residents as of July 2025, up only about 2.6% since the 2020 census, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. Plano's land area has barely changed since 2010, making it a largely built-out, mature suburb rather than a fast-growth one, with turnover driven by resale rather than new construction.
Plano real estate runs above the national average, supported by household incomes well above the national median and a deep bench of corporate employers. Texas's 0% state income tax adds further purchasing power for buyers relocating from other states.

Plano ISD attendance zone and proximity to Legacy West are the biggest factors shaping price.

Plano was one of the first Dallas-area suburbs to attract major corporate relocations, starting in the 1980s and 1990s, and it remains home to a deep bench of national and regional headquarters, anchored by the Legacy Business Park corridor.
Plano ISD earned an overall B rating (82 out of 100) from the Texas Education Agency for the 2024-2025 school year, matching its 2023-24 score. Individual campus ratings vary more than in some neighboring districts, with 23 of 71 rated campuses earning an A in 2024-25 and two receiving an F, so the specific school zone matters more here than the district average alone.
Plano sits about 20 miles north of downtown Dallas, served by US Highway 75 and the Dallas North Tollway. Unlike most North Texas suburbs, Plano also has DART light rail service, with several stations connecting directly into downtown Dallas.
Drive times are estimates without traffic; US-75 sees heavy congestion during peak commute hours.
Plano's overall crime rate runs roughly 24% below the national average, according to FBI data, and the Plano Police Department reported its lowest major-crime rate since it began tracking the metric in 1993, down about 11% year over year.
Category | Plano | National Avg |
|---|---|---|
Overall Crime Rate vs. Avg | ~24% below | baseline |
Violent Crime Rate (per 100K) | ~152 | ~359 |
Property Crime Rate (per 100K) | ~1,466 | ~1,760 |
Plano pairs major shopping destinations with a genuinely walkable historic downtown and a busy annual festival calendar.
Because Plano is largely built out, its housing market runs almost entirely on resale rather than new construction, unlike Frisco or Forney. Prices remain well above the DFW regional median, driven by established neighborhoods, school reputation, and job access.
Whether you're searching for homes for sale in Plano or preparing to list, an established market like this one rewards buyers and sellers who understand its specific neighborhood-by-neighborhood variation.
