Allen Real Estate

With an easy commute to Dallas, Plano, McKinney and Frisco, residents have plenty of job opportunities, especially due to some of today’s major corporations’ headquarters located within the region including Frito-Lay, JCPenney and Country Wide Financial. Because of this, residents can work in the big city and return home at the end of the day to a small town community.

 

Allen offers countless recreational and leisure opportunities for every resident to take pleasure in. The nearby Lavon, Lewisville and Fork lakes provide for wonderful fishing, boating and camping adventures that the whole family can enjoy. Home to 30-plus parks and recreation centers, and the Arnold Palmer 18-hole championship golf course at Twin Creeks, Allen is perfect for those with the most active of lifestyles as well as those who enjoy a slower pace. Other leisure fun includes endless shopping at the Allen Outlet, Collin Creek, Fire Wheel and Stonebriar malls. An additional shopping center that is currently under construction will feature many major retailers and restaurants.

 

Nearby attractions include the American Airlines Center, which is home to the Dallas Mavericks and the Dallas Stars, Rangers Ballpark and the Texas Stadium, which currently houses the Dallas Cowboys. At these and several other venues in the area, family and friends can cheer on their beloved teams.

 

Serving over 15,000 students, the Allen Independent School District has a strong reputation for education as it has exceeded area and state averages on the new Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS). Faculty and staff work together with students and parents to provide an optimal learning environment so each individual can acquire the basic skills and abilities that will allow them to become successful citizens later in life.
