lovin' Frisco, TX - 2/21/2015
We retired to Frisco from Southern CA. I love it here. Summers are hot for sure but we have a pool, so who cares! Winters offer just enough snow and cold to be fun, not misery. Houses are way less expensive than Westcoast props, so we live in a house that would cost close to two million in SoCal today. Close to DFW, the tollway, shopping, theater and arts. I'm happy!

Counting the days till we LEAVE - 4/21/2013
If you like chain restaurants, bad BBQ and lots of shopping frisco is for you. Every street is 8 lanes, you can't walk anywhere, all the houses look exactly the same and there's nothing interesting to do. All people do here is eat and shop. And diversity is stuck at white people and Mexican people, unless you shop t the Asian markets.
I have a one year old daughter and I'd hate to have to actually raise her here.
People assume its cheap to live here but I spent less on groceries while living in ct than here...guess that's why everyone eats out. The weather is horrible. The summers are indescribable
I've noticed transplants from actual cities hate it here. So if you've lived in Boston, Philly, NYC, D.C., or any other major city (Dallas isn't one) you probably won't like it.
Move to Austin at least there's culture and character there. Dallas/frisco is bland.

Frisco Texas is a great place to be - 1/1/2012
We have lived in Frisco for 10 years and it is wonderful. It is a small suburb north of Dallas that has everything you would ever want from shopping to restaurants. My husband refers to it as a "bubble" and I wouldn't want to live anywhere

Frisco Texas - 9/18/2011
I'm also very sad to hear someone complain they felt put upon by the schools in Frisco. I would initially be inclined to assume it is either paranoia or overly sensitive kids who maybe don't have very thick skins? The world is a rough place and indeed most other places are MUCH rougher than the Frisco schools in my humble opinion. Sheltered children might do well to get their feet wet outside of the isolated realms from which the LDS folks originate and learn that water does in fact roll readily from a ducks back.
I've raised and put four kids through the Frisco schools over 15 years. My youngest is 18 and just started college now. I assume LDS is a reference to Mormon Christians? I do recall the influx of Mormons which occurred perhaps five or six years ago around the same time they built the new Mormon and Lutheran churches on Coit road.
While I expect all children are prone to treat any new and different children as outsiders initially, that is

The Real Windy City - 4/15/2011
My wife and I moved to Frisco from the Chicago area in October of 2010 and we absolutely love the north Dallas area. Although we have not yet experienced the heat of a Dallas summer yet, we both enjoyed the very mild winter. Except for two weeks of snow and ice and highs in the thirties, the rest of the winter was a piece of cake compared to the long dreary Midwest winters that we experienced for most of our lives.
For the most part, the heart of the Dallas winter consists of high temps in the low 50's-low 60's which is really nice, but the best part is the amount of winter sunshine that you still get. Most days are sunny which plays such a positive role on your mood. The only drawback to this area is the constant wind. This by far the windiest area I have ever seen, which is quite a statement coming from

Frisco, TX - A great place to live, play, raise a - 3/27/2011
Our family moved to Frisco, TX from Northern California in 2001 and I must say, this city has grown leaps and bounds!! We've seen the population go from 40k to over 100k in 10 years!! It's a diverse city with great schools, friendly people and convenient to everything, lot's of outdoor activities, tons of shops and dining til your hearts content. We have a several sports venues and Frisco was recently named the top place to raise an athlete. I was a little skeptical when we first moved here because it was not fully developed, but I'm glad we stuck around to see the growth. If you are planning a move here, you won't be disappointed. The first In-N-Out burger will be opening soon and I cannot wait for that!!

If you are buying in Frisco, you might consider do - 7/4/2010
Different people want different things when they buy a home. Quality of life is largely determined by the quality of governance of a city or of a homeowners association.
If you are even considering buying within the Heritage Lakes development, might I suggest that you consider doing due diligence by inputting the search term
"heritage lakes hoa " into the Google News search block. I would suggest that you will have a wealth of published pieces which should give you enough insight as to the quality of the governance of the mandatory HOA which rules this development. ( I would suggest that I would use the term "serves" for the function performed by other HOAs that are well managed.
Caveat emptor is the watch word

Living next to a working ranch, the Texas Rangers' - 9/12/2009
I do love Frisco - it is so mixed up - new and old all together. I live in a new subdivision that abuts one of the largest still- working ranches in the region. When I drive to work or shopping or home, I drive past herds of cows and bulls and horses, and wheat and corn fields. But here also is Stonebriar Mall, three new multi-theaters, trendy restaurants, the Rough Riders and the Stars hockey team headquarters and stadiums, five huge high schools in a ten mile radius, new homes and roads, parks and trails, and wide open spaces. Still. The building has stopped, somewhat, due to the economy...and homes are still foreclosing. But Frisco is for the future, young families, lots of hope, and great
