What's moving Collin County?

 

2014 brought with it huge movement in the Collin County Real Estate market, making it the fastest rowing county in the nation.  But why?  Why is this quaint area of North Texas so attractive to both residential and commercial customers?  This might be easy to answer if you are from here.  Collin County has a diverse community of varying cultures and geography.  It seems Collin County has something for everyone. from urban loft living, to open farm land. 

For businesses, Collin County is attractive because of the space available for development and the local economy.

 In 2014 Toyota announced that its plans to move their headquarters in Plano.  This move will bring over 4000 new residents and create hundreds of new jobs for the area.

The Dallas Cowboys are moving their training camp from Valley Ranch to Frisco, along with a Texas sized multi use retail facility and mall.  State Farm Insurance has also made Plano their home, coming from Illinois.  Their newly constructed high-rise office building can be see as the tallest in the Plano skyline. 


The Nebraska Furniture Mart is also building the world's largest furniture store in The Colony, just west of Frisco on HWY 121.  This has prompted additional growth from Rooms to go, Holliday Inn, and several other developers setting up shop nearby. 

For homeowners, Collin County offers a rich environment, top notch schools, clean cities and streets, and most of all affordable housing in comparison with the National averages.

New construction continues to drive competition in the marketplace with existing home sales.  Apartments and master planned communities with features like golf courses, swimming pools, club houses, fitness centers, walking paths, nature preserves, neighborhood wifi, and much, much more!
Oh, and don't forget the schools!  Many people move here and are surprised by our schools rankings.  Here public schools are often times better than the private schools.  Small classrooms, computers, open concepts, experienced teachers and staff and full on student assistance programs.  


With all this hustle and bustle, Collin County is expected to continue grow over the next several years, with expansions of the local rail system, highway system, toll roads, parks and wildlife, as well as the commercial and residential expansion we are seeing today.

This is a very special place to live and work and play.
