Homes > McKinney Texas Homes for Sale > Best Places to Live in McKinney Texas

If McKinney Texas is one of your choices to call home, you search may have just come to an end. McKinney Texas is one of the most beautiful places in the area. Rolling hills, winding roads and extensive landscaping with matured trees are the most prominent features of the area.

In the Eldorado/ US-75 area (west), you will find small communities nestled in wooded lots. If matured trees are what you are looking for, these communities, often custom built are what you may be looking for.

Some of these communities began in the mid-1990s, however since they were custom-built (many of them area), they were built with features far beyond their times. The Master bedrooms are actually master retreats, many of them have 3-car garages, open and spacious floorplans. The kitchens are huge and enough to entertain many guests. Since the front and backyards are pictureque, these custom homes are built with the landscape in mind. Windows (and tons of them!) overlooks the backyards and many of these homes come with custom pools and spa.

Since this area is located just minutes from US-75 (Central Expressway), it is conveniently located to the main artery of the metroplex. Minutes from the Premium Allen Factory Outlet, retail and restaurant pads, this area is wonderful for city conveniences.

The icing on the cake is that the area school is Valley Creek Elementary - a National Blue Ribbon School in McKinney Texas. The parental involvement is very high and the quality of teachers are superb. TAKS scores are almost perfect (98%) when compared to the state level of only 58%. Classroom sizes are small and school children will not be "lost" in the crowd.

Some of these communities are:

• Village of Eldorado
• Village Creek
• Forest Ridge
• Eldorado Estates
• Creek Crossing
• Kensington Creek
• Hidden Forest
• The Reserve at Eldorado
• Provine Farms Estates
• St. George Estates
