Why you'd want to live in Anna

Something that I hear residents say that they love about Anna is that they can still see the stars at night,” says Perkins. Unlike other cities in Collin County, Anna is far enough away from Dallas and the Metroplex to still be “close to nature while being within 10 to 12 miles of the big city,” says Perkins. Anna also does not have any big box stores, but has many local businesses that allow the community to maintain its small town charm. Business activity is thriving and vibrant with over 60 new retail stores and restaurants opening since 2009. Despite the growth, Anna has managed to retain its small town values, open vistas, and friendly atmosphere. via CCAR
