About McKinney, TX

McKinney, Texas sits at the northern tip of the Dallas, Fort Worth metro area between State Highway 75 and the North Dallas Tollway. With a little over 130,000 residents, McKinney is considered very large for a suburban town but is still only the second largest city in Collin County. Founded in 1848, McKinney is one of the oldest cities in all of Texas. It has seen a major transformation in recent decades, with many of its old buildings re-purposed into offices, storefronts, and art galleries. Furthermore, being at the northern edge of the DFW Metroplex gives McKinney a very distinctive feel. Head a few minutes north along U.S. Highway 75 and you’re in the country surrounded by farmland, head a few minutes south in the opposite direction, and you’re deep inside one of the largest cities in the United States.

In 2012, CNN Money named McKinney the second best small city to live in the country. The city received this prestigious mention because of its small-town, rural and suburban culture as well as its positive economic outlook. McKinney enjoys an unemployment rate that is 20% below the national average and a robust job market that is projected to grow steadily in the coming years. Another sign that times are good in McKinney is its average household income which is nearly 50% higher than the rest of the United States.
