    The Ninth-Largest City in Texas

    Plano isn't on a dramatic growth curve anymore. It's consolidating — and that's good news if you're buying.

    A built-out, mature market of nearly 300,000 residents anchored by Legacy West, Granite Park, and Plano ISD's B-rated, financially perfect district. 2025 median home price $540,000 across 2,297 closed transactions, 50-60 days on market, and 3.2 months of supply — a balanced market that quietly favors buyers. Pricing has softened from 2022 peaks, fundamentals remain sound, and appreciation runs a steady 3-5% in normal years.

    Why Plano

    The Fundamentals Are Sound. That's the Whole Thesis.

    Legacy West & Granite Park Employment

    Toyota North America, Liberty Mutual, JPMorgan Chase, FedEx Office and a dense cluster of financial services, energy, and tech employers anchor West Plano. Local employment means many Plano residents skip the Dallas commute entirely — a meaningful advantage when you're choosing where to live for the next five years.

    Plano ISD: B-Rated, Financially Perfect

    Plano ISD earned a TEA B (82/100) for 2024-25 and a perfect 100/100 on the FIRST financial integrity rating — one of only five Honor School Boards in Texas. Plano Senior High, Plano East, and Plano West all run 7-8/10 with 95-97% graduation rates and an IB program at Senior High.

    86 Parks Across 4,200+ Acres

    Oak Point Park (75+ acres, lake, amphitheater, dog parks, trails), the Collin Creek Trail System (~12 miles), aquatic centers, tennis facilities, and golf courses. Plano's park acreage is substantial — more than most comparable Texas suburbs — though it's suburban-friendly rather than a hiking destination.

    What Plano Buyers and Sellers Say

    "We relocated from out of state for a Legacy West role and Rob walked us through every Plano submarket honestly. We ended up in West Plano walking distance to the office, in the elementary feeder we wanted. Saved us months of back-and-forth."

    Your Plano Specialist

    Rob Poulton

    Plano is a market I study closely. There are a lot of agents here. Fewer can tell you the real difference between East, Central, and West Plano — which goes far beyond ZIP codes. Fewer still understand why homes near Legacy West command a premium, or what the long-term school assignment implications are when you buy on Coit Road versus Windhaven. I do.

    My background is in finance and lending. I track absorption rates by submarket, price per square foot by builder, and what a Plano ISD elementary assignment actually does to a comparable sale. I know which streets carry highway noise, which subdivisions have HOAs that hold value, and which homes deserve a harder look at inspection. No high pressure. The truth, even when it's not what you want to hear.
