When Lisa Stokes' family moved to West Plano in 1981, there were only about 10 houses in the area. She grew up watching open fields become one of the most sought-after communities in North Texas, and after college, she came right back.

"I've lived in West Plano now for 45 years," says Stokes, a Global Real Estate Advisor with Briggs Freeman Sotheby's International Realty. "What keeps me here is the same thing that draws families today: excellent schools, beautiful established neighborhoods with custom homes, and a strong sense of community. It was a wonderful place to grow up and raise a family, and it will always be home for me."
