Plano, TX, is alive and thriving in the northern part of the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Growing leaps and bounds, it’s well regarded as one of the top places to live in all of the United States of America and is the second-fastest developing area in the country. With an unemployment rate in Plano, Texas, of 3.50%, a job growth rate of 3.09% and a projected future job growth over the next ten years of 42.68%, it’s no wonder people are flocking to this town.
Population Explosion
Dallas-Fort Wort and the surrounding area attracted over new 144,000 people, according to the 2015 Census. The population growth can be seen all over with people concentrating most in the north. The signs of growth include dense, mega-complex, multi-family home building projects. Many of these home developments include pools, gyms, recreation areas and neighborhood shopping.
Legacy Business Park
One of the newest developments in Plano is The Shops at Legacy, created by Fehmi Karahan. Offering shopping, eateries, entertainment and a host of services, this magnificent retail center is the vibrant heart of the Legacy Business Park. Together, the businesses in this tight-knit community provide a unique urban experience for those living in Plano and the entire Dallas-Fort Worth area. Residents and visitors alike can enjoy the metropolitan style homes, boutique retail, top-notch restaurants and public trails and parks.
Bullet Train
According to the Plano Profile, the Plano City Council is considering the approval of a high-speed train that would link Dallas to Houston via an unbelievably short two-hour ride. Both cities are expanding considerably in both population and traffic problems, and this new bullet train would provide a reliable, safe and efficient means of transportation. As larger numbers of people take the train and leave their vehicles at home, traffic will become less congested and the environment will reap the benefits of decreased air pollution levels. By taking the train, riders will spend less time on the road and be able to enjoy more sleeping, exercising and relaxing, and can spend more precious time with family and friends.
