Our Take
Plano offers solid schools, a strong job market with AT&T and other tech firms, and low flood risk, making it a good fit for young professionals and families. The main drawback is the near‑zero walkability and the need for a car for most errands. If you’re okay with driving and want a reliable suburban environment, it’s a solid choice.
