Del Webb communities are known for their excellent amenities and Frisco Lakes is no exception.  The 28,000 square foot Amenity Center is home to a state-of-the-art fitness center with cardio equipment, free weights and strength-training equipment, an indoor swimming pool and an outdoor one as well, plus a whirlpool, a grand ballroom, an amphitheatre, a dance studio, a billiards room, a library, a restaurant, sports courts, tennis courts, an arts and crafts room and more.   The yearly HOA fee is $1,200, paid quarterly.

There is also, of course, an 18-hole golf course; this one is professionally managed by Arnold Palmer Golf Management.  There are more than 600 acres of open space, and nature trails, walking trails and bicycling paths meander throughout the community (but golf carts are allowed on Frisco Lake's streets for those who prefer motorized transportation).   A full-time activity is on staff and dozens of clubs, from theater to poker, are available to residents.

Nearly anything one needs can be found in affluent Frisco, including two nearby hospitals (Frisco Medical Center and Centennial Medical Center), but bustling Dallas is close at hand when needed.   Winters are generally mild; January temperatures average in the mid-50s, but snow and/or freezing rain appears on a handful of days.  Summers can be hot with temperatures reaching into the mid-90s.  Precipitation measures 2 to 3 inches each month.   Springs bring thunderstorms, but autumns are quiet and pleasant.
