City of McKinney

Just north of Allen, 33 miles north of downtown Dallas is the City of McKinney. For the last 20 years, McKinney has been a rapidly growing area of north Texas. As of summer 2017, McKinney was the 3rd fastest growing city in the entire US. In 2014, Money Magazine ranked McKinney, TX the number 1 place to live in the US.

The elements that made McKinney unique from its beginnings are the same that continue to attract residents, visitors and businesses to the community today. Beautiful tree-lined streets, diverse residential neighborhoods, outstanding educational opportunities, a robust business environment, a charming historic downtown and a strong sense of community make McKinney truly stand out. The city’s Unique by nature brand is more than a tagline, it embodies the community’s willingness to work together to make McKinney a great place to be. As one of the fastest-growing cities in the nation, residents, businesses and visitors show that they strongly embrace the community’s vision and strong overall quality of life.

Just 30 miles north of downtown Dallas, McKinney is a picturesque city with a small-town feel that is quite different from the Metroplex’s urban sprawl. Our friendly charm, green spaces and comfortable pace belie the fact that McKinney, with a 2019 population of nearly 190,000, is one of the fastest-growing cities in America
