North McKinney is rapidly transforming as thousands of new single-family homes are planned across several large-scale residential projects. Developers and city officials are preparing for a wave of new construction that will reshape the city’s northern neighborhoods and meet growing demand for suburban housing in Collin County.

According to recent updates, over 4,000 new homes are planned across seven major housing developments. Some projects are already underway, while others are currently in the early planning or construction phases.

🏘️ Major Developments Underway

Among the most notable projects:

Painted Tree: A large master-planned community featuring 4,000 homes, trails, parks, and a town center-style layout
Highland Lakes: Will add hundreds of homes and community amenities north of Bloomdale Road
Foster Crossing and North Haven: Expected to introduce new single-family options near U.S. Highway 75 and Lake Forest Drive

These communities are designed to include green space, walking trails, and recreational features that cater to families, remote workers, and first-time buyers.

📈 Why It’s Happening

City officials say the surge in housing development is driven by:

Continued population growth in McKinney and Collin County
Strong demand for single-family homes with suburban features
The area’s access to quality schools, retail, and transportation networks

McKinney’s strategic location and investment in infrastructure have made it a top choice for both homebuilders and new residents seeking a blend of modern living and community charm.

🛣️ Infrastructure & Planning Support

To support this growth, McKinney is also:

Expanding roadways and utility infrastructure in the area
Working with developers to ensure zoning, drainage, and traffic management meet city standards
Planning for future school district expansions and public services

🏡 What This Means for Residents

For current and prospective residents, this residential boom means more housing options, more neighborhood amenities, and a growing sense of community in North McKinney.

However, with that growth also comes the need for careful city planning to ensure sustainable development and continued quality of life.
