University Park, TX
University Park takes its name directly from Southern Methodist University, whose main campus sits almost entirely within the small town's borders — a genuinely unusual arrangement in which a private university's campus occupies a substantial share of the land area of the independent municipality surrounding it. Like its twin town Highland Park, University Park incorporated as its own independent city specifically to remain outside Dallas's municipal boundaries even as the larger city grew to completely surround both towns, and the two together form the "Park Cities," sharing a combined school district, the Highland Park Independent School District, despite each maintaining separate city governments. SMU's campus brings a genuine college-town element to University Park's identity, with the university's Meadows Museum housing one of the most significant collections of Spanish art outside of Spain itself, and campus events and athletics drawing visitors into the town well beyond its own roughly 25,000 residents. University Park's combination of hosting a major private university's entire main campus, shared independent-city status alongside Highland Park, and a top-ranked shared school district has made it one of the most academically and architecturally distinctive small towns anywhere in the Dallas metropolitan area.
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.
