Whether you're looking for a starter home in an up-and-coming neighborhood, a Victorian-era "painted lady" on a quiet street, a maintenance-free condo or townhome, an urban-style loft with city views or a multimillion-dollar mansion in a master-planned community, you'll find it in McKinney.

STONEBRIDGE RANCH

XXX
McKinney is home to one of the nation’s largest and most well-established master-planned communities: Stonebridge Ranch.

Located on over 5,000 acres, with 1,200 acres preserved as open space, Stonebridge Ranch is the largest Master Planned Community in North Texas. The population at build out is projected to be 30-35,000 residents. The community includes six parks, 830 acres of golf courses, lakes, ponds, sailing, fishing and 8,000+ single family homes, 1700 multifamily units, 280 acres of retail, and 270 acres of office space.

Stonebridge Ranch is located in McKinney, Texas, about 35 miles Northeast of Dallas, and is one of the nation’s most recognized master-planned communities. Since it’s opening in 1988, Stonebridge Ranch has grown to a balanced mix of residential, retail, and office uses with multiple amenities, and a wide array of exemplary rated educational choices, and a variety of worship opportunities. 

Today, Stonebridge Ranch is a community with 68 distinctive villages with homes ranging from the $160’s to over $2 million, and  a diverse population of young families, empty nesters, retirees and singles. There is no place like it in the Metroplex.
 

 ADRIATICA

Adriatica gives new meaning to the word “unique.” The 45-acre development by the Blackard Group is modeled after Supetar, a Croatian village on Brac Island in the Adriatic Sea. The $250 million complex will include about 80 villas, 300 condominiums and space for shops and restaurants centered on a harbor with a wedding chapel on its own little island.

“McKinney has always prided itself on offering a variety of housing types — neat, interesting places — so we’ve always been open to people doing different things,” says Brian James, McKinney’s deputy director of development services. “But Adriatica is really different than anything else out there.”

Plans call for Adriatica to have a range of buildings, including St. Paul’s Plaza — a replica of St. Mark’s Plaza in Venice — with room for a charter school, ofices, apartments and a theater, says developer Jeff Blackard.

“Our goal is to create a community that in a relatively short period of time replicates villages that have taken centuries to develop,” he says. “This project is not only unique, it’s revolutionary.”

"McKinney developments have so much diversity,” says David Pitstick, chairman of the McKinney Economic Development Corporation. “We have older homes and brand-new homes, homes that appeal to chief executive officers or folks just starting out. You have a lot more housing options in McKinney than you would have in many other communities."

TUCKER HILL

Adjacent to Stonebridge Ranch, a new community is Tucker Hill, among the first traditional neighborhood developments in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. It will eventually consist of approximately 550 new homes built in an array of architectural styles, from Victorian and Tudor to four-square and craftsman. The community is a throwback to traditional neighborhoods that developed prior to World War II — a cohesive community that does not make one side of the street a mirror of the other.

Tucker Hill amenities include a resort-style pool and resident center opening in 2010, a playground, a dog park, ponds, trails, water features and a town center with restaurants, shops and offices, and world-class landscaping throughout the community to ensures that Tucker Hill remains beautiful year-round.

Residents of Tucker Hill enjoy a full social calendar of concerts, festivals, movies on the lawn, educational seminars and clubs — all brought to them by the community activities director. One successful example of community programming is the award-winning Arts on the Lawn series, a partnership with the McKinney Performing Arts Center.

CRAIG RANCH

More than 6,500 residents have found a home at the 2,500-acre Craig Ranch development, which is anchored by the Tournament Players Club at Craig Ranch, the only golf course in Texas that is owned and operated by the PGA.

The community also offers the Cooper Aerobics Center at Craig Ranch, an 85,000-square-foot wellness facility and spa created by world- renowned health and fitness expert Dr. Kenneth Cooper; The Ballfields, the largest Little League baseball complex in the nation; and five-time Olympic medalist Michael Johnson’s new sports training facility, the Michael Johnson Performance Center.

“Craig Ranch will eventually be home to 50,000 residents,” developer David Craig says. “I’ve never seen a community with this type of energy.”
