A tranquil Richardson suburb near parks, trails and amenities
Surrounded by the park it’s named after, Richardson’s Crowley Park offers a tranquil suburban experience with access to the great outdoors and amenities. Four miles from Downtown Plano and north of Garland, the northeast Texas community is close to parks, nature preserves and an extensive trail network. And the city of Richardson makes a point to dot the entire area with thousands of wildflowers, an annual tradition for over 30 years. “There are a lot of mature trees and landscaping and amazing parks,” Drew Burges, Realtor for Keller Williams Realty Dallas-Preston Road and native Texan, who has served the area for over 12 years. “It’s a beautiful area.” Proximity to several highways provides access to amenities and the rest of the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. “It’s very conveniently located,” says Burgess. “You’ve got Plano schools, which are great; you’re close to shopping and dining; you’re right between major highways that get you to Dallas easily. You’re getting the best of all worlds.” Crowley Park also has a strong sense of community, with an established neighborhood association that unites restaurants with celebrations and neighborhood projects.
