Glen Ridge Estates
An established Murphy subdivision with the city's characteristic larger homes
Glen Ridge Estates is an established Murphy subdivision of conventional suburban single-family housing. Murphy built out largely in the 2000s with homes that are noticeably larger than those in the neighboring cities of the same vintage, and that housing quality, along with a Plano ISD assignment for much of the city, is what sets its prices apart from Wylie and Sachse next door.
Price Range
Roughly $450K – $700K depending on plan and condition, around Murphy's median sale price of about $584,650 (Redfin, May 2026) and its ACS 2024 5-year median home value of about $556K.

How Glen Ridge Estates trades
Murphy's price premium over its immediate neighbors rests on two things: bigger houses and, for much of the city, a Plano ISD assignment. A buyer comparing Murphy against Wylie should therefore compare square footage and the actual campus rather than the headline medians, because that is where the difference genuinely lives.
