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 2 square miles of property north of downtown Dallas for $500,000, intending to develop a high-end community. 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 8,773. Today, the median home sale price in Highland Park is about $3.87 million.
