It's been fun to watch urban living migrate to the suburbs. Over the past five years, we've seen a number of developments pop-up that offer urban-style living in suburban cities surrounding Dallas. 
Watters Creek, located in the southwest corner of US 75 and Bethany Road, is one of the latest urban-style developments in Collin County.
The Watters Creek website reads:
With its vertically dense design, this 52-acre project incorporates a complete mix of uses including a large creekside village green, interactive public art, a variety of retail options, restaurants featuring al fresco dining and water views, and office space and residential lofts.
Gina and I really like the area with its upscale eateries, wine bars, upper-end retail, and Market Street. We stopped into Grimaldi's Pizzeria the other evening for a couple of Blue Moon's and a pizza after spending an afternoon listing a property in Allen. Other good places to eat include The Cheesecake Factory, P F Changs, and The Village Burger Bar.
Currently the area is decorated for the Holidays with extensive lighting and seasonal activities.
