Highland Park, TX
Highland Park is a fully independent municipality entirely surrounded by the city of Dallas, and it's consistently ranked among the wealthiest small towns in the entire state of Texas — a status the town has maintained since its founding in the early 20th century as a deliberately upscale, deed-restricted development built specifically to stay outside Dallas's own city limits and taxing authority. Highland Park Village, opened in 1931, is widely credited by architectural and retail historians as one of the first planned shopping centers built anywhere in the United States, designed in a unified Spanish Mediterranean style that's been preserved essentially intact for nearly a century and now houses a roster of high-end luxury retailers. The town sits directly adjacent to Southern Methodist University, and together with its twin municipality, University Park, forms what locals refer to collectively as "the Park Cities" — two small, independently governed towns that function almost as a single community despite maintaining entirely separate city governments, police departments, and school districts. Highland Park's combination of complete municipal independence from Dallas, one of the earliest planned shopping centers in American retail history, and consistently top-ranked schools has made it one of the most expensive and prestigious small-town addresses anywhere in Texas.
VS
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.
