I'm keeping my eye on Celina as a sleeper for growth. It'll be interesting to see what they'll do with their school system as enrollment skyrockets. Will they build another high school or go Allen-style and preserve their status as a football powerhouse?

The Chicago area as well. But DFW probably has the largest and most numerous "big burbs" for a metro area of its size. Hardly any unincorporated areas in DFW.

I forgot to add Carrollton and Lewisville to that 100,000+ club. I think with all of the companies concentrated in the Legacy area of Plano, The Telecom Corridor of Richardson and also in Frisco, the northward migration will continue to grow towards the Northern CoCo and Southern Grayson Co

South Florida, Salt Lake City, Kansas City, Detroit, and Denver also have a few suburbs that have more than 100,000 people as well. Aurora, CO is even about to have more people than Denver.

Yeah, people are able to live further and further out. They do this as there is plenty of room along I-20 (in Dallas County) for more growth, that probably won't happen for a LONG time (with current trends at least). I-20 in Tarrant County has seen a lot more growth and has more development than in Dallas County.

Phoenix is another metro area with several large suburbs:

Mesa (467,000)
Glendale (253,000)
Chandler (250,000)
Scottsdale (238,000)
Gilbert (220,000)
Tempe (179,000)
Peoria (163,000)

Phoenix is the first place that comes to my mind when I think of suburbs with large populations.

Melissa and Anna I think will also grow but not at the rate of Prosper. I don't know much about other areas like Rockwall but I assume some growth more east towards that area where the George Bush Turnpike is making progress.Wylie is also considered to be one of the fastest growing areas around too.
Just how far north do they plan on expanding the DNT? To the Oklahoma/Texas border? Its already halfway there.

South Arlington especially.
