Plano has spent decades building a reputation as one of the top corporate relocation destinations in the country, and 2026 only reinforced it — AT&T announced it’s building its new global headquarters on Legacy Drive, joining a corridor that already includes Toyota Motor North America, Liberty Mutual, and JPMorgan Chase. For relocation buyers, that means a mature, largely built-out city with more than 210,000 jobs inside city limits, top-rated Plano ISD schools, and neighborhoods ranging from walkable Legacy West condos to quiet, established family subdivisions. Astra Realty helps you sort through those options against your commute and budget, whether you’re browsing our current homes for sale or narrowing in on a specific neighborhood near your new office.

Plano is the ninth most populous city in Texas, with roughly 290,000 residents and a growth pattern that looks very different from the fast-expanding suburbs further out — it’s a mature, largely built-out city rather than one adding new subdivisions every year. What hasn’t slowed down is corporate demand: Plano is home to three Fortune 1000 company headquarters and remains one of the most active corporate relocation markets in North Texas, with over 210,000 jobs located inside the city itself. Locals split the city into two halves along US-75 (Central Expressway), and the difference matters for relocation buyers deciding where to land.
West Plano (ZIP codes 75024 and 75093) is newer, generally higher-priced, and sits closest to the Dallas North Tollway and the Legacy West corporate corridor. Neighborhoods like Willow Bend offer established, golf-course-adjacent living with some of the city’s top-rated schools, while Shoal Creek and Kings Ridge put you within a short drive of the Legacy West and Legacy office campuses. Living directly inside Legacy West itself means walkable condos and luxury apartments, generally starting in the $600,000s for ownership, in exchange for stepping outside your front door into restaurants, retail, and your office. East Plano, on the other side of US-75, includes historic Downtown Plano’s brick streets and direct access to the DART Red and Orange light-rail lines — a real option for relocation buyers who want to commute into Dallas without driving, generally at a more accessible price point than the west side.
If you’re weighing Plano against a nearby option, we also work regularly in Frisco, McKinney, and Prosper, and can walk you through how each compares on commute, price, and school zoning for your specific situation.
Corporate relocations to Plano often run on someone else’s calendar — a job start date, a company-managed relocation package, or a lease ending on a fixed day in another state. Astra Realty builds your home search around that reality from the first conversation, so you’re not choosing between the right house and the right timeline.
We also handle the coordination that a relocating buyer can’t always manage remotely: scheduling inspections efficiently around your travel dates, keeping communication clear if a corporate relocation package or third-party relocation company is involved, and managing paperwork so your closing lines up with your actual move date rather than working against it.
"Karen Cleveland at Astra Realty made our home buying experience seamless! She was incredibly timely in answering our questions and offered helpful guidance throughout the home buying process. It was great to get to know her as a person as well as a realtor. We can’t say enough about how happy we are that we went with Karen and Astra Realty!"
"Dyan was our realtor and she was amazing! We got our dream home and she was willing to work lots of extra incentives from the buyer. We also got our house for 15k less than asking price👀 All in all, we would totally recommend her to anyone searching for a realtor. We will be using her again if we ever buy again in the future. Thank you Dyan!"
"Leslie Remy is without a doubt the best realtor I have ever worked with. She is dedicated, enthusiastic, friendly, knowledgeable and an expert in her field. Thanks to her great skill set, we got a full asking price offer on our house in six days (in a market where most homes are sitting for 40 to 50 days)."
Plano’s relationship with corporate relocation goes back to the 1980s, when Ross Perot’s Electronic Data Systems first put the city on the map as a business hub — the same site is now where AT&T is building the new global headquarters it announced in 2026. Since then, Plano has added Toyota Motor North America, Liberty Mutual, JPMorgan Chase, Capital One, and Frito-Lay, along with newer arrivals like Fisher Investments, which relocated its headquarters from Washington State in 2023 and now employs around 1,700 people in the city. It’s a big reason Dallas-Fort Worth has led the nation in corporate headquarters relocations for seven years running, and Plano has captured more of that activity than almost anywhere else in the region.
That concentration of employers is exactly why we work with a steady stream of corporate transferees alongside first-time buyers and investors relocating into Plano. Our team, led by broker Leslie Remy, stays current on which neighborhoods sit closest to which corporate campuses, since for a relocating employee, commute time to a specific office often matters as much as the house itself.
Relocating into an established market like Plano means competing for well-located homes near top schools and short commutes, often against other relocating buyers on similar timelines. Astra Realty helps you move decisively when a home genuinely fits, and patiently everywhere else, so a compressed relocation timeline doesn’t turn into pressure to settle.
Whether you’re negotiating a purchase against multiple offers, comparing a Legacy West condo to a single-family home further from the office, or reviewing a contract while still living out of state, our negotiation experience and current Plano market knowledge keep the process working in your favor from first visit to closing.
We start with a conversation to understand your goals, timeline, and priorities.

West Plano is generally newer and higher-priced, closest to the Dallas North Tollway and the Legacy West corporate corridor. East Plano includes historic Downtown Plano and offers direct access to DART light rail, typically at a more accessible price point.
Nearly all of Plano is served by Plano ISD, one of the highest-rated school districts in Texas. We help relocating families confirm the exact campus zoning for any address.
