McKinney, with one of the oldest original downtown areas in Texas (established in 1848), was recently ranked 14th out of the top 100 places to live by Money Magazine, and no wonder!  Located just 30 miles northeast of Dallas, the city offers quiet, tree lined streets and plenty of green space, including a PGA Tour owned and operated golf course and a 289-acre outdoor preserve and nature museum. McKinney's downtown area offers over 100 unique shops and several restaurants including upscale choices as well as the must have local coffee shop.  If you are craving a quiet friendly atmosphere, be sure to consider McKinney!
