Plano is an upbeat, safe Dallas suburb with walkable neighborhoods, a booming dining and craft‑brew scene, Legacy West shopping and restaurants, plenty of parks and trails, and lots of furnished short‑term housing — great for multi‑week assignments where you want variety and convenience.
Downtown Dallas is about 20–30 minutes away, Frisco’s sports and entertainment district is just north, and greater Fort Worth is reachable for weekend trips, so you’ll have big‑city museums, pro sports and outdoor options within easy reach.
