Prices, neighborhoods, schools, commute and property taxes for 2026
Frisco is one of the fastest-growing cities in North Texas, home to the PGA of America, the Dallas Cowboys' headquarters at The Star, and about 250,000 people. Melissa Avara Realty Group helps buyers and sellers across Frisco, from established golf neighborhoods to the new Fields development. Numbers below are current as of fall 2026.
The median sale price in Frisco was $675,000 in August 2026, down about 5% from a year earlier, based on NTREIS MLS data compiled by the Texas Real Estate Research Center. Nearly half of Frisco sales land between $400,000 and $700,000, and about one in five sell above $1 million.
Over the last 12 months, about 47% of Frisco sales were between $400,000 and $700,000, 25% were between $700,000 and $1 million, and 19% were above $1 million (Redfin sales data). Under $500,000, buyers usually look at townhomes (median near $480,000), Frisco Lakes for 55+ buyers, and older resales.
Frisco had about five months of inventory in August 2026, homes took a median of 56 days to sell, and they closed at about 94% of list price. It is a balanced market that leans toward buyers.
It depends on budget and how close you want to be to the Dallas North Tollway. The Trails, Panther Creek and Grayhawk are established mid-market areas. Starwood, Phillips Creek Ranch and Newman Village are upper-end. Fields is the newest luxury master plan, and Frisco Lakes by Del Webb is 55+.
Frisco fits buyers who want a short drive to the Legacy and Dallas North Tollway job corridor, newer homes, and big-city amenities like The Star, PGA Frisco and Universal Kids Resort. It is a strong choice for corporate relocations and for 55+ buyers who want Frisco Lakes.
Frisco costs more than McKinney, Plano or Celina, so the question is whether the commute and amenities are worth the premium. WalletHub ranked Frisco the No. 1 real estate market in the U.S. for 2026, with McKinney No. 2. Relocating for work? Start with the relocation guide.
From central Frisco, plan on about 10 minutes to Legacy West in Plano and 35 minutes to downtown Dallas or DFW Airport without traffic. Rush hour on the Dallas North Tollway and SH 121 adds time. West Frisco and the Fields area add 5 to 10 minutes.
Frisco is not a DART member, so there is no commuter rail in the city. The nearest train is DART's Silver Line in Plano, which runs to DFW Airport.
At a typical Frisco ISD address on the Collin County side, the combined rate is about 1.68% of taxable value for 2026. The Denton County side runs about 1.63%, and Prosper ISD sections like Fields run about 1.86%. Homeowners subtract a $140,000 school homestead exemption.
The City of Frisco kept its rate flat at $0.4255 per $100 for 2026, and Frisco ISD kept its rate at $1.0194. Some newer communities add MUD or PID assessments on top, so check by address. Compare all five cities in the property tax guide.
Most of Frisco is in Frisco ISD. The northern strip near US 380, including much of Fields, is in Prosper ISD, and the far west side, including Frisco Lakes, is in Little Elm ISD. Confirm the district by address.
Niche ranks Frisco No. 8 of 416 Texas suburbs for public schools in 2026.
Frisco buyers have more negotiating room than they've had in years, so there's no need to grab the first house you see. Let's tour a few, compare what you get for your money, and negotiate from there. If you work near Legacy or want to be close to The Star, Frisco is worth it. If what you really want is more space and a newer home, I'll show you McKinney and Celina side by side so you can see the difference for yourself.
