residents as of July 2025, up from 200,509 at the 2020 census, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. Frisco's growth has moderated from roughly 6% a year in the 2010s to a few percent annually now, as the city approaches its estimated build-out population of around 330,000.

01 — Cost of Living

Texas living, corporate-hub income, no state income tax

Frisco real estate runs well above the national average, reflecting the city's top-rated schools, corporate headquarters, and sports venues. Household incomes here run nearly double the national figure, and Texas's 0% state income tax adds further purchasing power for buyers relocating from other states.

For buyers relocating from California, New York, or the Pacific Northwest, real estate in Frisco is priced closer to what they're used to, but household incomes here run high enough that the math still works for many corporate transfers and dual-income households.

02 — Neighborhoods

Where to live in Frisco

Frisco's neighborhoods range from master-planned family communities to an established 55-and-over lake community, with new construction still active in the city's northern reaches. Frisco ISD attendance zone and proximity to The Star, PGA Frisco, or Legacy West are the biggest factors shaping price.

School zoning matters. Frisco ISD operates 12 high schools, each with its own attendance zone. Confirm the exact zone for any address, since boundaries have shifted as new campuses have opened in growing parts of the city.

04 — Jobs & Economy

Corporate headquarters and Sports City USA

05 — Schools & Education

Frisco ISD: an A rating for three years running

Frisco ISD is the single biggest driver of home values across the city. The district earned an A rating (score of 90) from the Texas Education Agency for the 2024-2025 school year, its third consecutive A rating, and none of its 75 rated campuses scored below a C. Your home's address determines which of the district's 12 high schools you attend.

06 — Getting Around

Tollways connect Frisco to the rest of DFW

Frisco sits about 25 miles north of downtown Dallas, connected by the Dallas North Tollway and Sam Rayburn Tollway (SH-121), with US-380 serving the fast-growing north side of the city. Frisco is a car-dependent city with a Walk Score around 25, so most daily travel is by car.

Drive times are estimates without traffic; the Dallas North Tollway and US-380 both see heavy congestion during peak commute hours.

07 — Safety

One of the safest large cities in the country

Frisco's overall crime rate runs roughly 48% below the national average, with violent crime especially low for a city of its size, according to FBI data. A 2025 MoneyGeek analysis of FBI crime-cost data ranked Frisco the second-safest city in the country among cities with 100,000 or more residents.

Overall reputation: Frisco is widely regarded as one of the safer large cities in Texas and the country. Safety still varies by neighborhood; areas like Cypress Creek consistently rate highest, so buyers should review data for a specific address rather than assume citywide averages apply everywhere.

08 — Things to Do

Sports City USA, with shopping and culture to match

09 — Real Estate Market

A mature market that has cooled from its peak

Frisco's real estate market has settled into a slower pace than during its fastest-growth years, with homes typically taking longer to sell than in nearby, newer suburbs. Prices remain among the highest in the DFW area, supported by the school district and corporate employment base.

10 — Buying & Selling in Frisco

What buyers and sellers need to know

Whether you're searching for homes for sale in Frisco or preparing to list, the details that separate a good outcome from a great one look different here than in a smaller, newer suburb.

For Buyers
  • Confirm the specific high school zone. With 12 high schools in Frisco ISD, attendance zones vary block to block in some areas.
  • Check for PID and MUD assessments. Many newer Frisco communities carry additional district assessments on top of standard property taxes.
  • Use the slower market to negotiate. With homes taking around 80 days to sell, buyers generally have more room than in the city's fastest-growth years.
  • Weigh established versus far-north new construction. Newer builds concentrate near Prosper and Little Elm, which may mean a different school district.
  • No state income tax. Texas's 0% rate increases purchasing power for out-of-state buyers and corporate transfers.
For Sellers
  • Price precisely from day one. With days on market up from prior years, overpriced listings sit longer and attract lower offers.
  • Expect competition from new construction up north. Builders in Prosper and Little Elm compete directly for the same buyer pool.
  • Lead with the A-rated school district. Frisco ISD's three straight years of A ratings is one of the strongest selling points available in North Texas.
  • Invest in presentation. Professional photography and staging are the norm at Frisco's price points.
  • Work with a local Frisco agent. Knowledge of specific school zones and HOA structures is not something a general DFW agent will have.
