McKinney Link

McKinney is the northernmost suburb on the Hwy 75 corridor about 35 miles north of Downtown Dallas.  The city has been the fastest growing city in the US for several years since 2000 and has a population of about 120,000.

There are two distinct districts within McKinney. 

East McKinney, east of Hwy 75, has the older neighborhoods of the city and the Downtown Square where the County Courthouse for Collin County is located.   East McKinney has beautiful older homes set on large lots under a canopy of ancient trees.  Along Hwy 75, several shopping centers and new car dealers, supply the town with its medium scale shopping.

The old town square is a bustling busy area where excellent restaurants and nightclubs are mixed with antique stores and professional offices.  This is the area where McKinney’s business takes place.

East McKinney is a great place for a young couple interested in restoring or living in an old home in a neighborhood right out of a picture book.  Many of the older neighborhoods have been preserved intact and the residents intend to maintain the comfortable lifestyle these old neighborhoods offer.

McKinney west of Hwy 75, is primarily an upscale bedroom community with several private and public golf courses, fine schools and good local shopping centers spread out among rolling tree-shaded avenues.  One of the largest planned communities in the US, Stonebridge Ranch, is located here.  The lifestyle is family oriented and sports centered.  Hiking and biking trails follow most main streets and curve around the numerous golf courses.  The scenery in West McKinney is beautiful as you drive along the main streets and avenues, all of which are landscaped including planned vistas over the golf courses and hills.

Most neighborhoods have their own elementary schools, playgrounds and pools.  Stonebridge has numerous pools and playgrounds and a unique sand beach located on a small lake.  The main thing West McKinney is known for is its numerous public and private golf courses.   McKinney s one of the few areas in the nation where you can have a beautiful home on or near the golf course, at a reasonable price.  It’s a great lifestyle.
