Living in McKinney, TX
What's it like to live McKinney? Let's start with the positives.
These include a strong, moderately-priced housing market and a quickly growing job market, while still maintaining a somewhat small-town vibe. There's also plenty of nature to explore in and around McKinney, and you can feel safe doing it.
On the other hand, the daily commute to downtown Dallas can be tough if you're one of the many folks who works there. McKinney also lacks some big-city amenities, like entertainment options, although they're easily accessible throughout the surrounding area.
Things to Do in McKinney
Many of the top things to do in McKinney are outdoors. Take the dogs for a run at the Dog Park at Bonnie Wenk, go boating, fishing, or just walk the trails at the Towne Lake Recreation Area.
There is also Erwin Park, with some great hiking and biking trails, and the Heard Natural Science Museum and Wildlife Sanctuary is one of the best things to do with kids.
Other McKinney attractions include the Chestnut Square Historical Village, where you'll be transported back in time and learn more about the city's roots. Historic Downtown McKinney is another treat, and there's plenty of shopping along Main Street.
If you're hungry, don't miss Hutchins BBQ & Catfish, which is considered one of the best BBQ joints in all of Texas - and that's saying something. Sugarbacon Proper Kitchen is another favorite spot to eat in McKinney.
McKinney has some cool annual events too. Bike the Bricks attracts cyclists in droves in May. Whether you're competing or just watching, fun is guaranteed. Then there's the Ice Cream Crank-Off in June, where the city's best chefs compete to see who can make the tastiest frozen treat.
But if beer's more your thing, check out McKinney's Oktoberfest. Just make sure you get the date right, since its mid-September timing can be a little counter-intuitive.
