Finding time to work out with a 1 year old is diffucult, but Frisco offers a great solution. The Frisco Athletic Center offers memebers free daycare for up to 2 hours a day. Not only is it convenient, but my son loves it. They have lots of toys, TVs, and a great staff. Once your kids reach 8, they move from the Fun Club to the Zone.

After living in beautiful Downtown Dallas for 4 years, I am moving to the burbs. We thought we would stay here longer, but crawling baby does not go well with 2 flights of stairs. We just put an offer in for a house in Frisco. All the sports, family entertainment, shopping, and food makes Frisco a perfect place to raise a family. We will also have a large lot with a garden and fruit trees. My little boy will be able to walk to all his schools. Although Frisco does not have much culture or art, the new Dallas Art District will be just a short drive on the Tollway. Time to start packing.
Today, I searched for “green real estate in Dallas” on Google. Only 318,000 results should up, but when I replaced Dallas with Chicago, LA or New York, over 3 million results were found, and almost 5 million for LA. We are currently the fastest growing city and the 4th largest in the nation. Why is Dallas so behind when it comes to green living? Do we not care as much as the rest of the nation? No, this is due to a lack of education. All home owners should know the different systems in their house and what effect they have on water and energy usage and their health.
Although Frisco is one of the few cities in the nation to implement green building standards, many people living there are unaware of this. Even the builders do not discuss the energy efficient features added to each home with the buyers until asked. Frisco should be proud of the efforts made and publicize the benefits of green construction.
While the demand for green homes is increasing in other parts of the nation, Dallas remains unaware of the importance of simple changes in construction which can greatly reduce energy consumption, like extra insulation or a radiant barrier. Green living not only helps the environment but reduce your bills and improves our health. As a whole, we need more education and awareness to catch up with other cities.
