PLANO

Plano has been ranked as one of the top cities to raise a family. It's amazing location to downtown Dallas and easy access to both the DFW airport and Love Field, it is a great Dallas location!

WELCOME TO PLANO

Plano has been ranked as one of the top cities to raise a family. It is a highly sought after Dallas suburb located less than 20 miles to downtown Dallas and is a beautiful, well-established city. Plano schools initially set the gold standard for up and coming nearby suburbs and offers a family-friendly city.  Most recently, it was announced that Plano was named by Wallethub as the “Best place to find a job in Texas.”  It’s no wonder with the presence of many major corporations such as Toyota Motor North America, Pepsico, Samsung Electronics America, JP Morgan Chase, and NTT Data.  

 

What to Love

  • Urbanesque nightlife and dining at Legacy West and the Shops at Legacy 
  • Great Dallas metro location with short commute times
  • Diverse housing options from luxury high-rise condominiums to sprawling estates

Local Lifestyle

Plano offers the best of both worlds as a family-oriented city yet features urban amenities not found in newer suburbs.  Eclectic and fine dining establishments are plentiful across the city in addition to great locally owned restaurants. Enjoying park life is a large part of Plano culture as some of the most notable parks are here. Playing fields, nature trails, and tons of outdoor festivals bring locals and visitors outdoors year round.  From antique shopping to upscale boutiques, Plano is a shopper’s paradise.

 

Dining, entertainment, and shopping

Even Dallasites trek north to experience Plano’s popular Legacy West. This fabulous area is home to premier dining experiences like the Tommy Bahama Restaurant featuring an island vibes menu and boutique. Savor authentic Spanish tapas and cocktails at Bulla Gastrobar. If your party all crave different cuisine, head to Legacy Hall where you can choose from over 20 cuisine options and sit together with open table seating on 3 levels. Count on great live music on the weekends while you dine.

 

No need to head to Dallas for comedy options. The Plano House of Comedy at Shops of Legacy attracts national talent. Also at the Shops of Legacy is the Angelika Film Center featuring independent and specialty films. If you seek chic and upscale shopping, Ella Blue and the Impeccable Pig are just a few boutique options. Reward your shopping experiences with fine dining at Del Frisco’s Grille or Eddie V’s Prime Seafood.

 

Extend your shopping to the Shops at Willow Bend where luxury home furnishings can be found at Restoration Hardware or Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams.  Crate and Barrel and Z Gallerie offer more home accessories and furnishings. Neiman Marcus is the iconic department store you don’t dare miss. 

 

Things to Do

This affluent and established city offers the simpler lifestyle of a suburb but the high energy and amenities found in a large city like Dallas that you don’t have to look far to find family activities both indoor like the Crayola Experience to hiking through the scenic Arbor Hills Nature Preserve with hiking trails.  Catch a music, arts, or food festival with many celebrating the diverse cultures of Plano. Plano is the place to shop ‘til you drop so experience the Farmers Market at Willow Bend on Saturday mornings or unique treasures at the Plano Antique Mall to round out your shopping experiences.
