Collin County, North Texas
The Best-Kept Secret North of Dallas
Population 107,000+ | Collin County | 25 min to Dallas
$600K – $1.2M
A beloved master-planned community wrapped around a championship golf course. Manicured streetscapes, top-rated elementary schools, and a strong sense of neighborhood pride.
Allen's most sought-after master-planned communities — each with its own character, price range, and lifestyle.
Allen ISD is the engine. Five National Blue Ribbon School designations, a 97% graduation rate, and Allen High School's 18,000-seat Eagle Stadium — which says as much about community values as it does about football. For families relocating from other metros, the school quality alone closes the deal more often than anything else.
The district consistently ranks among Texas's finest, with programs in STEM, fine arts, and athletics that rival schools twice its size. The magnet and dual-language options give families flexibility, and the feeder pattern from elementary to high school is one of the most seamless in the state.
Explore Allen SchoolsAllen sits along the US-75 corridor in Collin County, about 25 minutes north of downtown Dallas. The population has grown past 107,000, but the city still manages to feel mid-sized in the best way — big enough for a serious dining scene and professional hockey, small enough that you'll recognize faces at the grocery store.
The commute math works too. The Telecom Corridor running through Allen, Richardson, and Plano puts major employers like Texas Instruments, Samsung, and Ericsson within 15–20 minutes. You can live in a luxury home, walk your kids to a top-rated elementary, and still make a 9 AM meeting in Plano without breaking a sweat.
Moving to Allen GuideAllen is routinely named one of the safest cities in Texas, with public schools that hold their own against any district in the state. The parks system covers over 1,000 acres. The restaurant and retail scene has matured well beyond the usual suburban suspects.
Home values have appreciated steadily, and master-planned communities here offer a standard of living that buyers from coastal markets find almost hard to believe at these price points. The real estate market remains one of the most resilient in North Texas — with steady appreciation rates and high demand year over year.
