Living in McKinney

Why renters choose McKinney

McKinney has spent years near the top of national 'best places to live' lists, and it's easy to see why: a walkable, restored downtown square full of local shops and restaurants, strong schools, and abundant parks and trails. It offers suburban space and a genuine sense of place while staying connected to the wider Collin County job base.

Getting around

McKinney sits along US-75 (Central Expressway) and SH-121, putting Plano, Frisco and Allen within an easy drive and downtown Dallas reachable for commuters. The Craig Ranch area in particular is a master-planned hub with its own dining, fitness and recreation.

Living at Luxia Craig Ranch

Luxia Craig Ranch is the portfolio's McKinney community — a Class A address inside the Craig Ranch master-planned area. Live pricing, floor plans and availability are on its own website.

Craig Ranch has built a national reputation of its own — Money Magazine named it one of America's 'Best Places to Live' in 2014, and the master-planned community continues to earn that reputation with a championship golf course, walkable retail and dining, and miles of trails. Living here means the neighborhood's identity and the community's address are effectively the same thing, which is unusual even by McKinney's standards.

Pet-friendly Craig Ranch

K9 Corral at Craig Ranch, McKinney's off-leash dog park at 7951 Collin McKinney Pkwy, is about half a mile from Luxia Craig Ranch — a fenced, wood-chip-covered park with separate sections for big and small dogs, open sunrise to sunset. Luxia Craig Ranch's own pet policy (fees, breed guidelines) is covered in our DFW pet-friendly apartments guide.
