For housing, McKinney offers unique neighborhoods for every lifestyle and income level. McKinney schools, from the school district to Collin College, have earned a reputation for excellence.

Historic homes wrap around McKinney's downtown, one of the oldest authentic and thriving historic downtowns in Texas. The downtown commercial district offers over 100 unique shops and more than a dozen unique restaurants. 1The original Collin County Courthouse, now the McKinney Performing Arts Center, stands at the center of McKinney's historic downtown square.

McKinney's gently rolling hills, tree-lined neighborhoods, historic downtown and beautiful parks give the city a quaint, small town feel – quite different from the Metroplex's urban sprawl.

The friendly charm and comfortable pace belies the fact that McKinney, with a population of approximately 122,000 people, is one of the fastest-growing cities in America.
