LeeAnne Locken may have thrown a little shade Plano’s way on Monday night, but we’re here to set the record straight: Plano can, in fact, be pretty cool. Or, at the very least, a house in Plano can be so cool that a certain D Home editor took it upon herself to find two more equally beguiling suburban abodes to serve up to you, dear reader. Maybe the next time somebody says, “It’s a little Plano in here,” you’ll want to know where exactly the “here” in question is, so you can get yourself there stat.
(Maybe not! But we’re moving forward with this roundup anyway.)

Why It Looks Cool: Why doesn’t this house look cool? The outdoor pool has a shark mosaic and penguin figurines, but that’s kind of adorable. The stairwell is oddly carpeted, but you can fix that. And sure, maybe the vibrant 80s-style décor isn’t your cup of tea, but you can just spend the money you saved buying a home in Plano on a decorator. Please keep the penguins, though.
