What area of Plano? What time will you head into work and how long do you consider a good commute? If you go into work on off hours you have options 180 degrees north of Plano. If you go in at normal rush hour time you might start to narrow your areas based on where your job is going to be.
If the job is in East Plano off 75 McKinney makes a good option. If you're off the Tollway in West Plano it is still an option, but depending on what you're looking for there may be better options.
If you're in East Plano, Melissa and Anna are farther up 75 and you'll get more home for your money. If you're in Far East Plano (East of 75) Wylie, Murphy, and Lucas will be good places to look.
West Plano gets tough if you're looking for a house with land that isn't way up there. Little Elm has some options, but rush hour traffic will be a bear. Oak Point has some great local builders doing 1-5 acre homes, but commutes to Plano get longer. Prosper and Celina have direct access to the tollway and the tollway access roads with larger lots but land in Prosper is close to the price of gold.
Weston and far North McKinney/Collin County still have bigger tracts/lots as well. The farther north you go the closer you are to Hagerman too.

North is nice but traffic sucks in Mckinney for the next couple of year due to a major construction project. You will hate life if you have to drive 75 everyday until it's done.

I would take Graysons advice. I make the drive every day to Richardson from Bells and even with construction it is not that bad. You could look up hwy 78 towards the Blue Ridge area. I have an acre in a nice sub-division I will sell for the right price. Will let it go a lot less then Mckinney prices.
I would stay away from Anna and Melissa though. Nothing wrong with the towns but that dump smells horrible. I feel for the folks that had nice homes built there before it went in and have to deal with that stench. And it does reach all the way to Anna if the wind is right. Will turn your outdoor weekend bbq into a not pleasant experience.
