Corridors, build era, and taxing boundaries shape what you can buy in Plano and what it costs to hold.
Plano is framed by US 75, the Dallas North Tollway, and the President George Bush Turnpike, and it is the largest city in Texas without an interstate. It is the only city on this list with DART rail, with Red Line stations open since 2002 and the Silver Line added in 2025. Most housing dates from the 1970s through the 1990s, with a later layer along the Legacy corridor in west Plano. The city is built out, so work is redevelopment and infill, with addresses in Plano, Frisco, Allen, or Lewisville ISD.
Plano sits in Collin County, where the combined property tax rate runs about 1.70 percent of market value for the 2025 tax year, ranging 1.55 to 2.30 percent depending on the school district. On a $350,000 home with a homestead exemption that works out to roughly $377 a month. The Texas homestead exemption reduces only the school district portion, not the county or city portion, which is the detail most online estimates miss.
Taxes and insurance are a large share of a monthly payment in Texas, so a national mortgage estimate will understate what a Plano home actually costs to hold.
