We moved to Frisco in Oct 91. Small, quiet and family friendly. We moved away in Sept 17 as our kids both graduated from Lone Star. Taxes were too high, a new high school sat empty, traffic became intolerable and the city became another concrete jungle. We moved to a small town with trees and land. We gave up high end restaurants and shopping for peace and quiet not to mention more quality time at home with family.
Moved to Frisco in 1999 from Myrtle Beach, SC when Preston was still a 2 lane road and there was only one high school. 423 where Frisco Ranch is, was just beautiful prairie. In the 8 years we lived there, it went from this great little north TX town to a materialistic mecca. In mid 2007, we moved back to SC. I would say we were better off financially in Frisco, as SC ranks pretty low as far as wages, and my house is nothing compared to the one I had in TX, but I am so happy we got out of there when we did. We did not want to raise our girls there. And I dont live in a concrete, cookie cutter neighborhood. Instead I have 2 huge 100+ year old live oak trees in my yard. Funny thing is, both of our neighbors moved from TX. One from McKinney and the other from near Dallas.
My Rogers, Brooks and Teel Family came to Frisco, Texas and Collin County in the Early 1800's.
