City of McKinney – Unique By Nature

McKinney, a city renowned for its inherent uniqueness, encapsulates the vibrant spirit of our community. From the bustling historic downtown and the enchanting Adriatica Village, inspired by Croatian architecture, to the tranquil natural landscapes and abundant recreational opportunities, McKinney offers a tapestry of experiences that define its distinct character. These elements not only shape our community’s identity but also provide cherished gathering spots for families and friends, fostering a sense of belonging and connection.

Nestled just 30 miles north of downtown Dallas, McKinney epitomizes picturesque charm with a close-knit small-town atmosphere, all while being conveniently situated near the bustling Metroplex. Despite its rapid growth, McKinney maintains its friendly allure, characterized by lush green spaces and a relaxed pace, inviting residents and visitors alike to savor its unique ambiance.

As the county seat of Collin County, McKinney stands as a beacon of progress and opportunity. With a current population of 215,667 and a steady annual growth rate of 1.93%, McKinney continues to evolve while preserving its distinct Southern charm. Embracing a balanced way of life and an authentic sense of place, McKinney proudly earns its moniker as “Unique by Nature.”

The accolades speak for themselves, with Money Magazine recognizing McKinney’s blend of modernity and Southern hospitality, highlighting its status as a hub for growth-industry jobs and its commitment to career and college preparation within its schools. McKinney’s journey is one of dynamic growth, where tradition meets innovation, and community spirit thrives.
