"Creekhollow Estates"

Its a great neighborhood buit by reputed Highland Homes. Local elementary is Stinson which is examplary in every way not only state testing, middle and high are nice, senior high also offers health and IB programs. All schools are part of coveted Plano school district. Location is great. There is a neighborhood park and Breckenridge Park is walking distance. Shopping, dinning, day cares, doctors, every amenity near by. They have a very active and supportive HOA. Creekhollow neighborhood offers quick access to two highways. Very easy to commute to all DFW employers and to airports if you travel. These homes are a great value, much nicer and newer than older Richardson. UTD, Collin Community College and Richland College are a short distance.
Pros
  • Location
  • Plano schools
  • Great value and great resale

"Frisco 411"

Its a nice suburb with new construction. It lacks character and commute to town and airport suck. They have plenty of shopping and dinning. Schools perform well for state tests but lag way behind other good districts in SAT/ACT scores, college addmissions, National Merit Scholarships, Academic Competitions etc. There are plenty high schools but no IB, Health or STEM options and AP performance doesn't match with demographics.
Pros
  • Safe
  • New construction
  • Lots of space to build new homes
Cons
  • Cookie a Cutter
  • Long Commute
  • You compete with builders for resale so easy to buy but hard to sell.

"Fantastic Dallas Suburb"

Plano is one of the best suburb in north of Dallas. You get location, nice home resale, excellent schools, greenery, shopping, dinning, entertainment and its pretty affordable. Most residents are educated and high earners. It's equally popular among young couples, families, empty nesters and retired folks.

No its not San Francisco or Hawaii but you wouldn't find those in any part of the Texas.
Pros
  • Friendly people.
  • cost of living
  • good schools
  • shopping
  • One of the most safe and convenient place on earth to raise family.
Cons
  • Exurbanites and city folks are equally envious of us, all the good things a suburb can offer and a short commute to city amenities. :-)

Yale66
Yale66 Realtors tried to take us towards far flung exurbs to new subdivisions where they get bigger commission for little effort but we made it clear that we need to stay central and if we can't afford Highland Park then Plano is our other choice.
