South McKinney combines top schools with local shops and restaurants
South McKinney puts convenience at the forefront. The neighborhood is within walking distance of several highly rated schools and has easy access to Texas State Highway 121. However, residents often forego the freeway thanks to an assortment of restaurants and shops close to home. South McKinney also offers choices when it comes to housing prices, with a mix of modest and more expensive homes. “It’s reasonably priced compared to other areas,” says Joe Worley, a Realtor with Russell Realty. “It’s also pretty much built out. There’s not a lot around it that is going to expand.”
Welcome to McKinney—where South McKinney’s tree-lined streets, top-rated schools, and community pride set the tone.
South McKinney’s tree-lined avenues and roomy homes offer a perfect blend of charm and convenience.

Townhouses and traditional homes along concrete streets
South McKinney houses are typically built in the New Traditional style and have brick and stone exteriors. Residential streets are concrete, and sidewalks usually flank them on both sides. Parking along the curb is a common practice. Front yards can feature small- and medium-sized trees, and grass lawns are kept short. Townhouses generally range from $350,000 to $550,000. Traditional homes can sell for between $425,000 and $850,000, though they can be more expensive in the Lake Forest subdivision, often going between $750,000 and $1.2 million. The area also has several apartment complexes, and nearly half of the community’s occupants are renters. The eastern section is mostly commercial, featuring several car dealerships.
