Brian Briars Unveils the Top Reasons Plano Remains an Ideal Place to Call Home

Plano consistently emerges as a top-choice location, and I'm excited to delve into the multitude of benefits it presents. Let's explore these advantages together.

1. Economic Prosperity: The Dallas-Fort Worth area consistently outperforms the nation, and Plano leads the charge in Collin County. Forecasts for 2024 predict it to be a top performer in growth. With steady demand, November 2023 alone showcased a 13% higher price appreciation compared to the previous year.

2. Accessibility: Plano positions itself as the only city in Collin County with four major expressways coursing through its veins. This unparalleled mobility not only makes daily commuting a breeze, but also positions Plano as an attractive hub for business headquarters. 

3. Educational Excellence: Plano's educational prowess shines, surpassing state averages in ACT, SAT, AP, IB tests, and STAAR performance. A remarkable 58% of residents hold either a bachelor's or postgraduate degree. Plano's dedication to continuous learning underscores its commitment to educational excellence.

4. Abundant Cultural Offerings: Plano, although a suburb, stands as a city in its own right, offering an array of cultural experiences without the need to venture elsewhere.

  • a) Culinary Delights: Plano has over 1000 diverse restaurants. Legacy West, The Boardwalk at Granite Park, and The Shops at Legacy have a combined 70 options to choose from. 
  • b) Vibrant Community: The quaint charm of 15th Street is both nostalgic and progressive. Plano's downtown area hosts lively festivals throughout the year, including Dickens in Downtown for the holidays. And let’s not forget the annual Hot Air Balloon Festival!
  • c) Family-Friendly Parks: Neighborhood parks, updated playgrounds and interconnected walking paths contribute to a wholesome lifestyle. The Plano Parks and Recreation Department has been named the best park system in Texas for three years in a row.
