In terms of overall value, how will you rate these top Collin County cities from 1st to 3rd?
Plano > Mckinney > Frisco

Or are there other cities better than these three in the county?

HP > Plano > south lake > Mckinney > flower mound. Frisco is absolutely terrible, I just don’t get the ranking and draw. It’s all dentists and doctors offices.

I’m not sure you understand the boundaries of HP and UP (which share a school district). There is a Target in NW HP + 2 more just East. Tons of other conveniences at Preston Center, Snider Plaza, North Park, Inwood, etc. UP is bounded on 3 sides by Preston Hollow, Bluffview/Greenway, and HP. On the east side (really just NE corner) has some non-affluent areas (eg. Vickery). Not much different that the parts of Vickery and area by UTSW that border HP.

Anyways, it’s a weird distinction. Most people, including residents, treat the Park Cities as a single entity and, along with Preston Hollow, would consider them premier neighborhoods in Dallas. Very different vibe collectively than Collins/Denton.

We shopped HP/UP/Plano a ton, optimizing for schools, and opted for better access to the city than Plano could provide.

Moved from Plano West to Allen and prefer it. I like that it’s one big high school vs broken out. Also a lot more diversity.

Collin County is huge. Even small pockets of cities such as Dallas, Garland, and Richardson are considered Collin County.

And big chunks of Frisco are Denton county
