THE REAL ESTATE MARKET IN PLANO

Plano is one of the more established markets in North Texas, which means pricing is generally higher than newer suburbs—but buyers get mature neighborhoods, strong resale value, and long-term stability. While some areas are competitive, locals know there are specific pockets where homes offer better value without sacrificing location.

COMMUTE & LOCATION

Plano’s central location is a big draw. With easy access to US-75, the Dallas North Tollway, and George Bush Turnpike, commuting to Dallas, Legacy West, or surrounding business hubs is straightforward. Longtime residents also know which surface streets help avoid peak traffic during rush hour.

SCHOOLS & EDUCATION

Plano is served by Plano ISD, known for strong academics, fine arts programs, and college prep. What many buyers don’t realize is how much school zoning impacts resale—certain elementary schools feed into the most sought-after high schools, which can significantly affect long-term value.

COOL STUFF TO DO (LIFESTYLE)

For Foodies:
Plano offers one of the most diverse food scenes in North Texas. From Legacy West and The Shops at Legacy to hidden local favorites, locals enjoy everything from upscale dining to casual international spots without leaving the city.

For Families:
Parks, trails, recreation centers, and community events make Plano very family-friendly. Many neighborhoods are walkable, and weekend activities are easy to find without long drives.

Nightlife / Weekends:
Plano isn’t about loud nightlife—it’s more refined. Wine bars, cocktail lounges, and live music spots around Legacy and Downtown Plano are where locals go for relaxed evenings and social weekends.
