Living in Frisco
Frisco is a typical American city in Texas. It has everything an expatriate would expect, from shopping malls and sports stadiums, to restaurants and fantastic parks. In fact, since 2003, Frisco has been designated the ‘Tree City’ by the National Arbor Day Foundation for its commitment to environmental improvement. If shopping and eating out is of interest, the historic downtown area of Frisco Square and Main Street will be a treat for any expat living in Frisco. With a multitude of shops and dining experiences, the area holds regular events as well. For expatriates living in Frisco who are interested in art, the Texas Sculpture Garden will be worth a visit; four acres of parkland with a significant number of sculptures surrounded by lakes, fountains and landscaping. Expats living in Frisco can find other expatriates to socialize with by using the InterNations platform with its forums, discussion groups and private message system.

Moving to Frisco
Frisco City is a rapidly growing suburb of Dallas, close to the Fort Worth International Airport, with major highways running north to south and east to west. It has actually been one of the fastest growing cities in the United States since the turn of the century, in part due to large suburban developments housing professionals commuting to the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. Not only is Frisco a growing city, it’s also a great place for expatriates to live in. In 2011, CNN listed Frisco as one of the ‘Best Places to Live’ in the whole of the United States and Forbes ranked it the seventh best ‘Place to Move to’, so expatriates moving to Frisco can rest assured that they’re in a great city. Expats moving to Frisco can find essential information on things like apartments and living abroad by connecting with other expats in the city on the discussion groups and forums at InterNations.
Working in Frisco
There is a strong retail economy in Frisco with a number of shopping centers as well as large individual stores. For this reason, Frisco has a slightly different economic situation than some other cities. A fractional percentage of local sales tax goes to fund the Frisco Economic Development Corporation (FEDC) to aid commercial ventures. And a number of big corporations call Frisco home as well. Whether relocating to Frisco for work or other reasons, expats can find vital information on everything from visas to jobs by networking with other expatriates in Frisco on the InterNations website. The Expat Magazine, InterNations’ comprehensive collection of expatriation-related articles, also features pieces written by other expats on their experiences of living and working abroad.
