I currently reside in Murphy, Texas and the living/lifestyle is overall fairly good! Great environment for raising a family with things to do. Very peaceful
The city of murphy is very small, but tight-knit. All of the residents are friendly, which makes it easier to build relationships with people and interact with neighbors! Also, Murphy hosts many fun events during the year such as Maize Days, which is a mini fair! Everyone comes out to city hall and central park to eat, play carnival games, and fellowship with other people while listening to some great music! However, the only thing I could change about Murphy is the inclusivity of minority groups. I am an African-American male, but I also identify myself as a gay male in the community. Sometimes the lack of representation by different groups is devastating, such as the overpowering white dominance in town meetings and the town newspaper. This allows all decisions or influences to be biased. I understand that people cannot change immediately, but if I could bring awareness to my hometown by addressing the lack of inclusiveness, I know I can make a difference for future generations.
Having lived across the DFW area for the last 10 years, I honestly believe Murphy should be in the top 3 places to lives, raise a family, best schools, etc. in Texas. Housing market is excellent and of the fastest trending up in the US. All the top grocery and department stores are all in Murphy. It's near Plano, Richardson, Allen, Wylie... Excellent schools, great people, diversity, restaurants, and so much more.
