Plano, Texas, most affluent city in the U.S. of A.

— The annual report on income and poverty from the Census Bureau, released on Tuesday, found that Plano is the most affluent city in the U.S.

This seems incomprehensible but among cities with populations of 250,000 or more, Plano had the highest income and lowest poverty rate, with a median income in 2007 of $84,492, up 10% from 2006.

San Jose came in with a median income of $76,963; Detroit was the poorest, with a median household income of $28,097.

Congrats to Plano. However, a flaw with the 250,000 - OR MORE beauty contest is that Plano happens to be just a hair past 250,000.

It enjoys the early and disproportionate influx on high incomes earners to make it one of the nations fastest growth cities. Yet, it is not quite large enough to take on the burdens of a mature city. At 4x larger than Plano, I'll take San Jose, Ca any day over Plano. But, this is a nice pageant award.

Using the CNN cost of living comparison calculator, I get 85000$ in San Jose (about the median cited) being worth only about 52,300$ in Plano. To have the same "affluence level" as Plano, the San Jose median would have to be about 138,000$.

....as pointed out by my "affluent" friend who lives in Plano who happens to be really good at math.

Because Plano has no Soul, is void and lacks imagination.

The irony, Lisa, is that the person who wrote that question is actually a Plano resident herself.

I'm a resident myself, and I'm pretty sure I have a soul, am not void and have a decent imagination. Pretty harsh generalization there, Lisa.

I moved to Plano the late nineties because it was convenient to my place of employement, and so that my children could attend "good schools". I don't live there anymore simply because it's not convenient, but I must say, I miss some things about living there - like: low crime, city-sponsored recycling, a clean sam's club (as opposed to the really nasty one on samuel ave. that is closest to me now)... not to mention the house, the likes of which I will never be able to afford in Lakewood. It seems that the definition of "affluence" has to do with "bang-for-your-buck" - that doesn't seem so bad to me :-)

It is also a fact that Plano ranks VERY very high in churches per capita so maybe that accounts for the lack of soul ;-)

Lake Highlands is as affordable if not more than many parts of Plano. Seedy? That's pretty relative since I'm not sure any part of DFW is immune to break-ins, burglaries and rapes.

What gives Lake Highlands any more soul than Plano? They're both a bunch of houses smashed together to me. Until you're in or right around downtown it all feels like suburbia.

And I don't think Scott said anything about immunity, but I think if you compared stats between Lake Highlands and equivalently priced areas of Plano you might be surprised. /shrug

Go easy on Murphy. We've got our own angles there. Plano, Richardson, Wylie, Sachse, Garland and Parker have us surrounded. We don't need anymore help. I am convinced that there are few neighborhoods with "soul". Brett nailed it. Anything north of Bush is a sea of shingles. Top two things to do in the metroplex...shop and eat. Top two things people don't do in the metroplex...know their neighbors and get involved in the town they live in. Take a chance, walk next door and ask your neighbor what you can do for them. Now that takes some soul.

What's so bad about East Plano? If Plano has any "soul" it resides in the older East Plano. Apparently, soul takes time to mature. Homes need to be re-sold several times and commercial space need to be on their 3rd or 4th different business venture to have any soul. The brand new west side Plano is completely void of soul.

And about Murphy, it should be a nice town when they finish building it. Check back in ten years

East Plano has some character and I really enjoy the Downtown. So much so, that we produce theater down there. You have a 50% chance of running into me on a weekend night, actually. Nice shops. Nice little Farmers' Market. Nice coupla pubs.

Oh, I mean "NO, it's awful down there... terrible... you'd hate it. Don't go there."

Downtown is considered east Plano?

Anyways, speaking of being neighborly, it kills me on the inside that Highland Park has devolved so much. My grandparents have one of the last original homes from original development in their area, and I remember going to the annual block party when I was a kid. Pretty sure they stopped the block party long ago and their new neighbors (who tore down other original houses to build McMansions) are disgusted that a one-story house still exists on their street.

Plano had a little soul back when there was one high school and they beat HP at Texas Stadium. Then the white flight continued and it became a monster of slab houses and composition roofs on the prairie with teens in 1,500 member high school classes.

They all ran away from poor people so why is it a surprise the poverty rate is so low? It's also no suprise that they send their poor to Parkland Hospital but refuse to pick up the tab. Why would they? The corporation will probably transfer them soon and it's on to Cary, Rancho Cucamonga, Peachtree City or Naperville. Very few people up there have generations of family invested as is the case in my area - that's how you develop 'soul'.

Meanwhile the cancer of urban sprawl and white flight will continue as "West" Plano's 29,000 apartment units start to be overcrowded with low-income people, causing the current (or temporary) residents to move farther north or back to the gentrifying city.

It's nice to simplify and generalize and Plano has it's faults, but it also has poverty and need and people doing a lot to combat it. If there is grain, there is chaff. You didn't get left holding the bag. Plano was poor with phenomenally low grades when your "white flight" began and that didn't just vanish in a puff of wishful thinking. People are working every minute of every day on it.

Wasn't addressing soul per se, just the original question of affordable areas in Dallas similar to Plano.

But if you want to get into it, Lake Highlands is minutes from White Rock Lake, arguably the greatest recreational spot in the entire city. It's minutes to Greenville, Lakewood and Uptown or wherever you want to eat at some great unique restaurants. We're not trapped in chain restaurant hell, unlike Plano.

Or you can just hang out in Plano and pretend nothing in Dallas is affordable and it's all crime ridden. Whatevs.

Lake Highlands homes are not only significantly higher priced per SF compared to similar sized homes I'm considering in south Plano, they're much older...meaning I'd likely have to drop a lot more in maintenance costs.

Friend of mine here at work just moved over there a couple of months ago and is already bitching about how much he's sunk into repairing/replacing basically the everything (flooring, wiring, some plumbing). He initially tried convincing me to look in same area but has since conceded that overall headache of an older home with a higher mortgage may not be worth the location.

I certainly dig the neighborhood, but not all that hassle. Also, I work in Richardson, so my commute doesn't factor in much...location would simply be for play.

To each his own.

Considering I live in Lake Highlands and work in South Plano I pretty much call BS that homes are significantly priced higher per sf, but it's your money so do with it what you please.

Many homes here are 130k to 150k for 1600 to 2000 sq ft. I know full well that compares reasonably with Plano.

Again, it's not my money so go for it. Just make sure you know what you're talking about before you rule an area out.

Don't know of any specific sites, ScoD. In that prices range you are going to buy an older home no matter where you are looking. They aren't building many new homes in Plano anymore. Mine was built in 1973. 2000 sq ft for 150k. I haven't had much in the way of repair costs, just general improvements that you have to make in most houses. Part of the cost of home ownership. There's no way around it.

In all actuality, you generally have fewer foundation issues in LH because a lot of the soil here has a deep rock base (hence the name White Rock) which is a bit more stable than what you might find in Plano.

Plus, many of the homes older than that will have pier and beam structures which are far less likely to have problems than cheap slabs that are now the norm in the burbs (unfortunately, mine is a slab).

The area of Dallas north and east of the lake is very diverse. Lots of pockets of 250k and up and plenty that are 130k, 150k and 180k. It just depends on what you want. To me, the biggest selling points are being close to the lake and also that many people are moving back to the city and away from the burbs which means your long term home appreciation tends to be a bit stronger within the 635 loop.

But like Alex said, I can't say I live in East Plano so what do I know!?

Lots of pier and beam foundations is definitely a plus of Lake Highlands. I wouldn't mind improvements nearly as much if I could get the place for $150k or less.

This will be my first home, and I'm pretty damn frugal when it comes to fluctuating cost of anything...so I'm probably looking at ~1,600 SF for a lower energy bill (and less space in general to maintain, lol).

Also, ready access to Lower Greenville would support my inevitable drinking habit. Might be your neighbor when my lease is up. Please contain your excitement.

I totally with you ScoD. I am a bit conservative when it comes to buying a house. I want to carry a really small loan to mitigate risk and prefer a higher efficiency, smaller home to a gargantuan McMansion. Matter of fact, I've already promised myself my next house will be smaller than 2000 sq ft. I just don't NEED the space. Fortunately, my house is uber efficient so my electricity bill is stupid low.

James Scott Verified

I guess it all depends on what you're looking for. I was able to get my house in (Southwest Lake Highlands?...I have no idea) for about $79 sqft about 4 years ago, it is an older home, but any money I've put into it has been purely cosmetic, besides a new air-conditioner to replace the 20+ yr old one. All of which is stuff I would have done on any home > 20 yrs old. Ours just happens to be 50 yrs old, and is in pretty good shape all things considered.

Add to it being in a neighborhood with huge trees everywhere, and being less than a couple minutes from the lake and the rail, it's been a great place to live.

But like was said earlier, to each his own. But like xdav says (in summary), don't knock it till you try it - take a look at some of the homes here and their prices and you might be surprised. It's not like the M Streets or anything.

Mature neighborhoods also have the bonus of houses not looking identical to each other.

I think a majority of areas in LH don't have strong HOA's so dues are optional or don't exist and you're not beholden to any nonsense requirements like not being able to park a Ford truck in front of your house.

When I lived in Plano I would drive to the same locations you drive to from your just-like-the-suburbs neighborhood in Dallas... I don't really understand why you feel like you're a part of something or have it better off if you're still getting in your car and driving over to Uptown or Lower Greenville. Like Doyle (if I were interested in buying a house in DFW), I'd go look around downtown Plano for a house if I were looking. At least a few bars/restaurants within walking distance, along with the DART rail - for the win. To each their own.

And so it's additionally clear, I do genuinely feel that being close to a major recreational location like WRL that I can run/bike to any time I want does give LH a legitimate advantage over Plano and differentiates the area from the burbs.

That's just the official neighborhood association. And yes, that is pretty pricey. Mostly 250k and up and one of the best views in the entire city. There are tons of NA but the area I showed above is considered traditional Lake Highlands boundaries. Within those are tons of NA. The area below NW Highway and between the lake and over to Garland Rd. is considered Old Lake Highlands from a boundary perspective. As you move south, that area gets into what's considered East Dallas.
