## Verdict
Strong backup. Becomes #1 if a unicorn 4/3/3-car shows up under $700k AND Stephanie’s pharma route gets re-routed off DFW.

Pros: Most ‘house per dollar’ of the four backup-eligible zones — $682k buys 2,810 sqft; Allen HS scale is unmatched for elective breadth (think: 30+ AP courses, 100+ clubs); Effective property tax ~2.0%.
Cons: Allen HS at 7,000 students is genuinely massive — some kids thrive, some drown. Stephanie’s 7-year-old won’t hit it for 6 years; can re-evaluate; Stephanie’s airport commute is worse than West Plano; Less ‘destination’ branding than Plano or Frisco — slight resale drag.
