Local Lifestyle
McKinney, Texas, (population of 220,000), has a unique, rich, and diverse spirit with a vibrant present and promising future. Located along US 75, in the northeastern corner of the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, McKinney's population has more than doubled every ten years since 1990 and is expected to reach 350,000 once the community is built out. McKinney is just 30 miles north of downtown Dallas and is the county seat of Collin County.
Throughout its growth, McKinney has maintained its sense of community and dedication to community engagement. The Unique by Nature brand is more than a tagline - it represents a way of life in a community that willingly works together to make McKinney a great place in which to live, work and raise a family. The city continues to invest in parks, recreation areas and well-planned open space, ensuring that as the community grows, it retains its livability and sense of place. The many and varied recreational opportunities include hiking and biking trails, aquatic centers, and splash pads throughout the city parks and a full array of adult and youth sports including golf, soccer, tennis, baseball, softball and more. The city offers numerous festivals throughout the year including holiday events, outdoor music, and art fairs. Residents also benefit from all the cultural amenities within the Metroplex.
The city is known for its diversity of housing options located on beautiful tree-lined streets and its outstanding educational system. The highly rated McKinney Independent School District, as well as excellent area private schools, provide quality education to over 24,500 students in grades K-12. All three McKinney ISD high schools rank in the top 5% of the nation's high schools. McKinney also offers easy access to higher education as the home to Collin College and branches of the University of North Texas, Texas A&M - Commerce and the University of Texas at Dallas at the Collin Higher Education Center.
In addition to its thoughtful residential development, McKinney has been an important destination for business leaders. The city has attracted companies like Raytheon, Wistron Green Tech, Torchmark, Emerson Process Management, Tong Yang, Simpson Strong Tie, Tenant Tracker, Manner Plastics, Dynacraft and Traxxas. Homegrown companies like Encore Wire, Newtoy (now Zynga), RMCN and Brandon Industries have also thrived in McKinney. The city has been a leader in sustainable developments, and its historic business district is one of the largest and most successful in the state.
