Housing

What kinds of neighborhoods are in McKinney?

McKinney has large master-planned communities with shared amenities, smaller single-subdivision associations, neighborhoods with no association, and both resale homes and new construction.

McKinney includes several master-planned communities, where a community association maintains shared amenities and sets rules, funded by assessments. Stonebridge Ranch, at more than 5,000 acres, is one of the largest; read the Stonebridge Ranch guide.

Other neighborhoods have a smaller association covering a single subdivision, or no association at all. Fewer shared amenities usually means fewer rules and lower dues, so it’s worth deciding early which tradeoff suits you.

You’ll also weigh resale homes against new construction. With a resale home you can see the finished street, lot and neighbors. With new construction you choose finishes, but the surrounding area may still be building out.

Before you buy

What should you check before buying a home in McKinney?

Check three things for the specific address: its school district, its association documents and its property tax rate. All three can differ between homes on nearby streets.

  • Which school district serves a McKinney home? It depends on the address. McKinney’s city limits and extraterritorial jurisdiction are zoned for seven school districts, so a McKinney mailing address doesn’t tell you which district serves a home. McKinney ISD covers most of the area. Confirm the district and campuses for the specific address with the district before you make an offer.
  • Association documents. If a home is in an association, ask for the governing documents, the current assessments and any resale or transfer fees in writing.
  • Property taxes. The taxing units, and so the total tax rate, depend on the exact property. Look up the property on the Collin Central Appraisal District site rather than relying on a citywide figure.

Before you sell

How should you price a home in McKinney?

Price from recent sales of comparable homes in the same neighborhood and school district, not citywide medians. Two homes a mile apart can sit in different districts or associations, and buyers compare them that way.

If your home is in an association, gather its resale requirements early so the paperwork doesn’t slow your closing. Tammy also advises on presentation and preparation before photos and showings; see how she approaches selling.

Tammy’s experience

Tammy Flynn’s McKinney sales history

Tammy Flynn’s MLS report shows 171 McKinney home sales since 2006, 35 of them since January 2024. The report doesn’t include her new-construction sales.

These are Tammy’s own closed transactions from her individual MLS production report (through 2026). In 3 of them she represented both the seller and the buyer, so those sales appear in both side counts. The median price of her McKinney sales over that period was $447,500. That describes her past sales, not today’s McKinney market. For current market figures, see the Texas Real Estate Research Center, or ask Tammy for recent comparable sales near a specific home.
