About McKinney

McKinney is located roughly 30 miles north of Dallas, and is well known for its historic downtown district which is filled art galleries, restaurants, and antique shops. Many Dallas residents routinely make the trip up to McKinney to visit the nearby wineries, tour the historic mansions on a horse and carriage, and then spend the night in a romantic bed and breakfast. Despite McKinney Texas being a popular getaway, well over 100,000 people permanently live in the area. Much like the other north Dallas Suburbs of Allen and Richardson, McKinney is geared toward those who love the great outdoors. With over 300 acres of nature preserves and a weekly all organic farmer’s market, McKinney gives its residents every reason possible to get out of the house and enjoy the Texas weather.
