Market Your US‑75 Access: A Commuter‑Friendly Listing

If your home sits near US-75, you already own one of the most valuable features a Sherman or Denison property can offer: easy, predictable access for daily driving. Many buyers here balance local jobs with regional trips to Collin County and Dallas, and they watch commute time closely. In this guide, you’ll learn how to present your highway access with clear facts, buyer-focused benefits, and transparent construction updates that build trust. Let’s dive in.

Why US-75 access matters

US-75 is the primary north–south freeway through Sherman and Denison, connecting Grayson County to the Dallas metroplex. A multi-phase improvement program is underway to rebuild main lanes, enhance frontage roads, and improve safety. You can point buyers to the official summary of the US-75 improvement project for context and status.

Access matters because it shortens door-to-desk time for regional commuters and simplifies first and last miles for shift workers. Typical non-peak estimates put the drive to downtown Dallas around 60 to 75 minutes and the drive to McKinney around 30 to 40 minutes. At the same time, many residents work locally, and Grayson County’s average travel time to work is in the mid-20-minute range, according to DataUSA commute profiles. That mix means your listing can speak to both local and regional buyers.

Who will value your location

• Daily drivers headed to McKinney, Plano, or Dallas who want straightforward freeway access.
• Shift, manufacturing, and logistics employees who benefit from shorter first and last miles.
• Buyers seeking regional access with the value of Sherman–Denison living.
• Local professionals who travel for work and value simple highway access to the broader region.
• Buyers who prefer to drive because regional fixed-route transit is limited. TAPS provides demand-response and limited connections, so invite buyers to check current options via the Texoma Area Paratransit System dashboard.

Get your facts right before you list

Accuracy builds confidence. Gather and verify these details so your copy is concrete and useful:

• Drive times you can stand behind. Measure typical off-peak and peak windows for McKinney, Plano, Frisco if relevant, and downtown Dallas. Note the date, time, and tool you used to check the route in your listing file.
• Nearest on-ramps and exits. Name the ramps buyers will use daily and state the distance to the closest on-ramp. Mention if frontage roads are one-way or two-way if applicable.
• Construction status. Confirm whether your nearest segment of US-75 has active work, detours, or ramp changes. Link to the TxDOT US-75 project page for readers who want details.
• Parking and storage. Count garage spaces, note covered parking, driveway depth, and any EV-ready features. Highlight mudroom, locker, or drop-zone organization.
• Transit context. If a buyer asks, be clear that fixed commuter rail into Dallas is not available from Sherman or Denison, and direct them to TAPS for current service levels.
• Employer proximity. If relevant, include measured minutes to major local employers. For context on the area’s employers and growth, you can reference regional economic overviews.

Craft commuter-friendly remarks

Buyers respond to clear, neutral language with real numbers. Keep your phrasing precise and time-stamped.

Examples you can adapt:

• “Direct access to US-75 via [nearest exit]. Typical weekday drive to McKinney is about 30 to 40 minutes and to downtown Dallas about 60 to 75 minutes. Timed on [date] using [maps app].”
• “Frontage-road access and on-ramp within [X] miles. Garage parking for [X] cars plus EV-ready outlet.”
• “Located [X] minutes to [verified local employer or hospital]. Good for shift schedules and regional commuters.”
• “US-75 improvements are active nearby. Expect occasional detours during construction. See the TxDOT Paris District page for updates.”

Show and stage for commuters

• Photograph the approach. Include a shot of the nearest ramp or frontage road and a simple map graphic with labeled exits.
• Simplify wayfinding. In showing instructions, note the best approach during peak times and any temporary detours.
• Highlight daily convenience. Put garage capacity, covered parking, EV power, and mudroom storage in the first two bullets of your features list.
• Time your showings. If construction is active, schedule key buyer showings outside planned lane-closure windows when possible.

Be transparent about roadwork

Active construction can change access patterns and add a few minutes to trips. It also delivers long-term safety and flow benefits when complete. Share what you know and cite sources buyers can trust.

• Link to the TxDOT US-75 project page for maps and status.
• Watch weekly Paris District road reports for short-term lane closures, like those noted in this regional road report update.

Talk benefits without overpromising

Commute quality and time influence housing choice, but work-from-home and hybrid schedules also shape demand. Recent research on post-pandemic commuting patterns confirms that shifts in how often people travel to the office affect location decisions. Keep your claims neutral, give measured times with dates, and acknowledge variability during construction. For context, see this peer-reviewed summary of commuting and housing dynamics.
