you don't want to miss a thing today i'm talking about cities near dallas texas specifically just north of dallas so let's get started with my personal top 5 favorites list in no particular order coming in at number one is mckinney mckinney is a nice city just about 30 miles north of dallas texas it sits in collin county and is the county seat which means it has an active and vibrant downtown area that's fun for shopping or a night out on the town unique by nature is the city's catchphrase so you'll see lots of mature trees lined in the roads and tons of open areas and parks too it really is one of those picturesque cities with a small town feel to it it really does have a different small town vibe to it different than a few of the other cities around it a lot of mckinney's growth is happening on the north side of town so you have an abundant selection of either established homes or new homes to choose from mckinney does have some pretty large employers at places like raytheon globe life encore wire and traxxas just to name a few few so it really is possible to affordably live and work in the same area in mckinney as with all the cities i'm talking about today mckinney has a highly rated school district second today is frisco frisco is another great city to live in also about 30 miles north of dallas it's home to the dallas cowboys world headquarters also known as the star frisco has a bit more of an upscale trendy vibe to it with a lot of fancy restaurants and shops throughout also if you love sports frisco might just be the right place for you it's home to the

basketball team for the dallas mavericks and the dallas rattlers it's their major league lacrosse team the dallas stars practice facility is even located in frisco as well if you love sports you'll never get bored with frisco when compared to other surrounding cities frisco really does have the most options for restaurants shopping entertainment and other family fun activities the homes are a
