Allen

Allen is essentially built out, and that shapes everything about buying here. Most of the housing went up between the 1990s and the 2000s, so you're shopping established neighborhoods with mature trees and finished infrastructure rather than choosing a lot in a new phase. The city sits on US-75 between Plano and McKinney, which is why it draws buyers working anywhere along the North Dallas corridor. Homes are served primarily by Allen ISD, though some addresses fall in neighboring districts — worth confirming for any specific property.
