Forbes Magazine Ranks Collin County as a Great Place to Live

By
Home Stager with Home Star Staging

The Sunday, July 6th Dallas Morning News reports that Forbes magazine has ranked Collin County, TX one of the best places to live in the US!

According to the article, Collin County was the ONLY county in the State of Texas to make the list.

WAY TO GO COLLIN COUNTY!

To read the full article by columnist Ed Housewright (great name for a Real Estate Professional if he is one) read it here.

As a citizen of Collin County who not only lives here but works here as well, I must say I agree. While the article goes into some thoughts of others who don't live in our great county, I for one do and know the benefits we are afforded.  Having grown up and lived in Miami-Dade county for the better part of 30 years and just returned from a visit to the "urban" metropolitan city of Miami, I am so appreciative of the quality of life that Collin County has afforded my family.

We live in the multicultural, diverse City of Plano, a big city with a small town feel if you look for it. I love our area and couldn't think of a better place to call home.

As real estate professionals serving Collin County, TX we should embrace this honor and help our clients understand the value of what we too see here.

Congratulations Collin County! I'm proud to live and work here!
