Gated and guarded Frisco community

One of Frisco's older neighborhoods, Starwood is a luxury gated community with 24/7 security guards. The established neighborhood has always stood out in Frisco for its large custom homes, highly-rated schools and access to business and entertainment districts. "It's pretty iconic. Some athletes and movie stars would purchase homes in that area for a while," says Jay Newton, a Realtor with Ebby Halliday Realty. "Now, it's still a great spot for anyone." All the amenities and luxury means living in Starwood comes at a premium, with the median home price over $1 million. "It's very exclusive," says Kelley Liu, a Managing Partner & Broker Associate at ERA Empower.

Custom stone and brick luxury homes

Behind the gated walls of Starwood are over 900 custom homes with trees and greenery lining the neighborhood's winding streets. A sprinkle of more modest brick homes on the northern edge of the area, across Stonebrook Parkway, cost between $450,000 and $600,000. Towering custom brick homes are more common in the area and typically range from $850,000 to over a million dollars, many with some acreage. "You'll see maybe more the Mediterranean style and stucco, you know, so there's a good mixture," says Kelley Liu, a managing partner and broker associate at ERA Empower who lived in Frisco for over 15 years. "But in Texas, we're more known for our bricks than stucco." The community HOA fees run approximately $300 a month. Frisco's property tax rate is higher than in Dallas, at about 1.7%. "It's always a shock when somebody is moving here from a state where they had really low property taxes, and they move here, and they're like, oh my gosh, my taxes are 15,000 a year," Mancil says. On the eastern edges of the neighborhood is a collection of townhouses that usually cost between $400,000 and $500,000.

Dozens of restaurants and shops at The Star

Starwood is just a few miles from many of Frisco's most popular shopping and dining centers, some even within walking distance. Just off the southwestern corner of the neighborhood, Lebanon/Legacy Shopping Mall is anchored by a Market Street grocery store. Shoppers can stop at Jenny's Donut, known for its sweet treats and kolaches. A few blocks away, The Star serves as a prominent commercial hub surrounding Ford Center, the practice stadium for the Dallas Cowboys. Among the dozens of eateries is Dee's Table, a two-story restaurant and bar patrons praise for its cocktails and the cowboy burger. Across the street, Tricky Fish serves seafood favorites—receiving high marks for the fish and chips. Nearby is Stonebriar Centre, an expansive shopping mall with department stores, a food court and dozens of shops. The mall even has KidZania, where children get an immersive experience in a play-city environment. "They can pretend to be a pilot, they can dress up and be a chef, the kids can just spend hours in there," Liu says.

Access to Dallas North Tollway

Frisco is home to several major headquarters, including the PGA of America and T-Mobile, so Starwood's proximity to highways is a major perk for commuters. The neighborhood is nestled between three prominent roadways — Legacy Drive, Dallas North Tollway and Lebanon Road — and Dallas is about 30 miles south. High traffic is common during peak hours. DFW International Airport, the second largest airport in the country, is a 20-mile drive. Frisco is also home to several hospitals and medical facilities, including Baylor Scott and White Medical Center, less than 2 miles from Starwood.

Celebrate the holidays with Light Up Starwood

The Starwood neighborhood is known for its community gatherings, including cookouts, children's playdates, and holiday celebrations. One of the most notable is Light Up Starwood, a Christmastime celebration with horse-drawn carriage rides and festive lights.

Moderate risk of hail and tornadoes

Starwood's CAP Index crime score is 5 out of 10, slightly above the national average of 4. Larceny is the highest rated offense, receiving an 8 out of 10. Starwood's location in North Texas makes it prone to hail, thunderstorms and tornadoes. While rare, the area can also see snow and freezing temperatures. "I've lived all over and experienced all kinds of weather, and when it freezes here, just stay where you are," Newton says.
