McKinney – Unique by Nature

Flags250B

Located just 30 miles north of Dallas, 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.

Our friendly charm, green spaces and comfortable pace belies the fact that McKinney, with a population of nearly 128,000, is one of the fastest growing cities in America.


Unique Living

McKinney has a unique neighborhood for every lifestyle and income level.

The McKinney Independent School District offers outstanding schools. The city currently has three high schools -- McKinney High School, McKinney North High School and McKinney Boyd High School.

Historic Downtown McKinney

If shopping is your thing, downtown McKinney offers an assortment of specialty shops, art galleries featuring the works of local artists, furniture stores, exquisite antique collections, gift shops and apparel boutiques.

The original Collin County Courthouse stands at the center of McKinney's historic downtown square. Reborn in 2006 as the McKinney Performing Arts Center (MPAC), the performing arts venue features a 480-seat theater suitable for intimate arts performances, lectures and events. In addition to the theater, MPAC includes several multi-purpose spaces, including a reception hall, auditorium, rehearsal space, audiovisual-equipped classrooms, art gallery and executive suites.

Thousands of people flock to downtown for annual events such as Oktoberfest, Dickens of a Christmas and Bike the Bricks.
