The Colony Texas ranks 15th in Best Dallas Suburbs ratings by D Magazine published July 2010. The Colony ranks better than all it's surrounding cities including Frisco 19th; Little Elm 29th; McKinney 24th; Lewisville 34th; Carrollton 40th; and Plano 18th. The Colony's rank of 15th may not be in the top 10 but considering there are 62 Suburbs being ranked, The Colony TX ranks as a really good place to call home.
The 62 Suburb ranking is based on four factors: safety 25%, education 25%, housing values 25%, and ambiance 25%. The first three measures involve data and objective analysis. The fourth "ambiance" is of course subjective and having 34 miles of Lewisville Lake shoreline was certainly a factor.

If they just ranked the "Housing Values" section for all 62 suburbs, I wonder where The Colony would place? The Colony TX real estate market is comparatively stable but so is much of the DFW Metroplex. Obviously for The Colony to rank 15th overall, it must have scored well on the housing values section.
SoldOnTheColony.com provides in depth Real Estate Market data for The Colony but there is no way for me to compare it to all the other suburbs.
