Plano is already known as a city with high property values within the DFW area, but there are particularly expensive neighborhoods within it. The Willow Bend area in the west is a prime example.

Willow Bend is a region centered around the Willow Bend Golf Club, where the median home price is estimated to be between $700,000 and $1,000,000. Properties built on large lots can exceed $1,300,000.

Secondly, the area near Gleneagles Country Club can be mentioned. This golf community, known for its Scottish-style landscaping, primarily features properties in the $600,000 to $900,000 range.

The third area is the historic large home district near Old Downtown Plano. Homes built in the 1980s and 1990s remain, and prices can vary widely from $500,000 to $1,000,000 depending on whether they have been remodeled.

The background for these areas becoming affluent neighborhoods lies in the long-standing reputation of the Plano Independent School District (Plano ISD). As major corporations relocated to Plano in the 1980s and 1990s, there was an influx of high-income professionals, and the western region formed during this time continues to maintain its premium status.

The overall median home price in Plano is around $500,000, already above the Texas average, while Willow Bend forms a price range that is 40% to 80% higher, highlighting a clear disparity within the city.

Plano is considered one of the cities with the highest concentration of Koreans in the DFW area, and as such, there is consistent interest from Korean investors in living in Willow Bend or near Gleneagles. The ability to enjoy both the school district and the Korean community infrastructure is cited as the biggest advantage of this area.

Recent market trends show that the affluent neighborhoods in western Plano have limited inventory, leading to a steady accumulation of demand. If considering living or investing here, it will be important to check school district boundaries and HOA status, and to act quickly when properties become available.
