Plano is one of the largest and definitely the best known of the Dallas suburbs. Although still a small town of under 18,000 people in 1970, by the early 1980’s, the city had grown to almost 80,000 in population and now stands at 250,000.
Plano is located above Toll HWY 190, the outer ring road of the Greater Dallas area. Geographically, Plano is the largest suburb in Greater Dallas, stretching over fourteen miles from east to west.
In Dallas, Plano is known for its excellent school system. Although the school district has suffered some setbacks in very recent years, partially due to an influx of displaced residents from New Orleans, it is widely known that Plano’s citizens will fight hard to make sure their children get the excellent education the area is so well known for.
The lifestyle in Plano is active and family oriented. Home styles range from moderately priced ranch homes in the older, eastern parts of the city, to very large newer homes in West Plano. Several golf neighborhoods offer moderately expensive fairway homes with long vistas over the hilly courses. Prestonwood Country Club’s Hills Course in far West Plano is one of the most enjoyable courses in town surrounded with attractive executive homes, most with a third-car garage space for a golf cart.
Shopping along HWY 75 in East Plano, and Preston Rd. and the North Dallas Tollway in West Plano offers everything anyone could ever want. The “Shops at Willow Bend” offers fine upscale shopping on the North Dallas Tollway.
