Parker Texas Lifestyle

The City of Parker has been ranked among the top suburban cities in the Dallas-Fort Worth Area by D Magazine for nearly a decade. It is located on the eastern border of Plano and renowned for its pastoral and natural beauty, sprawling acre homesites and ranches, as well as being home to the iconic Southfork Ranch - a symbol of Dallas's oil and land boom of the 1970s and 80s. Parker stands apart from other cities in the Metroplex due to its combination of convenient job centers with lush greenery and landscaping. Its population is just under 5,000, comprising Olympic gymnasts, famous artists and musicians, inventors, farmers, doctors, lawyers and C-level executives. The city has rolling hills, creeks, and trees - features uncommon in the Plano and Allen areas. Two school districts serve Parker: Plano Independent School District and Allen Independent School District. Most of the city zoning requires lot sizes of 1 acre or greater and housing prices starting in the $700k range; new builder homes begin at around $1.3M. Utilities are typically available in the city, with the exception of sanitary sewer, which is only available to those on the north side of Parker due to its proximity to North Texas Municipal Water District service. Tax rates have been traditionally very low compared to Plano and Allen, making Parker an attractive option for homebuyers.   Brian and Tracey Shuey have been selling homes in Parker for over 20 years and offer excellent real estate services for those looking to move into the area.  With its beautiful scenery, convenient location and attractive pricing, Parker is an ideal choice for those looking to buy in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.  Whether you’re a first time home buyer or a seasoned investor, Ebby Halliday Agents Brian and Tracey Shuey are here to help make your move to Parker as seamless
