Why People Move to McKinney

McKinney is one of the fastest-growing cities in North Texas, with a population of more than 237,000 as of 2026. People choose McKinney for its mix of small-town character and big-city access:

  • Historic Downtown McKinney: a walkable square with locally owned shops, restaurants, and community events year-round.

  • Strong schools and family-friendly neighborhoods, with parks, trails, and master-planned communities.

  • Easy commutes via US-75, SH-121 (Sam Rayburn Tollway), and US-380, with quick access to Frisco, Allen, Plano, and Dallas.

  • A growing local economy, including McKinney National Airport (TKI), which is adding commercial passenger service.

  • Room to spread out: larger lots and acreage on McKinney’s north and east sides.

McKinney offers a wide range of housing, from historic homes to brand-new construction:

  • Historic District & Downtown: older homes with character, close to the square.

  • Adriatica Village: a European-inspired community near Stonebridge.

  • Tucker Hill and Trinity Falls: newer communities on the north side with a strong neighborhood feel.
