Plano vs Dallas

How different is Plano compared to Dallas?
Specifically, the hustle and bustle of Big D gives me indigestion. If one would live and work in Plano, would it be a bit less hectic?

still fairly hectic but less so than living in Dallas proper. good schools, HOAs, chains everywhere.

Isn't that where they built a $75 million dollar high school football field?

I actually worked in a boring section of Plano and lived in Midtown Dallas for about a year. That reverse traffic commute was cool and living at Mockingbird station was cool.

Not much difference. I have lived in both. Really, you can't tell when Plano begins or ends...same with Dallas....it's like one HUGE metropolis. I would pick Plano if I were to choose. Really depends on the schools if u have little ones.

Very good place to raise a family.
However, if it weren't for the city logos on the traffic lights, I wouldn't know where one Dallas suburb ended and another began.

it is all the exact same fam.
if you must live in the city/suburbs just live in Highland Park, University Park, or Preston Hollow, or a nicer part of FW because those people keep to themselves more.
best case scenario would be living in the country on some land.

Allen, but Allen, Frisco, McKinney, Plano, and Prosper all kinda run together.

Frisco. You want to be in Frisco.
If you want a little more sedate and some land, try Flower Mound.

I lived in Collin County, but within the city limits of Dallas. Worked downtown Dallas. Couldn't tell much difference at all. Unfortunately I was taxed by the City of Dallas, County County and Plano School District.

Didn't you know that everyone on the OT has the money to drop on a house in Preston Hollow?

I live pretty much at the center of everything in North Dallas. If your job allows you to go the opposite of traffic on the PGBT/DNT it will literally allow you to go to work on "your time."
I have to travel south to Las Colinas everyday on the PGBT and if I don't leave before 7am, it's completely frickey.
T-Mobile and ATT foundries are located from me going opposite, so whenever I have to do a customer visit or meeting, I can always leave whenever.
Plano has a lot around it. You have the Shops @ Legacy, Shops at Willow Bend, and plenty of places to go drink, bowl a ball, play golf, etc.
If your job is anything Techy the two major corridors are building up faster than you can blink.

What about Trophy Club, TX?
Is that a suburb of Dallas or FW?
Anyone know much about Trophy Club?

Depends on your age, work, and wealth. The recent college grads tend to live in Uptown, whether they work downtown or not. I used to work downtown, but made the trip from Plano. Not great, but not a nightmare either.
I love living in Plano. It has everything you need and Addison (restaurant/bar capital) is only 5 minutes away. Frisco, Allen, McKinney and the surrounding cities are all very nice too and you can probably get bigger yards for the money.

definitely not the richest area in Texas.
some houses in Preston Hollow aren't very expensive.

We have some dear friends that live in Preston Hollow. Would love to be close to them in proximity. But I can't swing that house note. Will make $150K or so a year.
The thing that stresses me out is all the big city traffic and being away from my family. Have a 3 year old. Don't want to spend two hours a day commuting.

If you're just talking about suburbs, if you find a nice one, they're mostly similar.
Probably also depends on whether you're married and/or have kids. If you're more of a family man, the Plano area may be the place for you.
