Parker is home to large ranches seen in “Dallas,” 7 miles from Plano
If you ever watched the opening credits of the 1970s hit television series “Dallas” and wished you could live in the same neighborhood as the Ewing family, your wish can come true in Parker. This small city in Collin County is home to several large ranches, including Southfork Ranch, which was used to shoot exterior scenes of the iconic TV drama and is as green and picturesque today as it was during the series’ heyday. However, you don’t have to be as wealthy as the Ewings to live in Parker; the city boasts charming single-family homes with lots of land in a range of price points.
Beautiful homes, highly rated schools, and lots of land draw homebuyers to Parker.

Large, modern homes draw from Tudor, Colonial and French architecture
Those homes are primarily large, custom builds with elegant brick facades and stonework. Most are new two-story builds from the 2000s and 2010s in architectural styles, including Colonial, Tudor and French Provincial. If you're looking for something more retro, you can also find traditional single-level ranch-style homes from the 1970s, with low-pitched roofs and big, front-facing windows. Lot sizes are large, many boasting an acre or more of space, so front and back yards are roomy, and many homeowners opt to include pools, barns and stables on their properties. Leafy green trees are abundant, dotting front yards, as is shrubbery and other local flora. The residential streets that wind through each subdivision are wide and provide an optimal place for bike riding or walking with friends. Prices range from $450,000 to $4.2 million, with a median single family price of $1.4 million.
Large Colonial-style homes stand proudly in Parker, blending traditional charm with modern comfort.

City Park and Preserve is a natural greenspace with a lot of wildlife
While Parker's residents have plenty of space in their neighborhoods to get outside in the fresh air, when they want a more traditional park experience, they often head to City Park and Preserve. Located in the city’s center, this sprawling green space is surrounded by tall, mature trees and is the place to be when you want to get one with nature. Take the mile-long, sun-dappled trail that snakes through the park, and you'll find the bubbling waters of Maxwell Creek and the quiet preserve where you might catch a glimpse of some of its wildlife inhabitants like birds, armadillos, rabbits, skunks and squirrels.
Beautiful ponds are scattered throughout Parker’s neighborhoods, creating serene spots for outdoor enjoyment.

While there, you can grab lunch at familiar favorite restaurants Chipotle, Wendy’s or Taco Bell.
