Deerfield: North Plano Living With Legacy at Your Doorstep

About Deerfield

Deerfield feels like that pocket of west Plano where you can keep a quiet, neighborhood rhythm while still being minutes from the coffee-and-dinner buzz around Legacy. On a typical weekday morning, it’s easy to picture residents grabbing a quick cup at The Alley about a mile away before heading out, or timing a grocery run around Sprouts Farmers Market and Tom Thumb roughly a mile and a half from home. With ZIP code 75024 covering a large, active part of the city, Deerfield sits in the middle of a well-used everyday map that includes quick errands at Walmart Supercenter and bigger shopping runs that land near H-E-B.

What anchors Deerfield in real daily life is how naturally it connects to Plano ISD’s campus network nearby. HAUN EL sits just 0.3 miles away and carries an A rating, so school drop-offs don’t have to be a production. As kids get older, the path stays straightforward with Robinson Middle and Jasper H S both about 1.2 miles away, and both also earning A ratings. That proximity matters in a neighborhood where schedules can be packed and where households often plan their weeks around school activities, practices, and the reliable routines that come with established campuses.

The broader 75024 area reads like a high-achievement, high-mobility part of Plano, and you feel that in the neighborhood’s day-to-day choices. With a median household income of $117,088 and a college-educated share of 72.3% holding a bachelor’s degree or higher, the local conversation tends to revolve around schools, commutes, and the best place to meet friends after work. It’s also an area where working from home is common, with 33.6% of residents doing so, which helps explain why mid-morning coffee lines and lunchtime takeout can feel busy even on weekdays.

Housing in this part of Plano tends to track the area’s pricing strength, and in 75024 the median home value sits at $598,600. Deerfield draws people who want that north Plano blend of established residential streets and immediate access to the Legacy corridor’s restaurants and nightlife—close enough for a spontaneous night out at places like CRÚ or Bottle Rockets, but far enough that home still feels like a true neighborhood when the evening winds down.

What Deerfield does have is the kind of environment that typically supports a strong safety culture: a neighborhood tied closely to school routines like HAUN EL, Robinson Middle, and Jasper H S, plus nearby civic infrastructure including the City of Frisco police resource about 2.6 miles away and the Frisco Police Department around 4.1 miles away. In practice, areas with active school communities and lots of daytime activity from work-from-home households often develop strong “eyes on the street” habits and informal neighbor check-ins.

How are the schools in Deerfield?

Deerfield is closely connected to Plano ISD, and several top-rated campuses sit very close to home. HAUN EL is about 0.3 miles away and rated A, which is a real advantage for elementary families. For older students, Robinson Middle and Jasper H S are both about 1.2 miles away, and both hold A ratings as well.

Because of Deerfield’s location near the city line, several A-rated Frisco ISD schools like Riddle El and Fowler Middle are also nearby when families are comparing programs and proximity.

What is the cost of living in Deerfield?

A big piece of the Deerfield cost picture is property tax, especially in Collin County. Using the provided estimated rates, the City of Plano property tax rate is $0.4376 per $100 of valuation, Collin County is $0.1493 per $100, and Plano ISD is $1.0395 per $100. Combined, that’s an estimated $1.6265 per $100 valuation, which is important to factor into monthly payment planning alongside purchase price in an area where the median home value in 75024 is $598,600. Cost-of-living indices like the BEA Regional Price Parity (where 100 equals the U.S. average) weren’t provided here, so I can’t accurately break down overall prices versus the national average for housing, goods, or utilities. Generally, for the Plano area, housing tends to be a larger share of the budget than in many parts of Texas, while day-to-day goods can feel closer to typical metro pricing. One consistent advantage in Texas is that residents don’t pay state income tax, which can help offset higher housing and property-tax carrying costs depending on your income and household budget.

Deerfield works well for families largely because school routines are so manageable here. HAUN EL is only 0.3 miles away and rated A, and Robinson Middle and Jasper H S are both about 1.2 miles away with A ratings, so the school day doesn’t require long cross-town drives.
