McKinney is located in north Collin County. It is far enough from Dallas to provide a relaxed, small-town environment, yet close enough to take advantage of activities and services in the “big city.” The area has planned well for growth utilizing a Master Land Use Plan which includes expanding water storage capacity and major thoroughfares. |
