The hottest submarkets + why
The growth is historic and concentrated:
- ✓Celina was the No. 1 fastest-growing U.S. city in 2025 (+24.6% to 64,427 residents); of the 15 fastest-growing U.S. cities, six are DFW suburbs - Celina, Princeton, Melissa, Anna, Forney, Greenville (Census Vintage 2025).
- ✓The growth corridor runs north along US-380 and the Dallas North Tollway through Collin and Denton counties (Celina, Prosper, Princeton, Anna, Melissa) plus Northlake and Aubrey.
- ✓The driver is affordability + new supply: the typical Princeton home is valued ~$325,000 vs $500,000+ in McKinney and $685,000 in Frisco (Zillow, 2025).
