Thanks to an email from Wrayanne Wallace of Guild Mortgage, I now have a peek at how Collin County compares to the 222 other counties (ranked) in Texas. I knew the walking trails and planned open spaces (not to mention access to most sports and recreational activities), had to be a healthy bonus to moving "up North of the Metroplex". Now I have proof!
