Leonard boasts to be the "Biggest, Little Town in Northeast Texas".  The commute to Mckinney, Anna , Melissa and points south is smooth and easy. Leonard has a large population of people who work in Dallas and points surrounding. It really is the area to look into if you want to escape the inner city feeling of the immediate Dallas suburbs.
