A vibrant retail community in downtown Frisco
Trendy businesses, vibrant restaurants and renovated bungalows have rejuvenated Frisco's once-forgotten Rail District. "The Rail District is an eclectic, cool, walkable neighborhood that you just don't find anywhere else in Frisco," says Matt Calloway, broker-owner of Calloway Real Estate. "It's a real downtown now, and every town needs a downtown, needs that character." Calloway is also a proud Rail District resident and community advisory board member. He explains that there was little interest in the area until about 10 years ago, when folks like him, seeking a more urban lifestyle, began to look at that part of Frisco in a different light. "It used to be just an old, ugly part of town, and nobody knew what to do with it. But I felt there was a market for people to live here," Calloway says. "Nobody would have ever dreamed that it would be like it is today. People are starting to value the downtown, and it's now one of the more expensive parts of Frisco."
You'll find several murals along Main Street in the Rail District of Frisco, TX.

Craftsman bungalows and midcentury homes in walking distance from Main Street
Buyers will find a mix of housing styles that reflect the community's long-standing presence. There are early 20th-century Craftsman-style bungalows alongside ranch-style homes from the 1950s, typically costing between $400,000 and $500,000. Buyers will also find custom new traditional brick home communities throughout the neighborhood, costing around $700,000 and contemporary farmhouse estates with acreage costing between $1 million and $6 million. Townhouse communities are an option for those seeking budget-friendly housing near the Rail District, costing around $250,000. According to Calloway, many homebuyers move to the Rail District for the walkable urban lifestyle, and that lifestyle also makes the district a prime location for short-term rentals. "Like me, many homeowners have renovated or built guest houses on their properties for short-term rentals," Calloway says. "The short-term rental market is really strong here because people want to stay in a characterful, walkable area."

Locally owned restaurants and businesses breathe fresh life into the Rail District
Most residents are within walking distance from Main Street, where they can browse the district's shops, like the Apple Boulevard Boutique, which features women's apparel. Another favorite is Storied Roots, which offers handcrafted furniture. Didi's Downtown restaurant is a go-to for comfort food and live music on the patio. "Didi's is a staple of the Rail District, and it's always packed," Calloway says. "They're crushing it. It's a great success story." Residents can also get their caffeine fix at Summer Moon Coffee or grab a pastry from La Finca. Eldorado Parkway has a Market Street, Costco and Target for groceries and other daily necessities. For retail shopping, the Stonebriar Centre is 4 miles away, and Legacy West is 6 miles away.

Dallas North Tollway
Easy access to nearby highways
The Dallas North Tollway is 2 miles from the neighborhood, offering an easy commute to downtown Dallas, about 30 miles away. Commuters can also take the tollway or Preston Road to the Sam Rayburn Tollway. This highway connects to the Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport, about 25 miles away, and downtown Fort Worth, about 45 miles away. In addition to the community's convenience to surrounding areas in the Metroplex, the Rail District's multitude of amenities are no match for the character it offers. Reflecting on his beloved neighborhood, Matt Calloway sums up the Rail District in three simple words: "It's got soul."
