Well-connected to golfing, shopping and the Dallas Metroplex

There are a lot of reasons to love Willow Bend. Locals list its proximity to shopping, easy access to nearby highways, and the beloved Gleneagles Country Club as reasons for settling in this west Plano neighborhood. “It’s simple, it’s beautiful, very pretty, surrounded by the golf courses,” says Kimberly Woodard, a Plano local who lives in Willow Bend and works as a Realtor for Ebby Halliday Realtors. “When you drive over to this area, it’s a very beautiful part of our city. It makes it an area where when people buy here, they stay here, they don’t want to move.” As one of the more expensive parts of the metro, Willow Bend specializes in luxury housing for residents who want to stay connected to the entire Metroplex.
