As a multiple home owner in the past, I have been very biased on purchasing a home over a townhome. Until yesterday.
I visited a Plano townhome community that definitely opened my eyes. Located near Park and the Tollroad, I had seen the signs many times driving by close to Prestonwood church. My thought was to give the community a chance and see if there were any opportunities for an investor to possibly contract on a model lease back from the builder. (more…)

It doesn’t take a million dollars. It doesn’t take 23 hours a day. It doesn’t take a lifestyle change. What are we talking about here? Giving back! I know I get caught up in the “day to day” and at times become concerned about things that are not all that grandiose. Never did I think a movie about children collecting cans for a food drive to feed the homeless or covering up graffiti on their school walls would be so incredible. I was wrong.

I know what you’re thinking. What person who has traveled and lived around the globe could possibly think a suburb would house this so called “destination restaurant?” Well, as a resident with dual citizenship (definition: living in North Dallas on the border of Plano), I can confidently tell you that Jasper’s at the flawless Shops at Legacy is said utopia! We overheard a waiter telling his table that Jasper’s really is a destination restaurant. People come from all over for one specific thing they’ve fallen in love with and they come back time and time again. This haven for “gourmet backyard cuisine” is just that destination.
Suburbia at its finest, with a historic downtown and upscale shopping.
In 2005, Plano was designated the best place to live in the Western United States by CNN Money magazine.
