Moved to Coppell last year and totally agree with you. Great suburb and community and the number 1 reason we moved was that it has the number 1 ISD in DFW
The seconod I saw Plano was #2 I immediately knew who took the #1 spot. DFW north of the PGBT just has amazing urban development. I commute to UTD, and it's just a stark difference how much 1 tollway changes how everything looks.
Would have been nice to see you list a cheaper suburb like Wylie, Forney, Melissa, Justin, or Mansfield. Everything you listed is $$$$. And Southlake’s downside is how expensive it is. If you can’t keep up with the Jones’s there, don’t bother. Matt also leaves out a major con with schools in Allen & Plano. If you have teenagers, avoid Allen & Plano like the plague. Their high schools are HUGE. Unless your kid is Uber talented or high IQ, they won’t be able to compete to get on the sports teams, top arts clubs, or be anywhere near the top 10% of the class. They’ll get lost in the shuffle.
Some people says this: if you like sports, Frisco is the place for you! Actually, sports are very very important part of American lives ( especia NFL/Americak-football . Without sports, American's life will be boring! After Covid-19, only sports ( especial NFL game) can bring crowds to take risks on Covid-19 variants. So, that is why even Las Vegas try to become "sports city of USA"! Golf is the only sport even more wide-spread during Covid-19! However, golf represents high-end, expensive and luxurious so that it is not favored by ordinary people ( especial poor people)!
Love that you featured a pic of Craft Way Kitchen in Plano. The owners are amazing. I worked with them for years, and their concepts and ideas are the epitome of excellence. They pride themselves in customer obsession.
This video is excellent and your opinion on the ranking is the BEST! Frisco/Plano ranking depend on themselves; i.e. their commercial district is under their control! However, the commercial portion of South Lake and Coppell depends on. Dallas and Fort Worth majorly! The other thing is the city size! You can't compare New York city with South Lake because the size is different!
Even though Apple store moving out of Stonebriar mall, Frisco's 2 "Best Buy" stores have an Apple computer service center. However, lots of people don't know this. This is my suggestion: Stonebriar mall should have a "virtual store" in its store listing and mention about this - the apple (OSX) computer technical services are still in local "best Buy"s so that tourists know this Frisco special ( special advantage ) and USA unique Apple computer service!
**Aging** population. The reason that’s a downside is people come and don’t leave, causing Plano’s school district to have to close some schools and realign school zones.
Good presentation/video! Northern Texas cities are few cities in the USA not blocked by Covid-19 world crisis. Most USA cities are still struggle to meet 2019 economic record!
that's funny. I'm a pretty steady driver. Though if you're referring to real estate, the background data for this video were the Niche ratings website. 😎
