Plano is the definition of suburban hell. Strip malls, parking lots, drive thrus, and HOAs is the culture there

as someone who lives in a dilapidated suburb in dfw, ill say its bc everything is newer. my suburb doesnt have many good places to eat (and somehow they all smell like plumbing problems when you walk in), and everything is just crumbling concrete from the 70s. layers and layers of telephone poles. no grass. its really depressing.

ThePlumThief@reddit

Good schools, big houses, close to country clubs and arbor hills nature preserve for some greenery, shops at legacy/legacy west/the star for shopping/dining, close enough to dallas that you can drive to the city for bigger events (concerts, sports games, conventions and such), but far enough that you can call the cops on a homeless person and they'll be gone within the hour.

It's the ideal place for rich people that can't quite afford Highland Park but can afford to buy their kids a new mercedes for their first car.

[-]

StankoMicin@reddit

Because muh taxes. That's why

[-]

valiantdistraction@reddit

Between the suburban taxes and the HOAs, though, you're paying significantly more than you'd pay in Dallas.

[-]

Delicious_Hand527@reddit

The decent areas of Dallas are way more expensive. The property tax rate is higher in Dallas, and the services are worse. And the vast majority of Dallas is equally as suburban, with larger single family lots than it's suburbs. Outside of Loop 12, Plano, Richardson, Garland, and Arlington are more dense than Dallas is.

[-]

SkyScreech@reddit

It’s a positive feedback loop. The more people move to the suburbs the more money is pumped into the suburban economy so the more businesses and companies try to move there so the less appealing Dallas is so more people move to the suburbs and on and on and on.

JustMarshalling@reddit

We’re looking to buy in a walkable neighborhood around DFW. Checked out downtown Plano, somehow it’s still very suburban and spread out.

[-]

Fournier_Gang@reddit

Curious what your dream walkable neighborhood is that isn't Dallas-proper.

[-]

JustMarshalling@reddit

Addison Circle (basically downtown Addison) It’s shockingly pleasant. Quiet AND a lot to do, one huge park and plenty of miniature parks hidden around the neighborhood, tons of tree coverage over large sidewalks, wide variety of restaurants and shops, all in like one square mile.

The restaurants are nice, but the real draw is the public spaces. We want to enjoy where we live without having to spend money.

[-]

suburbanista@reddit

Consider the alternative: homes so close to cafes, grocery stores, and jobs that your car is just dead weight; all connected by trains and buses that will allow anyone to ride in town. Neighborhoods with no access control.

Do you want to live somewhere where some of the homes have a taco stand so close you can walk to it?

Plano is the last bastion of suburban society and we should all fight to protect it against DART and mixed use development.

Sichuan Pepper House
Chongqing House

My wife and I typically get a combination hot pot, chili pepper chicken or intestine, and green beans or other vegetable. Going with a large group is the best because you can go family style and sample a lot of dishes. But anyway, prepare for spice, oil, and mountains of flavor.

Right? The only people who think Plano has mid food are white people who think Benihana is a cultural experience. It's crazy to me because people think Plano is just Legacy West or that dead mall they're tearing down, old town Plano and around 15th street there's a ton of little mom and pop restaurants. It also had the last Fiesta that sold in house made beef jerky, that was god damn delicious, tears of joy, perfect seasoning and crispness level. Alas, another victim of Covid... damn you Covid.

Plano property tax rates are 2.2% or 2.3%. A few select properties are in PID/MUD that could raise property taxes to 3%. But that is a small part of Plano.

[-]

Rakebleed@reddit

they’re also paying HOA fees…

[-]

thephotoman@reddit

As I said over in the linked thread, about half the city’s single family detached dwellings do NOT have an HOA. However, we have a lot of townhomes and condos, many of which are small developments, maybe only 5 to 10 units. Those need HOAs because they all own a part of a single attached structure.

[-]

Substantial-Ad-8575@reddit

Not everywhere in Plano. More so in West Plano than East Plano.

Have several friends living in West Plano. About half have HOA. From $125-$200 a month Inthink was average. Typical home was $1.4m, with $16k-$20k taxes. Houses are already paid off, so just property taxes, insurance, HOA as monthly costs. Plus utilities.

[-]

Decapitat3d@reddit

Texas does not have a state income tax, so the property taxes are more than elsewhere so we can fund our schools, roads, and other general infrastructure.

1notadoctor2@reddit

Yet Texas schools are severely underfunded. That’s why it’s crazy! Texans pay so much property tax, but it’s quickly negated by all of the tax breaks and credits given to the corporations

I have learned that there are some people who really and truly believe that living near someone whose grass is slightly too long or who parks an RV in their driveway occasionally is hell on earth.

I've also learned that these same people believe the neighborhood will go to the dogs without an HOA. I can't say I've ever experienced that but I also probably wouldn't notice if my neighbor's grass was occasionally mowed a week late, so.

[-]

BruceBruceNthatass@reddit

The next people looking to buy the home will notice or another nearby house would notice tho. That’s the point genius.

[-]

permalink_save@reddit

All of the important shit from an HOA, like not having grass growing tall and wild, is usually city code anyway. Dallas dinged us with a warning because behind our fence was getting a bit shaggy, not even out of control or in the way either, but code is code.

[-]

valiantdistraction@reddit

This is exactly what I say! And same, I've gotten a warning because the bit between the fence and the alley was somewhat overgrown but not too crazy. The yard men just didn't want to drag the equipment back there in the heat I think, lol. Who can blame them

OneMaharajah@reddit

Can someone explain the desirability of that area? I feel like other parts of DFW offer things that area doesn’t or offers a better value. Want a good school district and a growing base of tech jobs? Frisco/Plano border. Want to eat out, shop, and have close access to DFW airport? The Tripoint of Carrollton, Lewisville, and TC. Want 20-30 minute access to downtown Dallas during non rush hour? Irving Las Colinas area. I just don’t see the hype in that area

[-]

Lurcher99@reddit

It's 5-10 min to any border highway, isolated from noise and traffic. Plano schools still good, and it's not as soulless and sterile as the concrete jungle of Frisco. No matter what people think, this is a great central area for a car centric area. FWIW, there is no CFA in central Plano 😜

[-]

Delicious_Hand527@reddit

There most assuredly is a chick fil a in central plano. There are at least 2. Plano spreads pretty wide, that square is not the sum total of central Plano.

[-]

armadilloantics@reddit

Is coit and spring creek not central plano?

[-]

palabrist@reddit

Yeah I'd say it's the definition of central. I live in this area and I think it's kind of nice if you're a renter/apartment-dweller. It's mostly Indian, Pakistani, and Persian families. There are several dated, boring apartment complexes (mine among them) that are safe and clean with forgiving credit checks and surprisingly low rent. All around me are McMansions. But I get to live in their shadows in a comfortable 1 bedroom that would cost $300-500 more in a more hip neighborhood.

I miss living in a more vibrant area but when you are in a lower tax bracket, you can end up in some iffy living situations to be near the cool stuff. I'm OK with being a lame Central Plano resident in a boring 90s style apartment if it means I pay as little as I do and don't have to worry about my car getting broken into etc.

Pumpnethyl@reddit

I traveled for work for 20 years. 14 of those years we spent way the hell out in McKinney. The airport drive from McKinney in 1999 on was miserable. It got better, but still a long damn drive anywhere. Downtown for example. Now we live just south of the Bush/DNT Interchange now. We can get to the airport in 15-20 minutes after rush hour. Downtown takes 25 minutes, etc. We go to a lot of concerts and that stupid McKinney to AAC drive was such a drag.

[-]

OneMaharajah@reddit

Haha I had a somewhat opposite move. My family is from the Carrollton-Lewisville Area, very convenient to get to DFW and not too bad of drive to downtown Dallas, plus access to K town, Grandscape, stonebriar mall, etc. Now im in McKinney north of 380 and its like driving in hell to get to downtown Dallas or the DFW airport

[-]

Pumpnethyl@reddit

Oh man. North of 380 is a haul. Are they elevating 380 through McKinney? It’s under construction to the west. Nightmare traffic, 2 years ago. I haven’t been there since

[-]

achieve_tendernism@reddit

Higher income census tracts that have been established are just gonna have higher, more stable home values as there is less uncertainty about where the neighborhood is headed. See: Preston hollow. They hold up better in downturns too, Preston hollow only dropped 8% in value during 2008, because Preston road is the main artery where legacy and old money has established a wealth bunker.

In other words, rich people don’t care about anything you said as long as their money is in the safest place possible.

[-]

OneMaharajah@reddit

True, makes sense since thats where the new C-suite guys went after old guys in Preston Hollow, UP, HP, etc

[-]

achieve_tendernism@reddit

Yeah and strict HOAs contribute to that because you can’t let your landscaping go, build weird shit, paint your house in a way that clashes with the neighborhood. Plus mature trees. All of this makes sure that luxury developers always anchor their stuff to Preston road and the money follows.

[-]

throwredditoraway@reddit

First of all, it's 30 mins on average to downtown if you take 75 and a little less if you take the tollway from that part of Plano. There's several homes listed in the mid $300k and up before you reach $1.2M starting point. Lastly, Plano has attracted just about every type of restaurant and older strip malls have various ethnic cuisines, so it's not some completely soulless suburban hell area as people are trying to make it out to be

[-]

Friengineer@reddit

During rush hour it's definitely 45 minutes minimum, usually closer to an hour.

[-]

Delicious_Hand527@reddit

An hour to downtown? Nah. I guess it depends on which part, but anything between HP and I30 north is 40 minutes. Also it's fitting that DT Dallas is only considered to be a place to travel to during rush hour.

[-]

It can take 45 mins to drive 10 miles depending on traffic in any part of the metroplex during rush hour. Point being most drives take less than 30 mins to get to the downtown area from that part of Plano

..."Rj Mexican Cuisine holds a 4.8-star rating across 11,252 Google Maps reviews as of April 13, 2026. That makes it, by Google’s own ranking logic, the top Tex-Mex restaurant in Dallas. You’ve probably never eaten there. It isn’t Mia’s. It isn’t Mariano’s, E Bar, or Las Palmas. It’s a spot most Preston Hollow regulars can’t place, outranking institutions that have fed this neighborhood for decades, and the math doesn’t hold up. D Magazine reported that Rj Mexican Cuisine’s 11,252 reviews exceed the combined total for Mia’s, Mariano’s, E Bar, and Las Palmas. Anyone who’s spent a Friday night at Mariano’s or ordered queso at Mia’s on Lemmon knows something’s wrong with that picture." (source: Preston Hollow local + D Magazine)

Still gentrified quite a bit-- I grew up in that area and have been completely priced out. I get that malls are dead, but seeing Collin Creek and the antique mall town down, along with my elementary and middle school torn down and rebuilt, and my neighborhood turned into a bougie named district kind of hurts.

It's really a mixed bag. I got robbed at gunpoint at my first job over on Parker and K ave. Now it's got the fancy new H-mart in it. It's not a bad thing that the area seems safer, but there's this feeling of homesickness for a home that doesn't exist anymore.
