McKinney TX Real Estate and Community Information

 

 

Home to one of the state’s largest historic districts, McKinney’s charm and comfortable pace is quite different from the metroplex’s urban sprawl, prompting Money Magazine to select McKinney as is #1 Best Place to Live in America in 2014.

 

The city of McKinney is located just 30 miles north of Dallas.  McKinney is a tight-knit community that offers tree-lined streets, and a historic downtown.  This fast-growing city has a friendly, small-town feel despite the city’s population which topped 149,000 in January 2014.

 

Whether you are looking for a starter home in an up-and-coming neighborhood, a Victorian-era “painted lady” on a quiet street, a maintenance-free condo, a loft with city views or a multi-million-dollar mansion in a master-planned community, you will find it in McKinney. McKinney has a unique neighborhood for every lifestyle and income level.

2,300 acres of open space, 50 miles of hike & bike trails, 47 parks, centers, and sports complexes.

 

 

Schools:
