Murphy is a diamond in the midst of the rapidly growing northeast Dallas corridor and is one of the fastest growing communities in one of the fastest growing counties in the nation - Collin County. Murphy’s 5.3 square miles is located between the cities of Richardson, Plano, Sachse, Wylie and Parker Texas. The city's population has more than quadrupled since the 2000 US Census, and it has become home to high income, young professionals seeking to escape the fast paced life of its larger urban neighbors.
With the advantages of a newer city such as recent streets and water/sewer infrastructure, the city is primed for retail and commercial growth. Continuously being named as one of the best cities in the Dallas/Forth Worth Metroplex to live in by D Magazine, Murphy with its excellent location has become a popular target for controlled residential and commercial growth with reasonably priced commercial land and large residential lots.
