With an anticipated population boom that could double the town's resident count over the next decade, Little Elm won't be quite so little in the coming years. Little Elm is currently around 75% built out, with an estimated population of just above 50,000. The town is aiming for a variety of entertainment, retail and mixed-use development going forward, intent on being a regional tourism powerhouse. Little Elm is unique among municipalities along the northern stretches of DFW. It's heavily residential and doesn't boast the industry base of some of nearby cities like Frisco and Plano.
