McKinney

Just 30 miles north of downtown Dallas, McKinney is a picturesque city with a small-town feel that is quite different from the Metroplex’s urban sprawl. Our friendly charm, green spaces and comfortable pace belied the fact that McKinney, with a population of nearly 128,000, is one of the fastest-growing cities in America.

The nation continues to recognize McKinney as a stand-out community with some of the most recent accolades including the August 2010 issue of Money Magazine ranking McKinney #5 on their list of the Best Places to Live in the country. Factors considered included employment, schools, crime and safety, as well as overall quality of life aspects including a feeling of community pride. According to the listing, McKinney’s Historic Downtown and hometown spirit set the city apart from the rest of suburban America. This adds to the accolades already received from Forbes, Best Life Magazine, CNN Money and more.
