This summer, North Texas is welcoming one of the most exciting developments in the entire country. Universal Kids Resort is officially opening its first-ever theme park built specifically for families with young children. Located right in the growth corridor of Frisco, Texas, at the northeast corner of the Dallas North Tollway and Panther Creek Parkway, this massive project sits inside Fields—a 2,500-acre, $10 billion master-planned community taking North Dallas by storm.


If you are raising young kids and trying to figure out the best place to live in North Texas, here is a breakdown of the top neighborhood options across a wide range of budgets.




Where Should You Live Near the Action?


The city of Frisco has planned ahead with a dedicated tollway exit to move resort traffic seamlessly without disrupting surrounding streets. If you want to live right next to the magic, the master-planned communities inside Fields Frisco offer unique lifestyles for every budget:


  • East Village (The Walkable Choice): Designed with an urban-suburban flair, this neighborhood features tighter layouts, higher energy, and complete walkability. You can leave the car behind and take a golf cart, bike, or walk directly to the park or nearby shops.
  • Pricing: Townhomes start in the $500s; single-family homes range from the $700s to $900s with all the upgrades.
  • Brookside (The Traditional Family Haven): Tied directly to the top-tier Frisco ISD, Brookside features a future on-site elementary school within walking distance. It offers a classic residential environment with seamless trail connectivity.
  • Pricing: $700k to $1.2M in Brookside South; $1.3M to $2M in Brookside North.
  • The Preserve (The Ultra-Luxury Gated Enclave): A 100% custom-home gated community offering complete privacy and pristine views of the two championship Fields Ranch PGA Golf Courses.
  • Pricing: Minimum entry point sits around $4 million.


What about shopping? Right across the highway from the theme park, Fields West is currently under construction (Phase 1 opens 2027). Think of Plano's ultra-popular Legacy West but on massive steroids—a $2 billion retail and dining powerhouse right in your backyard.




Best Established Neighborhoods for Value & Short-Term Rentals


Because the HOAs inside Fields restrict or outright ban short-term rentals, real estate investors looking to capitalize on the massive tourist influx should look right across the street. These established neighborhoods offer an "old-school Frisco feel" with traditional red-brick architecture and a significantly lower price-per-square-foot:


  • Panther Creek Estates
  • The Dominion at Panther Creek
  • Creekside at Preston
  • Estates at Cobb Hill
  • Knolls of Frisco
  • Christy Ranch


Pricing here ranges from the $400s to $800s. Purchasing a 4-to-5-bedroom layout in these surrounding areas will place you in high demand for families traveling to the area.




Is Now the Time to Buy?


Absolutely. Right now is a unique window in the market for buyers to secure excellent concessions before the grand opening brings a fresh wave of demand. On average, our relocation team negotiates $50,000 in total concessions for our clients, helping cover closing costs and rate buy-downs.
