By Tom Branch, on February 27th, 2011 We’ve had a number of inquiries about townhomes and condos for lease in Plano, Texas.
While a suburb on the north side of Dallas, Plano is the ninth largest city in the State of Texas with a population of about 260 thousand people. Plano is home to many corporations and has plenty of dining, shopping, and recreational activities.
Plano has easy access to the rest of the Dallas Fort Worth Metroplex using the North Dallas Tollway on the west side, the President George Bush Turnpike on the south side, the Sam Rayburn Tollway on the north side, and Central Expressway on the east side. DART’s Red Line offers light rail access to much of the greater Dallas area.
Rental and lease homes are plentiful. However, townhomes and condominiums are in limited supply.
Townhomes and condos began to be built in Plano over the last decade and are concentrated on the northwest side of the city although there has been some new construction in the old part of Plano near DART’s Downtown Plano Station.

By Tom Branch, on February 27th, 2011 We’ve been following this project ever since the sign went up on the 32 acres in west Allen.

We noted that Ashton Woods launched the project website over the weekend. According to the website:
“Ideally situated in Allen, Texas, the master plan for The Preserve in Allen will feature a large centralized lake with fountain offering homeowners waterfront and water view home sites. Residents will enjoy a meandering hike & bike trail that surrounds the water feature. This enclave of 104 front entry home sites is thoughtfully designed around nature. Large mature trees encompass the development with a detailed landscape plan that includes an additional 300 trees and over 11 acres of open space.”
The website URL is www.thepreserveinallen.com. The website contains little information and will be updated as the project continues. We will post updates here as new information becomes available.

By Gina Branch, on February 25th, 2011 Good news for David Weekley fans. The home builder will be coming to the master planned community of Village Park in March, 2011. Residents enjoy the community pool, walking trails, and the exemplary Allen Independent School District. David Weekley is America’s largest privately held home builder, and their homes are often recognized by the covered porches we enjoy so much in Texas.
Village Park is just north of the Sam Rayburn Tollway (Highway 121) and borders Allen, Texas with easy access to I-75 and the Dallas North Tollway. Nearby retail and dining include historic downtown McKinney, The Shops at Fairview, and the Allen Outlet Mall.

By Tom Branch, on February 25th, 2011 I recently was speaking with a potential client. She owns a condo in the area and was planning on selling it. She was worried that the title company that had issued the title policy had “insured around” a lien.
 Base Photo Licensed from ShutterStock I’d never heard of it so I placed a call to Renee Graham with Preston Title in Plano, Texas. Renee has been around “forever” and is my “go to” person for title related questions.
“Insuring Around” occurs when a lien is found on the title work, the lien holder cannot be found, and the title company believes the lien has been or should have been released. Basically, they can decide to insure the title and even though the lien cannot be released, they agree to insure the policy holder against any claims brought by that lien holder. Renee told me that this is not often done because the title company assumes all the risk. On a subsequent sale, the title company issuing the new title policy will hold the original title company liable for any future claims.
While “Insuring Around” is not common, it is acceptable and the policy holder and future policy holders are insured against claims brought by the “insured around” lien holder.

By Gina Branch, on February 21st, 2011 Don’t we all have horses and oil wells? With the Super Bowl recently held in Dallas, I was unfortunately reminded about the rest of the nation’s stereotypical view of Texans – a bunch of ignorant, uneducated, backwoods heathens who ride horses and pump black gold from their back forty. We all wear boots and cowboy hats. We kill our own food and shoot anybody who trespasses on our farms and ranches.
While you may find a few Texans who fit that mold, I bet pickins would be slim. Texas is home to three of the 10 largest cities in the nation and has become a true melting pot of cultures from around the world. Many companies move their corporate headquarters to Texas for the temperate climate, central location, and affordable housing prices – not to mention the friendly natives. The Texas economy continues to outperform the rest of the country, so we must be doing something more than barrel racing and roping calves here.
I pulled into a retail center parking lot in west Plano on a recent Saturday afternoon and here’s what I saw – a row of Ferraris, Lamborghinis, Porsches, and even a Ford GT. I didn’t find one horse hitched to a wooden post outside the trendy new restaurant. Rather, ponies of a different kind were anxiously waiting under the hoods to be set free along the Dallas North Tollway.
My point is the Dallas Metroplex has a lot to offer – culture, international cuisine, the Symphony, leading corporations, top entertainment, and major league sports. Even a New York City writer covering the Super Bowl commented on the “surprising quality” of dining choices in Dallas. That writer probably doesn’t know that Dallas has more restaurants per capita than New York City.
All said Texas does have a history rich in cowboy culture. It’s part of who we are, but is certainly not all we have to offer. And if you ever want to visit a snapshot of that stereotypical Texas heritage, Fort Worth is just down the road a piece. We Texans are a proud bunch, so whatever your opinion of the south, don’t mess with Texas!
