A conveniently located suburb near Historic Downtown McKinney

East McKinney is home to tree-shaded front yards and close to Historic Downtown McKinney and the charming storefronts that line its streets, around 35 miles north of downtown Dallas. Residents are a short drive from the businesses and events of downtown, with easy access to major thoroughfares and parks. “A lot of people are drawn to McKinney for its quaint, small-town atmosphere,” says Missy Fournet, a local real estate agent with Keller Williams Realty. “The city doesn’t have a small population, but there are no high rises and a lot of historic architecture, which sets it apart from some of the nearby Dallas suburbs.”

From small bungalows to large luxury builds

Quaint bungalows and brick ranch-style homes make up most of the East McKinney housing market and sit close together on quarter-acre lots. Most houses were built between the 1960s and early 2000s, with a few new builds dotted throughout. While the neighborhood’s streets have minimal through traffic, noise levels can be high due to proximity to McDonald Street and the McKinney National Airport. “East McKinney has a more affordable market compared to downtown and the city’s western suburbs,” Fournet says. “It makes it popular among first-time buyers.” Fixer-uppers and smaller single-story homes can go for $170,000 to $400,000, while larger builds with recent renovations tend to range from $450,000 to $600,000. The Serenity subdivision on the neighborhood’s south side has modern homes with luxury interiors and over 4,000 square feet ranging from $1.3 million to $2.1 million.
