DENTON COUNTY COMMERCIAL GROWTH
In 2000, when George W. Bush was still governor of Texas,
Little Elm was a bedroom community on the shores of Lake
Lewisville with only about 3,600 year-round residents.
Today, the Denton County town is the region’s newest big
city, surpassing 50,000 residents in newly released
population estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau.
Little Elm’s growth is in line with other North Texas cities
like Frisco and McKinney, which grew by 6% and 5% from
2017 to 2018. Frisco is one of the 15 fastest-growing cities
in the country, along with six other Texas cities.
New Braunfels took the second spot, with McKinney,
Georgetown, Rowlett, Midland and Round Rock also making
the list.
Laila Assanie, a senior business economist at the Federal
Reserve Bank of Dallas, said there are no signs the growth will
end anytime soon.
What makes Little Elm different is how small it was when
nearby suburbs began booming. Most homes, schools and
offices in the town are less than 15 years old.
The eastern side of Little Elm, which borders Frisco, has more
apartment communities and neighborhoods than the sparsely
developed northern and western corners of town.
The town’s first hotel, in its Lakefront District, is under
development.
If Little Elm can remain an attractive place to live and the
economy of North Texas keeps improving, residents hope
to turn a profit on his starter house in three to five years.
Tony Felker, president and chief executive officer of Frisco
Chamber of Commerce, remembers a time when he had to
leave Frisco to buy a pair of socks. Now the city of 188,000
has 10 high schools and nearly 80,000 jobs.
From 2017 to 2018, Frisco was the fourth-fastest-growing
city in the nation, adding 10,000 residents through birth or
migration. Since 2010, Frisco has added more than 70,000
residents — a 60% increase.
But as the city grows, some longtime residents and people
who moved to Frisco for cheap large lots are pushing back.
The Stonebriar Legacy Association of Neighborhoods
represents a group of about 5,000 residents who want to
pump the brakes on Frisco’s breakneck growth. The group
vocally opposed a plan to add more than 2,000 residential
units to Hall Office Park, where thousands of people work.
