Allen is a medium-sized city in Collin County just north of Dallas, Texas, and it's one of the fastest-growing communities in the state. It's far enough away from the Metroplex to provide a comfortable, small-town environment yet close enough to take advantage of everything the big city has to offer. Homes are available at a wide range of prices, and the city is well-planned for growth. The city of Allen is known for its pro-business climate, but it might be best known for its high school stadium, a $60M structure that is undergoing repairs in 2014.
The Allen area was previously home to the&nbsp;Caddo,&nbsp;Comanche, and other indigenous peoples. The first immigrants from the United States and Europe arrived in the early 1840s.&nbsp;The town was established by the Houston and Central Texas Railroad and named in 1872 for&nbsp;Ebenezer Allen, a state politician and railroad promoter.&nbsp;The railroad allowed sale of crops across the country before they rotted, causing a shift from the previous cattle-based agriculture. On February 22, 1878,&nbsp;a gang led by&nbsp;Sam Bass&nbsp;committed in Allen what is said to be Texas's first train robbery.
From 1908 through 1948, Allen was a stop along the Texas Traction Company's&nbsp;interurban&nbsp;line from&nbsp;Denison&nbsp;to Dallas. Allen was a small town of a few hundred residents when it was incorporated in 1953. Since this time, it has grown dramatically due to the construction of&nbsp;U.S. Route 75, the&nbsp;Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport, and the development of nearby Dallas and Plano.&nbsp;Among the more recent developments is the Waterford Parks neighborhood.

Celina is a small town (pop. 6,028) in both Collin and Denton counties in north Texas, but it's a town on the move having grown by more than 200 percent the past decade and a half. Nevertheless, Celina is a community that maintains all its country charm, located on state Highway 289 and Farm Road 455, 15 miles northwest of McKinney and 12 miles north of Frisco. Celina is a hotbed of residential development, too, with many middle- to upper-scale homes from which to pick.

Dallas is the epicenter of the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex and one of the business and cultural hubs in all the United States. In just the past 20 years, Dallas has been the scene of explosive growth in upper-scale lofts, apartments and condominiums, catering to upwardly mobile young professionals who crave access to art, culture, great food and entertainment. Dallas is home to some of the best public schools in the nation as well as to the NBA's Dallas Mavericks and the NHL's Dallas Stars.

Dallas

Frisco is a booming city, part of the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex, and the fastest-growing city in the country as of 2009, according to U.S. Census bureau data. From an old town area to golf course lots and country homes on acreage, to resale and new construction by nationally known home builders, there is a multitude of housing styles and price ranges available. Frisco is also home to Major League Soccer's FC Dallas and will soon be the headquarters for the NFL's Dallas Cowboys.

Frisco

McKinney has been one of the fastest-growing cities in the country over the past 15 years. The county seat of Collin County is about a half-hour to the north of Dallas and is a community that offers everything from great golfing to hiking, biking and much more. Homes surround the city's numerous lakes and golf courses. There are plenty of middle- to upper-tier homes from which to choose, and the city was recognized in September 2012 by CNN's Money magazine has being the second-best place to live in the United States.

McKinney

Plano is a key part of the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex and home to at least a dozen major corporate headquarters from Frito-Lay to J. C. Penney and Toyota Motors USA. Three times Plano has been recognized as the best place to live in the western United States, and Forbes deemed it the safest city in America in both 2010 and 2011. Prospective residents often seek out Plano homes due to its fabulous public school system. Plano homes for sale usually do not last long because of their high demand and their tasteful designs.

Plano

Prosper is -- as its name might suggest -- a prosperous upscale suburb in Collin and Denton counties, north of the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. Beautiful upper-scale homes are built in the area, but it's far away enough from the big city to maintain its country characteristics. You'll love the view of beautiful farms, ranches and the natural beauty that make Prosper perfect for country living.

The Colony derives its name from the original Peters Colony. The Peters Colony headquarters was located within the current boundaries of The Colony in the historical community of Stewartsville and the site of the Hedgcoxe War.The Colony is also the site of Bridges Settlement (established during the years of the Republic of Texas and the oldest community in Denton County), Stewarts Creek, Rector, Stoverville and Camey, also known as Camey Spur.
The Colony did not exist before 1973, when home developers Fox and Jacobs (since purchased by Centex) purchased 3,000 acres of land located around State Highway 121 and Farm to Market Road 423. The name "The Colony" was chosen by Fox and Jacobs because they wanted its new development to share a sense of kinship with Texas' early history and "to create a living monument to the spirit and courage of the Peters Colonists ... those men and women who braved considerable hardships to begin new lives, in new homes, on new land."&nbsp; They planned the development to be a new "dream city" consisting primarily of single-family homes grouped as a "colony" and based on the city of Dallas' infrastructure specifications, In 1973, Fox and Jacobs negotiated an agreement with the city of Frisco to begin construction in its extraterritorial jurisdiction. In 1974, street construction began with many streets being named after early settlers and members of the construction crews. The first model homes were completed in August 1974 and the first families moved into their homes in October that year. The homes were served for water services by The Colony Municipal Utility District formed in 1974, electricity via Texas Power and Light, cable television via Lakeside CATV and telephone service via Southwestern Bell.
In 1977, the homeowners associations' petition to disannex the development from the city of Frisco's extraterritorial jurisdiction was approved. The Colony voted to become an incorporated city in January 1977 and became a Home Rule City in 1979. Residents of The Colony participated in two polls to select a name for the new city. Both polls chose the name "The Colony" and the name was ratified by the City Council in May 1977. In 1987, The Colony voted to merge with the small lakeside community of Eastvale
