In North Texas, the newcomers keep coming and coming and coming.
Frisco was the nation’s fastest-growing city last year, according to U.S. Census Bureau data released Tuesday. McKinney wasn’t far behind, ranking third.
The top 25 list is studded with several other North Texas cities, including Lewisville , Fort Worth, Carrollton and Denton.
Frisco claimed the top spot among cities with more than 100,000 people, thanks to a 6.2 percent population increase during a 12-month period starting in July 2008. Its Collin County neighbor, McKinney, scored a 5.5 percent jump.
Any way you slice or dice the census data, Frisco and McKinney remain chart toppers. Over the past decade, Frisco also had the country’s biggest population growth, while McKinney ranked No. 2.

Dallas-Fort Worth grew by an estimated 25% in the past decade and now has an estimated 6.5 million residents.
NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) — The booming Dallas-Fort Worth metropolitan area added more residents during the past decade than any other city in the United States.
According to the latest Census Bureau figures, the population of the sprawling Texas metro area grew by about 1.3 million people, or 25%, between April 1, 2000, and July 1, 2009.
The population is now estimated at 6.5 million residents, but an exact count won’t be available until the 2010 census is complete.
Dallas’s attractions include a very favorable business climate, according to Mayor Tom Leppert. There’s no corporate income tax, building costs are relatively reasonable and regulations are minimal.
“It’s a great place to do business,” he said, “especially attractive for companies from high-tax states.”
Helping to drive growth is the area’s main airport, Dallas/Fort Worth International, the third busiest in the nation. Its location is far enough south to ensure good weather yet central enough to make it easy to fly to the Northeast, the Midwest and the Pacific Coast. It is also well positioned for air traffic with Latin American markets.
“Dallas has no port,” said Leppert. “The airport became a 21st century port.”
What it has lacked in the past — a vibrant downtown — is starting to develop. Recent additions include a huge new arts center, urban park, light rail system and new housing. These have bolstered the city’s density and made downtown more interesting and fun.

Landon Homes welcomes Dean Liter as the new sales manager at Austin Ridge, its brand new home community in southwest Frisco, TX. Austin Ridge is part of Lone Star Ranch, a master planned community featuring rolling hills, hike and bike trails, streams, lakes, fountains, open spaces and thousands of trees.
As a resident of Lone Star Ranch, Liter knows first hand about the terrific amenities that will be available to Austin Ridge residents. The community has a three-tiered, resort-style swimming pool with waterfalls, a large clubhouse that can be rented, and a fitness center loaded with state of the art equipment. Plus, Austin Ridge is close to the North Dallas Tollway and Highway 121, making it convenient for commuting.
Liter has a unique history with Landon Homes and its president, John Landon. Dean built his first home with John, and enjoyed the process so much, that he asked to come to work for Landon.
When asked why someone should buy a Landon home, Liter says no other builder in the area is doing what Landon does in terms of
energy efficiency. The homes in Austin Ridge feature the latest energy efficient technologies, including
thicker lumber that holds 57% more insulation than traditional homes, a radiant heat barrier to
reduce attic temperatures, and air conditioning systems that
exceed Energy Star standards. These features help to significantly
reduce the monthly utility bills for a Landon homeowner.
The first models in Austin Ridge are expected to be ready in about three months. Until then, visitors are welcome to stop by our sales trailer and view our floorplan designs and under construction inventory.
If you’d like to schedule a tour of Austin Ridge, contact Tanya Smith at 214-707-0347 or visit the website at Landonhomesusa.com for more information.

It seems like every time you turn on the news, there’s more gloom and doom coming out of Washington regarding the nation’s housing market.
It’s true that some areas of the country have been hard hit by the mortgage crisis, but that’s not the case in the Dallas/Fort Worth market.
Metrostudy housing analyst David Brown expects first quarter housing starts in the area to be up at least 50 percent from last year.
That’s good news for Texas home builders, including John Landon, whose company Landon Homes is selling homes in the North Dallas area. Landon is a visionary builder offering homes that respect both the environment and the home buyer’s budget. The company continually strives to build homes with lasting value and quality in exceptional neighborhoods.
Landon also understands families since the company is comprised of family members. Many employees and subcontractors have worked with Landon for decades and are second-generation members of its team.
With a repertoire of more than 40,000 homes, the Landon team offers an unmatched wealth of talent, expertise, and enthusiasm.
For more information, contact Tanya Smith anytime by phone at 214-707-0347 or just click on our LIVE CHAT feature throughout the Landon Homes website for speedy answers to all your new home questions.
