#2 Little Elm, Texas

Little Elm in 2000 was a small farming town that less than 3700 people called home. As of 2008 according to the U.S Census Bureau this small Lake Side town just West of Frisco is home to nearly 25,000 residents. How does a town nearly increase its population nearly 10 fold in less that 10 years? The top answer to that question is of course Location, followed by unbeatable new housing deals, offering 100% Financing through USDA financing and of Course being one of the lowest priced Lake Side Communities in America! You can find new homes along with 4000 sq. ft foreclosure deals built within the last 10 years in Little Elm. Not to mention you are still only 30 miles from Downtown and literally right next to Frisco that has any and everything that you could ever need. Little Elm is located only 10 minutes from the Dallas North Tollway by Going West on El Dorado. You will come up to 423 than all of sudden with no warning you are in Little Elm. Drive another 10 minutes in on El Dorado you find yourself directly on Lake Lewisville. Little Elm also has a few neighborhoods scattered just south of 380 on Paloma Creek & Navo Road. The only reason this is #2 on our list is because Great Schools gave them a 6 out of 10 rating and McKinney has nearly 90,000 more people. However Little Elm due to its location and terrain truly feels like an urban oasis and in properly named Sunset Point they have the most amazing view of the setting sun I have seen in the Metroplex.
