Plano Reviews
Rating 4.12 out of 5 931 reviews
Moving from a smaller town in the midwest, to Plano, Texas has been one of the best decisions that I've made so far. The people here in Plano are so diverse, and so hospitable! I've encountered so many people in public who have been so warm and welcoming; it's honestly a culture shock. I would also say that, overall, the city of Plano is fairly clean and safe. In the previous town that I lived in, potholes were rampant, and the roads needed servicing. As mind-boggling as this may sound, I have not encountered a pothole yet (my car thanks me)! Living in Texas has been quite the joy, and there's an abundance of amazing towns and cities; however, Plano has it's own je ne sais quoi that makes it stand out. Plano truly is a city for everyone!
Plano is a great area for those who want to be nearby enough to downtown Dallas without actually living IN downtown Dallas. Almost everything is very easily accessible and its just a short drive to get to all of the fun in the Dallas area. The downtown Plano has a small city-life feel, and I think it's absolutely adorable. I highly recommend this area if you like the city!
Plano is a remarkably average city that you probably could have guessed as it literally has the word plain in the name! Despite this, I have called Plano home now for 18 years and love it dearly. I have been all over the world from seeing the Eiffel tower in Paris, all the way to the mighty Great Wall of China, but nothing quite beats familiarity and more important home. The thing I cherish most about Plano is the many walking trails that it houses and I have made some unforgettable memories with both friends and families and strangers alike, all thanks to Plano.
