Richardson, Texas: Innovation, Community, and Connected Living

Located just 14 miles north of Downtown Dallas along Central Expressway (U.S. 75), Richardson is one of the largest “small cities” in Texas, offering the perfect blend of suburban comfort, business opportunity, and urban access. Spanning just over 28 square miles, Richardson’s unique shape borders Dallas, Garland, Plano, Murphy, and Sachse, with portions in both Dallas and Collin Counties. The DART Red Line conveniently runs through the city, making commutes and connections easy throughout the Metroplex.

Richardson is known for its strong economy, top-rated schools, and a vibrant, diverse community. It is especially recognized for the Telecom Corridor®, a high-tech business hub that is home to major players like AT&T, Cisco Systems, Verizon, and dozens of other tech and telecom companies.

The city is also proud to be home to the University of Texas at Dallas (UTD)—a Tier One research institution and a driving force in Richardson’s continued innovation and growth. With a rich network of creeks and greenbelts—including Prairie, Spring, Duck, and Cottonwood Creeks—residents enjoy natural beauty and recreational opportunities right in their backyard.

Whether you are seeking career opportunities, educational excellence, or a well-connected, family-friendly lifestyle, Richardson delivers it all in a dynamic, community-focused setting.
