Question: What town in Texas was designed by the urban planner who developed the master plan for Beverly Hills, California?
Answer: Highland Park in Dallas. In 1889, a group of investors purchased just over two square miles of property north of downtown Dallas for $500,000, intending to develop a community with high-end housing. In 1906, a local businessman hired Wilbur David Cook to design a master plan for the community. Cook previously designed the plan for Beverly Hills, California. Today, Highland Park has an estimated population of 8,719, and last month’s median sale price for homes was $4,850,000.
