Plano and Willow Bend

Plano is a large, established Collin County city north of Dallas, and its west side, from Willow Bend and Gleneagles to Deerfield, Kings Ridge and the Legacy area, holds most of its higher-priced neighborhoods. The Agency Dallas represents buyers and sellers across Plano, with a particular focus on West Plano and Willow Bend. This page answers the questions we hear most about Plano and Willow Bend homes and real estate, and each figure is tied to a named public source.

This guide is part of our North Texas coverage, which compares 2026 median home prices across 11 North Texas markets.

Where is Plano, and where is West Plano?

Plano sits directly north of Dallas and Richardson, mostly in Collin County, with Frisco to the north and Allen to the northeast. The U.S. Census Bureau measures the city at 71.69 square miles of land and estimated its population at 290,190 as of July 1, 2023, up from 285,494 in the 2020 Census. "West Plano" has no official boundary; it is often used for the neighborhoods west of Coit Road, where Wikipedia places Jasper and Shepton, the two campuses that feed Plano West Senior High. Willow Bend sits along the Dallas North Tollway in ZIP 75093, and Deerfield and Kings Ridge sit farther north and west near the Legacy area in ZIP 75024.

Is the Plano market a buyer's or seller's market right now?

Citywide, Plano leans toward buyers in 2026, while the top West Plano ZIP has held up better. Community Impact's monthly reports show the Plano median below its 2025 level in April, May, July and August 2026. Sales volume has been uneven: Community Impact reported 188 sales in August 2026, down from 253 a year earlier, then 209 in September 2026, up from 197, citing MetroTex data. In ZIP 75093, Redfin's 10.3% year-over-year gain in the September median suggests that well-located Willow Bend and West Plano homes are still finding buyers, so pricing from the closest recent sales on your street matters more than citywide averages.

What are the main neighborhoods in West Plano?

West Plano is a set of distinct neighborhoods, each with its own age, lot size and school assignment. These are the ones we are asked about most:

• Willow Bend. Developed in the late 1980s on the former grounds of the Willow Bend Polo and Hunt Club, per D Magazine; about 2,851 homes per Homes.com; near the Shops at Willow Bend.
• Gleneagles. Homes around Gleneagles Country Club, which was established in 1985 and has two 18-hole courses, the King's and the Queen's, per Country Club Magazine.
• Deerfield. About 2,600 homes in northwest Plano between the Legacy Trail and Preston Ridge Trail, per Homes.com, with assignments in Plano ISD or Frisco ISD depending on the street.
• Kings Ridge. A master-planned community of about 832 homes in west Plano, with ponds, trails and greenbelts; zoned to Lewisville ISD (Hicks Elementary, Arbor Creek Middle and Hebron High), per Homes.com and recent MLS listings.
• Legacy area. Homes near Legacy West and the Shops at Legacy, where The Dallas Morning News reported a 255-acre, $3 billion development anchored by corporate campuses.

Is Willow Bend a good place to buy a house?

Willow Bend is a good fit if you want a larger lot, an established tree canopy and quick access to the Dallas North Tollway. D Magazine described the homes as mostly two-story brick in French country and English Tudor styles on lots averaging about one-third acre. Homes.com reports a median lot of 11,325 square feet and a median year built of 1994, so many homes are now at the age where kitchens, baths and systems have been or will need to be updated. Homes.com lists Plano ISD campuses including Centennial Elementary, Renner Middle, Shepton High and Plano West Senior High for the area.

What schools serve Plano and Willow Bend?

Plano ISD serves most of the city, but some homes on the western and northern edges fall into Frisco ISD or Lewisville ISD, according to JVM Lending's Plano ISD guide (updated May 2026). Plano ISD splits high school into two stages: grades 9 and 10 at a high school, then grades 11 and 12 at one of three senior high schools. Wikipedia notes that Plano West Senior High draws from Jasper and Shepton, the two grade 9 and 10 campuses west of Coit Road. Lewisville ISD lists Plano among the communities it serves, and recent MLS listings in Kings Ridge show Hicks Elementary, Arbor Creek Middle and Hebron High, all Lewisville ISD campuses. Because the line can fall mid-neighborhood, confirm the district for every address.

What are property taxes like in Plano?

For a Plano address in Plano ISD, the combined 2025 rate was about $1.71 per $100 of taxable value before exemptions. That adds the City of Plano ($0.4376, adopted September 2025 per Community Impact), Plano ISD ($1.03955 for 2025-26 per the Murphy Monitor), Collin County ($0.149343) and Collin College ($0.08122), both per Community Impact. For 2026, the city proposed keeping $0.4376, Plano ISD proposed $1.03275, Collin College held its rate, and Collin County raised its rate. Homes in Frisco ISD or Lewisville ISD have different school rates, so check the exact entities and exemptions with the Collin Central Appraisal District.

What is the Legacy area, and why does it matter for home values?

Legacy is the corporate and mixed-use district in far west Plano along the Dallas North Tollway and Sam Rayburn Tollway. The Dallas Morning News reported in 2016 that Legacy West was a 255-acre, $3 billion development, with Toyota moving its North American headquarters to Plano and JPMorgan Chase and Liberty Mutual building campuses there. That concentration of employers is one reason Deerfield, Kings Ridge and nearby neighborhoods draw buyers relocating for work. If you are moving to the area for a job at Legacy, a home within a short drive of the toll roads is usually worth prioritizing.

How long is the commute from Plano?

The Census Bureau puts the average commute for Plano workers at 25.6 minutes for 2019 to 2023. The Dallas North Tollway runs north and south along the west side through Willow Bend and Legacy, the President George Bush Turnpike crosses the south side, and U.S. 75 runs along the east side toward downtown Dallas. From West Plano, that tollway access is the main draw for anyone commuting to Dallas, Frisco or the Legacy employers.
