The Houston suburbs of Pearland (10th), League City (18th) and Sugar Land (71st) made the the top 100 list, while overall, DFW suburbs took high spots: Allen led the nation with its first-place spot, followed by Frisco (4th), McKinney(6th), Flower Mound (8th) with Plano (No. 23), Lewisville (No. 33), Carrollton (No. 45), and Grand Prairie (No. 49) jumping on to the list shortly after.
