Highly desirable and highly diverse

Bordered by parks and creeks, Los Rios offers residents a quick escape into nature while staying close to home and the hub of downtown Plano. The area is highly residential, and "there are a lot of working-class families and young professionals in the area," says Hamzah Nasser, the CEO of Haraz Coffee House. "The community is very diverse here. Nearby churches and a major mosque serve the mixed demographic, which includes Latinos, Asians, African Americans and a large Middle Eastern population." Generous home sizes, surrounding amenities and accessibility to shopping contribute to the attraction of the surrounding Plano area.

Hidden garage access via alleyways

More expensive than other neighborhoods of Plano, Los Rios boasts single-family homes that offer attached garages and pristine landscaping. A few apartment buildings and townhouses are in the neighborhood's southern end by the industrial parks. Still, most residents live in owned homes sitting in neat rows. Prices start around $300,000 and often reach the high $600,000s, though the median price is $450,000. Whether the house is a sprawling ranch or a towering contemporary build with arched windows, four bedrooms (or more) and an ornate brick façade are customary. Alleyways lead to rear-entry garages, keeping the front of the houses neat and offering residents more privacy, and inground pools are common in the small, fenced-in backyards. The residential streets of Los Rios have neat sidewalks and tall trees that provide some shade and respite from the hot summer sun.

Golf, volleyball and an active dog park

Rowlett Creek and Cottonwood Creek run through the neighborhood, creating shallow basins of dense trees accompanied by walking trails. The trails border the residential streets and lead to surrounding parks, like Bob Woodruff Park at the northwestern end of Los Rios. Locals can set up a pick-up game of soccer or football on the multi-use fields or walk along the collective 3 miles of walking trails that border the fishing pond. The park also has multiple playgrounds, an active dog park and sand volleyball courts overlooking the scenic water. Golf enthusiasts can play a round at Pecan Hollow Golf Course. The public course has five sets of tees, offering a challenging game for players of any level. A lighted driving range, five-hole short course and 14,000-square foot putting green provide plenty of practice space before teeing off.

Coffee brewing with thousand-year-old methods

Locals enjoy dining out at Casa Mama, which was voted the Best Mexican Food in Plano by Plano Magazine. This casual restaurant has a covered outdoor patio adorned with southwestern décor. Also in the neighborhood is Haraz Coffee House, rated 4.6 stars and expanding nationwide. "The coffee is organic and imported from Yemen," Nasser says. "It's brewed in a traditional method that dates back 1,500 years. While locals can get the coffee to go, it's more of the experience that sets it apart." A Kroger is in the area, making weekly grocery shopping easy. Shoppers can get to Target, Walmart, and other familiar retail stores by traveling a short distance east on East 14th Street.

A major mosque brings in some traffic

Though Los Rios is walkable, most residents rely on their cars to get to and from work as there is no public transit. Downtown Plano is a 9-minute drive west and home to many businesses that employ the residents of Los Rios. Depending on traffic, locals can drive 20 miles south to Dallas in about 40 minutes. Dallas Love Field and Dallas Fort Worth International Airport are around 30 miles away, and the nearest hospital is a short drive south. Industrial-use train tracks intersect the neighborhood's southern end, adding some noise to the otherwise quiet area. The East Plano Islamic Center, often called EPIC, is in town and brings in practicing Muslims from the major metropolitan area, contributing to occasional traffic in Los Rios.
