I was born and raised here and I really do love this city. I have always really enjoyed the sight of all the trees and natural aspects the city has implemented into its different architectural and park designs. And there are so many nice neighborhoods and market places being built! The population has been growing exponentially due to job opportunities and new housing, which is beneficial and yet also annoying due to road congestion like I've never seen before here! Despite the modifications needed to fit more residents, this city is a beautiful one, and I am blessed to live here.
I love living in Allen Texas. I am seventeen, born and raised here. I love Allen mainly for the incredible public school systems. As I have attended Allen public schools for 13 years, the academic and extracurricular opportunities are endless. Not only are the teachers very looked highly upon for their work and education experience, they are also very hard working, and are willing to work diligently to help their students understand concepts and help prepare them for not only tests, but in life in general. In addition, there is an incredible amount of programs at Allen High School. From the clinicals program, were students work in nursing homes, or the theater program, and athletics department, the opportunities are endless for its students.
Allen is an excellent city. As an Allen resident for over ten years, I have enjoyed many aspects of living in this city. Allen was named one of the safest cities in America, and other than a few coyote sightings in our neighborhood, I couldn’t agree more. I do not nor have I ever attended a public school, but I have heard great things about Allen’s public schools. Allen has many entertainment options including shopping centers, popular sit-down restaurants, luxury movie theaters, and more. There are constantly new houses available as Allen expands and becomes more well-known. However, as the city grows, the real estate market goes up, bringing up the cost of houses and apartments. However, there are more affordable housing options in older neighborhoods. Overall, my experience in Allen has been satisfactory, and I would suggest considering this city to anyone looking for a new place to call home.
