This Dallas Suburb Is One of the Top Relocation Destinations in U.S.

More than 500,000 people moved to North Texas from 2020-2023 according to a recent report. It’s a safe bet that a large portion of those movers told their friends and family they were “moving to Dallas,” even though it's highly likely the relocators were settling in one of the growing suburbs surrounding Big D.

That’s why it's of little surprise to find that Frisco has found itself near the top of the list of most popular suburbs for people to relocate to. According to a study from MoveBuddha.com, a moving resource website, Frisco is the fifth most desired suburb to move to, just behind Vancouver, Washington, near Portland, Oregon.

“When they want a place to call home, many Americans head outside the inner city beltways into quieter suburbs,” the MoveBuddha report states. “In fact, according to our 2025 moving survey, one-third of Americans want to live in a suburban environment this year.”

In order to arrive at their findings, MoveBuddha mined data from its own Moving Cost Calculator to determine which suburbs Americans are actively planning to move to this year. According to the study, the ‘burbs on the list “have the highest ratio of searches for moves in-to-out of cities across their metro area (and excluding the metro’s primary city).”

With a “move-in-to-out ratio” of 1.82 Frisco was way ahead of the other Texas cities on the list. Way down at No. 18, Georgetown, north of Austin has a 1.46 ratio and Conroe, just outside of Houston, has a 1.45 ratio to come in at No. 19 on the list.


MoveBuddha says Frisco stood out in its findings as a popular city “to move-to and with high-valued real estate.”

Frisco reportedly grew faster than any other city over 50,000 population in the U.S. during the decade from 2010-2019 according to a Census Bureau report in 2020. KERA reported at the time that Frisco “topped 200,000 people in 2019, up from 117,000 in 2010. That’s a 71% growth rate over the past decade.”

If you’ve been paying attention to which school districts have been rapidly growing in North Texas, seeing Frisco high on such a list isn’t a surprise. Even with a number of corporate hubs moving to Frisco and its immediate environs, it was recently named as the city with the second largest remote workforce in the U.S.

MoveBuddha says that Frisco symbolizes the bigger city it's not too far from.

“Frisco, TX mirrors Dallas’ explosive urban and economic growth,” the report notes. “With a 1.82 move ratio and 1,001% annual growth (2022–2023), it’s now a business hub within a business hub, hosting everything from the Dallas Cowboys headquarters to FIFA’s 2026 World Cup.”
