Frisco, TX

#1 Best Place to Live in America

In 2018, Frisco topped MONEY Magazine's prestigious list of the "50 Best Places to Live in America". 

Every year, to make this list, MONEY researchers looked at cities with a population of 50,000 or more, weighing factors like housing, health and safety, diversity, cost of living, quality of life, education, and local amenities.

In its analysis, MONEY noted Frisco's "outstanding public schools" and public-private partnerships, "arrangements that bring high-level sports, art and technology to the Texas town".

Like sports? Us too. Whether you call it futbol or soccer, cheer on FC Dallas at Toyota Stadium; catch a Frisco RoughRiders baseball game while floating the Lazy River at Dr Pepper Ballpark, or watch the Dallas Cowboys practice and then tour their all-new headquarters and practice facility at The Star. No matter which team you root for, Frisco is the ultimate destination for sports fans. If shopping is your sport of choice, check out Frisco’s more than 9 million square feet of retail space throughout the city.

Of course, there’s food too. Between BBQ, sushi, pizza and pho, take your pick from Frisco’s more than 300 restaurants. Featuring more than 90 miles of trails, Frisco offers hikers, bikers, runners and walkers plenty of pathways to explore and was even named a "Bicycle Friendly" Community (1 of 8 in Texas) by The League of American Bicyclists. When it comes to arts and culture, Frisco has that going on as well. The city’s growing public art trail includes the nationally recognized Texas Sculpture Garden and the Bronze Cattle Drive Depictions, the longest continuous-themed bronze sculpture collection in the United States. And no visit to Frisco would be complete without learning about Frisco’s rich history at the Frisco Heritage Museum, standing alongside “Big Boy” at the Museum of the American Railroad or playing Pong on the world’s largest home Pong console at the National Videogame Museum. 

No matter your age or interests, there’s plenty of fun to find in Frisco!

I moved here from the SF Bay Area after 47 years (not counting my Marine Corps service), and could not be happier. Prices are higher here than other very good locations in the DFW area.
