Five of the six top best places to buy a home in the U.S. are in Texas, according to a new ranking.

The city of Frisco, part of the fast-growing Dallas-Fort Worth metro area, tops the list released Tuesday by personal-finance website WalletHub. Austin takes second, while three more Dallas-Fort Worth suburbs — McKinney, Denton and Allen — hold down the Nos. 4, 5 and 6 spots. (Gilbert, Arizona, in the Phoenix metro area, is third.)
