Living in Plano

The city of Plano does suburbia right without the sleepy vibes. It’s a massive city in DFW with tons of things to do, places to eat, nature to explore, and apartments to live in. Divided into two separate areas, both East Plano and West Plano have their pros and cons, but you won’t regret living in either spot. 

East Plano is home to Downtown Plano and access to Dallas by US-75. Think historic brick buildings, locally owned restaurants, and a sense of small-town community that you can’t get anywhere else. Our favorite spots include 1418, Urban Crust, and Coco Beach. For renters, there are some great options right on the town square or just minutes from it, along with a new DART stop in the middle of it all if that’s your preferred transportation method. 

West Plano is East Plano’s boujee baddie sibling. If you’ve ever gone to Legacy West thinking you were in Frisco, you’re actually in Plano! (That’s how big this city is!). Legacy West is filled with luxury shops and pricey bites, along with one of the biggest Aritzia’s being right here. Across the way, you’ll find The Shops at Legacy and Legacy North, same vibes just on a smaller scale, as well as Granite Park, which sits right on a waterside boardwalk and is surrounded by great dining options. Clearly, it’s a foodie heaven. Unless you’re keen about living near all of the shopping areas and entertainment hubs in a high-rise or atop the shops, you’ll find most apartments in West Plano lean more on the traditional, garden-style side.
