Texas has emerged as one of the most sought-after destinations for people relocating in recent years, with North Texas experiencing a particularly strong influx of newcomers. While many are moving to the Lone Star State from other parts of the country, a significant number of native Texans are also choosing to settle in the rapidly expanding city of Frisco.
According to a recent study by Move Buddha, Frisco has solidified its position as the most popular Dallas-area suburb for those planning a move in 2025. This fast-growing community has not only captured the top spot in North Texas but has also earned national recognition. The study ranks Frisco as the fifth most popular suburb in the entire United States for relocation.
Here’s why:
A Competitive Housing Market
As demand for housing in Frisco continues to surge, the real estate market has become increasingly competitive. According to the study, the median home value in Frisco is $612,000, making it one of the most expensive suburbs in the analysis and increasing about 75% over the last five years. This price is significantly higher than the average home value across the top 25 suburbs ($472,482) and well above the national average of $356,585.
Even with the high prices, Frisco’s luxurious neighborhoods more than make up for it. New developments such as Fields — located next to the PGA headquarters and the upcoming Universal Kids Resort — boast highly sought-after communities.
Not to mention, the massive Grand Park in Frisco is set to be the ultimate destination for outdoor adventures, while Frisco Center For The Arts could bring Broadway shows to the city. Just a short drive away, Dallas and beyond provide an endless array of cultural, entertainment and nightlife options, from world-class museums and sporting events to lively restaurants and concerts
Booming Economy Brings Job Opportunities
Frisco has become a major hub for tech, finance and corporate headquarters, drawing professionals and businesses looking for growth with companies such as TIAA, Ruiz Foods, McAfee and more.
The Dallas-Fort Worth area is home to 24 Fortune 500 company headquarters, with many choosing to settle outside Dallas in cities like Frisco, Plano, Irving and McKinney. In fact, Frisco’s appeal as a prime destination for business projects and expansion continues to grow. Over the past three years, Frisco saw the establishment and expansion of 70 companies, leading to the creation or retention of nearly 10,500 jobs and a 24% reduction in the labor shed.
Top-Rated Schools and A Safe Community
With highly ranked public and private schools, along with a reputation for safety, Frisco is a top choice for families seeking a high quality of life. Consistently recognized as one of the top school districts in Texas, Frisco ISD is known for its high academic achievement, low student-teacher ratio and robust college preparedness programs.
In 2024, Frisco was named the second safest city in the U.S. According to a study by Money Geek, Frisco ranked third-lowest in violent crime, with just 86 incidents per 100,000 residents. Frisco's crime cost per capita was $287, far below the national average of $2,178. This lower cost allows more funds to benefit the community, with the study also calculating the total economic losses from crime in each city.
