Anna, Texas Real Estate
The Milstead Team helps buyers, sellers, and investors in Anna, Texas, one of the fastest-growing cities in the United States. Based just south in McKinney, our family has sold North Texas real estate for four generations. We know Anna’s new-construction communities, its historic downtown, and the land and acreage around it, including property in the Anna ETJ.
Why People Are Moving to Anna
Anna has grown from a small Collin County town into one of the fastest-growing cities in the country. In U.S. Census Bureau estimates for mid-2024 to mid-2025, Anna ranked among the five fastest-growing U.S. cities with 20,000+ residents. Buyers choose Anna for:
More home for the money compared with cities farther south in Collin County
New construction, with many communities and builders to choose from
Easy access to US-75, with a straight shot to McKinney, Allen, Plano, and Dallas
The Collin County Outer Loop, a growing regional corridor that’s shaping Anna’s future
Small-town character, with a historic downtown and a strong community feel
Land and acreage in and around the Anna ETJ
Homes and Land in Anna
New construction: Anna has a wide range of master-planned communities and builders, from entry-level homes to larger floor plans. We help you compare builders, communities, lot locations, incentives, and upgrades, and we represent you, not the builder.
Established neighborhoods: Anna also has resale homes in established communities, often with mature landscaping and no construction nearby. To name a few, West Crossing is a highly reviewed neighborhood that features wider, estate-style lots and an upscale suburban layout. Oak Hollow is known as a more tight-knit neighborhood, with lower traffic, mature trees, and a cozy feel. Anna Town Square is a 600-acre, master planned community, with people loving its convenience; it has an on-site daycare, middle school, and an elementary school directly inside the community.
Land, acreage, and development property: Much of the land around Anna sits in the city’s ETJ (extraterritorial jurisdiction). It’s often appealing for its lower taxes and fewer restrictions, but it comes with questions about utilities, zoning, and future annexation. We’ve listed and sold land in the Anna area, and we help buyers and sellers work through those questions.
Investing in Anna
