Dallas is a burgeoning city that is expanding at a very fast pace across areas like Allen and McKinney to Richardson and Plano. The growth of the Telecom Corridor and other corporate offices’ movement to Richardson, 20 miles northeast of Dallas mark the development of what are known as the ‘exurbs’.
Richardson is well known for the above mentioned ‘telecom corridor’ and a number of high tech firms that have set shop here. Richardson is 20 miles northeast of Dallas, and has at its side highways, like the Tollway, 1-90 George Bush, Central Expressway, 121 which are quite busy and also well known. The area has some of the area’s older neighborhoods with homes that have larger trees and also great landscaping. While town homes and condos are getting to be much more prominent, with Turtle Creek being quiet convenient in terms of providing access to the city.
One of the best places to stay in Dallas is Highland Park. It is quite near Mockingbird and Central Expressway and also quite centrally located in between Oak Lawn, SMU and Downtown Dallas too. Highland Pak Village is well known for its shopping avenues and the Highland Park Independent School District is also well accepted and established here. The Turtle Creek is quite close by and one can go for wonderful strolls here. This area has some of the most gorgeous homes in town and it is the 41st wealthiest city in the US and 19th wealthiest if you consider a population in excess of 1,000.
Plano was an exciting place to live since its founding and has always given its residents a feeling of growth, expansion and promise. In 1881 the entire business district was destroyed by fire but was quickly restored. In terms of recent population growth, Plano had a 7% increase while Allen showed a whopping 11% increase. McKinney weighed in at a 9% increase and Frisco came in at 8%. Plano TX has been offering residents and fellow newcomers job opportunities such as gristmill works, sawmills and general store works. That’s what drove people to settle this place long ago and still is, right up to this day a good location for opportunity.
Another area worth mentioning is Lake Highlands. This area could have some decrepit neighborhoods, bit it also has stable and solid detached single family neighborhoods that are quite attractive. The far east portion of Dallas offers rental and very cheap housing options. Lakewood in Dallas has older neighborhoods with large streets lined by mature trees near the Whiterock Lake. This area also has Historic and Conservation Districts in the area which are icons and relics of the history of this area.
