Frisco, TX
Frisco was, for much of the 2010s and early 2020s, consistently ranked among the fastest-growing cities in the entire United States, expanding from a population of roughly 6,000 in 1990 to well over 220,000 by the 2020s — a growth rate driven substantially by large-scale planned corporate and residential development on what had previously been mostly farmland north of Dallas. The Star, a 91-acre mixed-use development that opened in 2016, houses the Dallas Cowboys' corporate headquarters and practice facility alongside retail, restaurants, and a Baylor Scott & White sports medicine and orthopedic center, giving Frisco a direct and highly visible connection to one of the most valuable sports franchises in the world. The city also became home to the PGA of America's national headquarters, relocated from Florida in the early 2020s as part of a broader development that includes two new golf courses and clubhouse facilities, cementing Frisco's identity as a genuine hub for professional sports organizations well beyond just the Cowboys' presence. Frisco's combination of an exceptionally rapid, sustained growth trajectory and its emergence as a genuine home base for major professional sports organizations has made it one of the most closely watched examples nationally of a small Texas farm town transforming into a significant suburban city within a single generation.
VS
McKinney, TX
McKinney's historic downtown square, built around its 1927 Collin County courthouse, has preserved a dense cluster of early-20th-century brick commercial buildings that now house restaurants, boutiques, and galleries — a walkable town center that's stood in deliberate contrast to the newer, car-oriented commercial development that's grown up around the city as the broader Dallas metro area has expanded northward. Money magazine named McKinney the number one "Best Place to Live in America" in 2014, a national ranking that brought the city significant attention and that local officials and real estate agents have continued to cite as validation of the city's combination of historic charm, strong schools, and comparatively affordable housing relative to closer-in Dallas suburbs. The city has grown rapidly over the past two decades even while working to preserve its historic square, expanding from roughly 55,000 residents in 2000 to well over 200,000 by the mid-2020s, making it one of the larger cities in the broader Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex despite still being commonly described as a "small town" because of its preserved historic core. McKinney's combination of a genuinely well-preserved historic downtown square, a nationally recognized "best place to live" ranking, and rapid population growth managed alongside historic preservation has made it one of the more frequently cited success stories among Dallas-area suburbs balancing growth against small-town character.
