McKinney is a Southeast Austin neighborhood that shares its name with the nearby state park. About 6 miles from downtown and just minutes from Austin-Bergstrom International Airport, it blends quiet residential streets with a stretch of industrial and commercial hubs along Burleson Road. Major highways like Interstate 35, U.S. Route 183 and state Highway 71 run nearby, and McKinney's median sale price in the lower $300,000s is well below the citywide median. It appeals to buyers who want nearby green space and highway access without paying central Austin prices.
Types of homes for sale in McKinney and how much they cost
Single-family homes are the most common housing option here. You’ll see everything from midcentury ranch-style houses to traditional two-story homes built from the 1990s through the 2000s. Houses typically sell from the lower $200,000s to the upper $300,000s, but the occasional outlier can go for more. Prices generally depend on condition. “Many of the houses that have been there for a while need some work, but they're a great bargain for Austin. And you have the new construction, too,” says Nate Clark, the CEO of Altitude Real Estate Group at Realty of America. “So, there's a great range for a lot of different budgets.”

Living near McKinney Falls State Park and smaller green spaces
McKinney Falls State Park is the real highlight here. It’s east of the neighborhood and surrounds Onion Creek, which slides over limestone ledges into swimming holes that stay busy on hot days. Nearly 9 miles of trails wind through the park, from the paved Onion Creek Hike and Bike Trail to rugged dirt paths like the Homestead Trail. There are plenty of campsites for overnight stays, spots for fishing in Onion Creek and a bald cypress named Old Baldy that's estimated to be more than 500 years old.
In McKinney’s southeastern corner, Dove Springs District Park has a playground, a public swimming pool, sports fields and walking paths. It’s also home to the George Morales Dove Springs Recreation Center. Golfers have the 18-hole Jimmy Clay and Roy Kizer golf courses nearby, and the Onion Creek Soccer Complex borders the neighborhood.
People love to visit McKinney Falls State Park to soak in the scenery.

South Austin restaurants and shopping centers near SoCo
Outside of its industrial and residential areas, McKinney has a handful of shops and restaurants. You can run errands at La Moreliana Market, Family Dollar and Dollar General. For food, there are fast-food spots like Church's Texas Chicken and food trucks like Taqueria Peloncitos. Around the neighborhood, local restaurants and breweries include:
Meanwhile Brewing Co., a craft brewery with outdoor concerts and movie nights
Casa Moreno’s, a family owned Mexican restaurant known for its lunch buffet
Radio/East, a coffee shop and beer garden featuring food trucks and live music
Catfish Parlour, a seafood spot known for its fried catfish and Southern flavors

Bigger shopping centers are a short drive away off I-35. That's where you'll find retailers like Fiesta Mart, Lowe's, H-E-B and Walmart. SouthPark Meadows has more options roughly 7 miles from McKinney, and SoCo's local shops and restaurants are about 4 miles away on South Congress Avenue.
I-35 and state Highway 71 connect McKinney to downtown Austin and the airport.
McKinney offers quick highway access to downtown and beyond
Getting around McKinney is pretty convenient, since major highways are just outside the neighborhood. “The location is fantastic,” Clark says. “South Austin has become a real hot spot, and McKinney is right there.” I-35 offers a straight shot into the city. The 6-mile drive downtown usually takes around 15 minutes in light traffic and closer to 25 or 30 during rush hour. Highway 71 gets you to Austin-Bergstrom International Airport, while US 183 connects to North Austin hubs like The Domain. CapMetro buses run through the neighborhood, but with limited walkability and bike lanes, most residents get around by car.
