Plano
Plano has something most DFW suburbs don't; depth. This established North Dallas city offers everything from affordable starter homes to luxury estates.
Vibe: Mature, diverse, and professionally oriented with a reputation for excellent schools and corporate headquarters.
Location & Commute: Plano spans a large area in Collin County, bordered by major arteries including the Dallas North Tollway, US 75 (Central Expressway), and President George Bush Turnpike. Downtown Dallas sits about 20 miles south—a 25-35 minute drive depending on your starting point. East Plano offers quicker access to Richardson and North Dallas, while West Plano connects easily to Frisco and The Colony.
Lifestyle & Amenities: Legacy West and The Shops at Legacy deliver upscale dining and retail. Historic Downtown Plano features local boutiques, restaurants, and community events. The city boasts numerous corporate headquarters (Toyota, JPMorgan Chase, Liberty Mutual), extensive trail systems, and abundant parks. Arbor Hills Nature Preserve is a local favorite for outdoor recreation.
Real Estate Scene: Plano's housing stock ranges from 1970s-80s traditional homes in East Plano ($300K-$500K) to newer luxury builds in West Plano ($600K-$1M+). You'll find everything from starter homes to estate properties. The market moves steadily across all price points.
Who Moves Here: Professionals working for major corporations, families prioritizing Plano ISD schools, and empty nesters downsizing within the same community. The city attracts a highly educated, economically stable demographic.
