Frisco is great for families, and it provides a range of opportunities for enjoying nature, culture, and sports. Here are some of the top reasons why Frisco is perfect for families. Here are seven reasons to move to Frisco.

FAMILY-FRIENDLY VIBE

SAFETY AND SECURITY

Texas boasts an array of cities, but Frisco consistently ranks highly on lists of the safest cities in the state. With so many places in Texas, that’s an impressive feat. USA Today has even ranked Frisco as Texas’s second-safest city, and as the 14th overall safest city in the entire United States. So, you can rest assured you’re moving to a place that will have you and your family feeling safe and secure in your new home..

EXCELLENT EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES

When you’re looking for a new place to live, you’re likely thinking about the educational needs of your kids both immediately and years into the future. Fortunately, Frisco boasts countless opportunities for kids’ academic growth. Educational institutions are committed to student individuality, striving to get to know each and every student by name.

OPPORTUNITIES FOR FUN — AND FOOD!

While Frisco has a great reputation for academic excellence, it certainly doesn’t skimp on the possibilities of having fun. Kids and adults alike will find plenty of ways to explore their interests and have fun in Frisco.

The City of Frisco has nearly 50 parks, totaling more than 1,300 acres. Parks are open from sunrise to sunset, so it’s easy to find time for everything from sports to solo exercise to outdoor playtime with the kids.

• Beavers Bend Park boasts a 1.2-mile trail along with picnic tables, a pond, and a playground.

ONE LAST WORD: FOOTBALL

Football fans, rejoice. Frisco is an epicenter of football fans, and you’ll find opportunities for kids right up to professional football here. Let’s start with The Ford Center at The Star, Frisco’s very own multi-purpose, 12,000-seat indoor stadium.

This is not just the spot where you can find the Dallas Cowboys football operations and practice fields. The Dallas Cowboys also share the state-of-the-art facility with the City of Frisco and the Frisco Independent School District. In other words, if you’re looking to move to a town where other folks love football as much as your family does, you’ll want to have Frisco at the very top of your list. There you have it,  Frisco’s top reasons why you should move to Frisco!
