Someone else also mentioned north east Plano and that's a good option because parts of it are zoned to Frisco ISD. Look just to the south of 121 around Coit, Ohio, and Independence. It's the city of Plano, but Frisco ISD.

You'll pay a premium and face stiff competition for homes in Plano zoned to Frisco ISD. It'll be you and 20 south Asian families bidding on every house.

Have they opened up to buying resale now?

LMFAO. You act like people only have a hard and fast rule in life. You sounds like someone who loves to stereotype and generalize.

You haven't even started to feel the pain of folks moving down to DFW and bidding up used / new homes to the point where locals can't afford their tax increases.

Everyone is in for a rude awakening with how assets will be accumulated and priced the next decade.

Most of them (and the rest of us) don't seem to have a choice if they want to buy in the Frisco ISD. New builds are very expensive there now.

They have no choice because they have run out of land, and what is left is being developed at a trickle.

They're all flocking to Celina now. All of the large new developments there are going to be almost exclusively Indian as of a year or two ago. You don't see it in the Census data yet because Frisco only recently ran out of land. Evidently, they have no problems with schools there. However, there too, development is happening at a trickle, so it's going to be expensive, and it will be a very long time before it's non-rural.

Celina is stupid expensive for as rural as it is. I've been there and I don't get it at all. I guess I'm a city girl at heart; I need highways, shopping close by, noise, airplanes flying overhead, etc.
