Aubrey is a small city in northeast Denton County that's growing fast: it had 5,006 people in the 2020 census and an estimated 9,000 by 2025, and the master-planned communities around it carry Aubrey addresses for thousands more. Founded in 1867, Aubrey is nicknamed "Horse Country U.S.A." for the horse ranches that took over its sandy former peanut farms. Today it's one of the busiest new-home areas in the county, with prices well below nearby Frisco and Prosper, east of Denton along US 377.
