Plano Overview

Located a mere twenty or so miles northeast of the booming city of Dallas, the hotspot of Plano is quickly on the rise. From down-home neighborly charm to a budding economic base, this Texas destination has become a fast favorite with both young professionals and growing families alike.

What is the history of Plano?

Plano was incorporated in 1873, coming on the heels of the newly completed Central Texas Rail. Despite a massive fire a few years later, the city would rebuild its downtown square and grow at a steady pace through the turn of the century, with the farming community slowly evolving to become a destination for large national brands such as JC Penny and Frito-Lay.

How is the weather in Plano?

Residents of Plano apartments can expect typical Texas weather patterns, highlighted by hot summers that can stretch well into September, and rainy, storm-laden springs. Winter can occasionally bring with it snow but typically small accumulation, and fall tends to be comfortable.

How do I get around town?

DART light rail services much of the Plano region, and bus service is also in high supply. The Dallas-Ft. Worth International Airport makes getting away a breeze for Plano apartment denizens, and while public transport is in high supply, many area residents still maintain ownership of at least one personal vehicle.

What is the Plano commute like?

While navigating around most Plano apartments is less than stressful, those commuting to Dallas or Ft. Worth can expect their fair share of lengthy delays and slow-moving morning and afternoon treks. Roadway construction is a constant in the region, especially on Highway 121 and the George Bush Turnpike, with nearby I-35 accounting for much of the congestion as well.

What are the local media outlets?

The 'Star Courier' handles much of the print news needs of Plano apartments, with nearby Dallas offering a bevy of radio and broadcasting options as well. Classic rock, country-western and sporing talk dominate the airwaves, with national affiliates of ABC and CBS easily accessible to most homes.

Why live in Plano, TX?

With ease of access to the job market boom of Dallas, Plano rentals seamlessly match comfort with convenience. Families will undoubtedly love the nearby school systems, and the downtown square is flush with eateries and shopping. For a growing Texas hotspot boasting flair and opportunity, Plano rentals hit all of the marks with flying colors.

What Plano landmarks should I see?

The Heritage Farmstead Museum is a must-see, and the Texas electric Railway Depot dates all the way back to the turn of the century 1900s. Te Woodruff Park features historic trees dating back over 500 years, and the Carpenter Park Recreation Center is a fantastic place to walk the dog or get in some Frisbee action.

What is there to do around Plano?

The roller coasters of 6 Flags are just around the corner from most apartments in Plano, and Dallas has plenty to fill the days and nights with, from nationally-known museums and art galleries to live music hot spots like 3 Links and Tree's. Get wild with a visit to the Dallas Zoo, or enjoy some of that legendary Tex-Mex cuisine with a trip to Chuy's for some enchiladas and refried beans. The Cox Playhouse is the place to be for Plano drama, and classic Lone Star State BBQ is never far away.

Any annual festivals or Plano events to know?

Christmas time is especially festive around Plano rentals, with the annual Lighting of the Tree drawing large crowds. The State Fair of Texas is just down the road, with waving Big Tex practically within eye-shot, and the fireworks display during the annual July 4th Plano Celebration is truly explosive.

Where are the nearby vacation spots?

Cadillac Ranch is a short drive from Plano apartments, and the college indie rock scene of Denton makes an excellent weekend escape. Big Bend National Park is due south-west, and New Mexico's famous painted desert landscapes are an easy drive as well. Oklahoma City is about three hours due north, complete with antique shops and quaint dining options, and the live music capital of the world of Austin is an easy drive from most Plano residences. Suffice to say, locals will not have a tough time filling those oh-too-short weekend hours!

Where is the best place to move in Plano?

From affordable and conveniently-located one bedroom units to luxurious and spacious top floor spreads, we're confident that the perfect Plano apartment is out there waiting to meet you. So why let another single day go past without enjoying all that life in the Lone Star State has to offer? Start your hunt today!
