An award-winning master-planned community in the rapidly growing suburb of McKinney, Craig Ranch was designed to optimize the lives of North Texas families. Here, over 400 acres of green space connect throughout the neighborhood via running and biking trails to TPC Craig Ranch, a private championship golf course that hosts the PGA Tour's AT&T Byron Nelson. Aside from being centered around a luxury golf course, Craig Ranch enhances lifestyle elements for every member of the family with convenience to local businesses, schools and medical centers. "My favorite part about living in this neighborhood is that it's very family-friendly," says resident Cati Cabra. "There are multiple schools and community centers within the neighborhoods surrounding the main shopping centers, so if there's good weather, you can count on seeing people outside spending time with their families."

An A-plus for Frisco Independent School District
Students in Craig Ranch attend schools in the Frisco Independent School District, which received an overall grade of A-plus on the educational review site, Niche. They start with kindergarten through fourth grade at Comstock Elementary, which received an A-plus on Niche. Then, they continue to Wortham Intermedia School for fifth and sixth grade, which has yet to be rated on Niche as it just opened its doors in the fall of 2023. Seventh- and eighth-grade students attend the A-rated Scoggins Middle School before continuing to Emerson High School, which opened in August 2021 and has yet to be rated on Niche. Emerson High School was a $111 million construction resulting in a state-of-the-art building with academic, arts and athletic facilities and Frisco ISD's first storm shelter, which doubles as a gym and provides an area of refuge to the McKinney community. For private education, parents can enroll their children in the nearby Guidepost Montessori at Eldorado, which enrolls students ages 16 months through six years.
Wortham Intermediate School provides an exemplary education for their students.
The students at Emerson High School work hard towards a future they create.

All trails lead to TPC Craig Ranch
TPC Craig Ranch is undeniably the neighborhood's elite green space, home to not only a championship golf course but also a clubhouse and chef-driven eateries. Accessing TPC Craig Ranch does require a membership, but residents who'd prefer to use a public green space still have plenty of options. The expansive Gabe Nesbitt Community Park serves the neighborhood's north end with various amenities, like baseball and softball fields, a tennis complex and a skatepark. Smaller parks are sprinkled throughout the neighborhood so that a playground and a picnic table are never far from home, and the neighborhood's south end is equipped with amenities like the K9 Corral dog park and Children's Health StarCenter, an indoor ice-skating rink with skating lessons, youth hockey programs and public skating hours.
K9 Corral is one terrific place to bring your BIG friend for a bit of fun fetching the ball.
Drop in for a good run at Gabe Nesbitt Community Park.

AT&T Byron Nelson and the Craig Ranch Community Association
Held annually in May, AT&T Byron Nelson is easily the most significant event in the neighborhood; in 2022, it attracted an estimated 35,000 to 45,000 spectators and produced an economic impact of $55.4 million in North Texas. Throughout the year, however, residents can get to know their neighbors through events organized by the Craig Ranch Community Association, like yard sales, dog park meetups and community holiday celebrations.
Diverse dining options and plenty of retail access
Craig Ranch residents can access almost any cuisine imaginable from a mix of locally-owned restaurants and chains. Residents enjoy authentic Indian food at Honest, elevated Tex-Mex at Mi Cocina and craft coffee at Duino. A diversity of cuisine is found not only in the neighborhood's restaurants but also in its grocery stores. In addition to having an ALDI, Kroger and every Texan's favorite grocery store, H-E-B, residents can shop for Indian groceries at Patel Brothers in McKinney Towne Crossing, which also has a Target, a movie theater and a Walmart across the street.
Stop by Duino and get a very delicious coffee or drink and something to eat while you socialize.

21st-century new traditional homes
Entirely developed in the 21st century, Craig Ranch has primarily new traditional single-family housing with brick facades and touches of limestone. Architectural influences vary, with some being Tudor-inspired and others Spanish-style, and some of the neighborhood's newer builds are hypermodern takes on traditionalism, often with white brick exteriors and black shingled roofs. Many Craig Ranch homes belong to single-family or townhouse communities, often equipped with shared amenities like water features, playgrounds and community pools. Neighborhood streets in Craig Ranch are idyllic and quintessentially suburban, with sidewalks lining tree-dotted, neatly mowed lawns. Properties tend to prioritize the home's square footage over lawn space, with houses taking up most of their lots to maximize room for growing families. Buyers should expect to spend between $450,000 and $800,000 for a three-bedroom home, with typically only townhouses selling for less than that and luxury new builds sometimes selling for more. The median price in Craig Ranch is about $435,000 for a townhouse and $630,000 for a single-family home.

Traffic due to rapid growth in McKinney
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, McKinney's population grew by nearly 20% between 2017 and 2022, and in 2020, it was the fourth-fastest-growing American city. Though the population growth has helped the area grow commercially, residents warn that it has affected traffic. "It's a rapidly growing area, so the traffic has become very heavy over the past couple of years," Cabra says. "It's difficult to get in and out of the neighborhoods and shopping centers unless you're at a traffic light."
Come and see why people call Craig Ranch a beautiful neighborhood for the family to live in.
Plenty of shopping locations can be found in Craig Ranch.
