Frisco is a city located in  Collin  and  Denton  counties in  Texas . It is part of the  Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex , and is located approximately 25 minutes from the  DFW Airport  and  Dallas Love Field Airport . With major highways north-south and east-west, the city is well-positioned on the path of growth in the Dallas area.
