Frisco, Texas, may be a long way from the West Coast, but it derives its name from the St. Louis-San Francisco Railway, known as the Frisco, which ran through the area from 1904 until 1980. Located 28 miles north of Dallas, it is one of the Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) Metroplex’s fastest-growing cities. According to U.S. Census Bureau data, Frisco was ranked 15th nationally for year-over-over-population growth in 2022. Frisco has proximity to Dallas and Fort Worth along with top-rated schools. It’s also home to sporting arenas, including the practice facility and headquarters for the Dallas Cowboys (The Star), Toyota Stadium and Riders Field.
“There’s a lot of job opportunities in Frisco,” says Sundar Sethuraman, a Realtor with Fathom Realty. The city is home to the Professional Golfers’ Association (PGA) headquarters and other major employers include T-Mobile, Amerisource, the Frisco Independent School District and the City of Frisco.

From farming town to fast-growing city
This small farming town rapidly transformed into a DFW suburb from the 1980s to 1990s, and much of Frisco’s housing market reflects this recent boom. New multi-use developments like Field West, which includes residential and commercial property, are being built up in Frisco. Prices typically range from $240,000 for an older ranch-style home to as high as $7 million for newer custom builds. In 2024, the median home price in Frisco was $680,000, significantly higher than the national median price of $417,000, according to the National Association of Realtors. “It’s a little more expensive than other areas but it’s justified by the new development and the schools,” Sethuraman says.
