BTW... check out Ye Ole Butcher Shop. One of my favorite places to stop when in the area.

Never heard of it, i'll add it to the list.

Thanks for the bump as well lol. Wondering if anyone knows anything about that town of Savannah, that I mentioned one post ago.

Speaking of Frisco, there is one large patch of undeveloped land right in the middle of it worth about a billion dollars (bordering Preston, east side, a couple miles up from the mall). My crazy ex-boss owns it.

I believe it. shite is retarded expensive for no apparent reason. Houses starting at 600's- a million that look like the houses in my subdivision. This area is throwing around money like it doesn't matter.

Plus the Dallas Cowboys are moving their corporate center to Frisco. Blowing everything up.

I live at eldorado and the tollway in frisco, Houses starting at 600's. check out newman village

Y'all just got a Whataburger and WalMart at the 380 intersection and you're complaining??? Ha! Makes it a lot easier to find the turn to get to Ray Roberts for fishing.

Little Elm is like a trashier version of Slidell and The Colony is pretty much bottom of the barrel in that area. Don't do it unless you get a house right on the lake.

McKinney is still the best option being discussed here.

Wife I have a home in far west Frisco just off Stonebrook and FM423. We are right between The Colony and Little Elm. I like Frisco a little better than either of them. Before that we lived in Plano off Parker and Midway in Glenhollow near Plano Presbyterian Hospital.

My kids are out of school so I'm not completely up to date. But, as someone else said Plano schools are huge. Plano West Senior HS had well over 2000 students and it is 11th and 12th grade only. We were very happy with the school but I think Frisco is a little better and not nearly as big. Reedy High School is the closet to me and it opened this year. They are building another, Lebanon Trail, which is scheduled to open next year and looking at another for 2017. The area is booming.

I am also very happy with local Frisco government. Top notch Police and Fire departments.

How's that area?

Dull people in a dull place.

But they think they are interesting.

All boring but great for families. You should check west of Frisco towards The Colony/121 corridor. That area is growing rapidly and isn't slowing down anytime soon. It isn't that far from Parker/DNT.

From what I can tell the Dallas area sucks compared to Houston.

Absolutely, 100% wrong. Flip this around.

I lived in Frisco for 14 years. My daughter graduated from Centennial High School, which was the second of now 9 high schools. We have now moved 20 miles north of Frisco to Celina. Frisco was great in the beginning but has gotten too big. When we moved there in 2000 the population was 35,000, now it is above 150,000 and doesn't show signs of slowing. It is a diverse city mostly whites with alot of Asians and alot of Muslims and a handful of blacks. We moved to Celina with an 8th grade son and he is loving it. It is a town of maybe 6000 and has that small town feel, but it is growing as well. This town is all about high school football and fellowship. It is far enough out to not be bothered by traffic but close enough to the city to be able to go and do the city things that some like.
