allen

Allen is a medium-sized city in Collin County just north of Dallas, Texas, and it’s one of the fastest-growing communities in the state.

Homes are available at a wide range of prices, and the city is well-planned for growth. The city of Allen is known for its pro-business climate, but it might be best known for its high school stadium, a $60M structure that is undergoing repairs in 2014.
