Located 19 miles north of downtown Dallas on Highway 75, Plano is truly a city of its own, not merely a suburb of Dallas. A nationally recognized public school system and a host of internationally known events, such as the Plano Hot Air Balloon Festival, make this city a popular pick for taking up residence.

Plano is home to many information technology and telecommunications companies. The city is proud to be the home of the world headquarters of EDS, with 10,000 employees, JC Penney, Frito-Lay, Alcatel and PepsiCo Foods.

It has a strong retail base with the large Collin Creek Mall, Plano Market Square, the new shops at Willow Bend and more than 60 retail centers located throughout the city. The Fairview Farms Market Center offers farm-fresh produce, crafts and dining. Restaurants from fast-food franchises to full-service restaurants, tearooms and coffee shops are plentiful.

When the subject of housing arises, Plano is in a league of its own. For the past few years, the city has been in full bloom. Developers have taken advantage of the area's natural beauty and turned it into a homeowner's paradise. It has evolved into an exclusive destination for homeowners desiring the best that developers have to offer, with exclusive living, exclusive specialty shops, restaurants, parks and recreation all within easy reach.

Perhaps best known for its school system, Plano ISD has received national recognition for its outstanding system of 54 schools with an enrollment of approximately 47,239. Plano East Senior High School was recently named the Best High School in Texas for the second time by Redbook magazine. Plano Senior High School has received national recognition for giving more Advanced Placement exams than any other school in the country. Higher education is also available, with Collin County Community College and the University of Texas at Dallas. The Cox School of Business at Southern Methodist University has selected Plano as the site for the first-ever satellite campus for its program.

Plano residents demand - and get - the very best, new state of the art Children's Medical Center. Transportation needs are met utilizing the Dallas Area Rapid Transit whisks commuters downtown in about 45 minutes. Plano is an All-America City.
