The Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex has become one of the most desirable metropolitan regions in the US. The DFW was estimated to have netted a gain of more than 1.2 million residents over the past decade. But more specifically, what many people know are that some of those greatest Dallas suburbs rank among the best in Texas and the country, attracting high-income households and major corporate headquarters alike.
While some of these suburbs may now be considered too expensive or stagnating, others remain accessible to upper middle-class families and are experiencing rapid growth. In this article, we will focus on four of these thriving upscale Dallas suburbs: Flower Mound, Frisco, Plano, and Southlake.
We’re going to objectively compare these regarding hard data on demographics, housing, criminality rates, schools, politics, and potential value appreciation. What we look for here is to help you to determine your favorite among the four based on your lifestyle and priorities. To wrap it up, we are going to choose our overall winner with respect to desirability versus value for money.
This article’s data and analysis were provided by Maptimum, a leading online tool for neighborhood evaluation.
If you don’t want to read all the details, here’s the spoiler: the four areas are close in terms of the quality of life they offer. However, Southlake wins by a small margin. In terms of value for money, Frisco and Flower Mound come out on top, again by a tiny margin.
