    Collin County Reviews

    This county is very safe and I've enjoyed the environment considering I've lived here my entire life. The only thing that could be a little bit better is having more variety of locations closer to my home because lots of locations that are here are usually older places and not totally modernized. Overall though, it's been a safe county and I've enjoyed staying here
    Review Collin County
    I have lived in Collin County for about two years now, and it is by far the best county I have lived in! A city in Collin County was even named as the 2nd best place to live in the United States!
    Collin county has been my home for the last 13 years. It is a very safe neighborhood and my family and I feel blessed to be here. The public school system is great and convenient to all families.
