Grant’s direct answer
Yes. Grant includes The Star/Frisco in the first comparison set for many recent graduates working in West Plano. It can offer newer apartments, restaurants, entertainment, and a social mixed-use environment while keeping the employee relatively close to northern corporate offices. The exact commute still depends on the workplace, and HomeBase compares value, management, apartment quality, and the renter’s preferred lifestyle. The Star is especially useful as a contrast to Legacy West because it lets a renter see two northern lifestyle options before deciding whether a farther-south Dallas neighborhood is worth the extra commute.
