Richardson sits directly north of Dallas along US 75, and the stretch of office campuses flanking that highway has carried the Telecom Corridor name since the early 1990s. Four DART Red Line stations serve the city, including CityLine at the Bush Turnpike, and the University of Texas at Dallas campus is inside the city limits. Most residential streets date to the 1950s through the 1970s, with newer townhome and mid-rise construction concentrated near the rail stations. The city is split between Richardson ISD and Plano ISD.
Richardson sits in Dallas County, where the combined property tax rate runs about 2.15 percent of market value for the 2025 tax year, ranging 1.95 to 2.60 percent depending on the school district. On a $350,000 home with a homestead exemption that works out to roughly $505 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 Richardson home actually costs to hold.
