r/Allen

Hi everyone,

Our family is a family of 3, husband and I and a 6th grade son who loves football. We are traveling to Allen this summer to check it out and to help our son envision the move. We will be getting an Airbnb house in the area for the vacation to help him get a feel for the neighborhood.

Do you guys have any pointers how to organize our trip to really get a feel of the place? Any local parks or activities that are popular for kids his age, or football camps that are happening in the summer? I’ve been on ChatGPT all week lol but it’s hard to plan . We will be out there for two weeks and if possible would love to connect to coaches of a tackle league that is good in this neighborhood to see if we can chat with the coaches or observe practice, drop in for a private workout or something..

Essentially, we are hoping to make this vacation meaningful in a way of introducing our son to the lifestyle he would have out here. Any advice would be appreciated!!

For context, we are a mixed family I’m European, husband is Black American , the kid looks Puerto Rican : ) lol . I don’t know what Allen is politically/racially like , seems like a diverse and welcoming place on the internet, but if there is another area we should be considering , we would appreciate that insight as well.

Thanks!!

Hi! This is a long shot, but does anyone have any dashcam or any type of footage from 12:45-12:50pm on Saturday April 25, 2026 at the intersection of Greenville and Bethany?

We were rear ended and after filing, found out the driver‘s information/insurance info was fraudulent. Trying to gather any type of evidence at this point.

Thanks in advance!

is krispy kreme off mcdermott & 75 permanently closed ever since the fire?

Our roofer mentioned upgrading us from Class 3 to Class 4 shingles, but I honestly don’t really understand the difference. Is Class 4 actually worth the extra cost in Texas or is it mostly marketing and a way to increase the price?

My family and I went to Donut Palace off McDermott around 10-15 mins before they were closing, and they are stocked up. This was the same situation last Saturday as well.

While Max’s Donuts are pretty good, they get a lot of commotion and praise that these other donut stores are just as deserving of! Donut Palace is open from 5AM-12PM every day. The lady who greets you is so incredibly kind and deserves her shop to be sold out, especially on a Saturday.

Anyone have a pulse on the single dating pool for Lifetime Fitness in Allen vs Frisco?

I’m at Frisco and it tends to be more family oriented.

Hi all, our family is planning to move to Allen with our first baby on the way. We want to get a house with 5B and ideally over 4000sqft. Budget is under 800k. But we cannot move until mid of next year. Was wondering whether it’s still a sellers market here in Allen? Should we wait a little longer? TIA!
