About this place
McKinney sits on the Blackland Prairie of Texas, part of the greater Dallas metropolitan area. Though close to the big city, it maintains a distinct, self-contained character. Two major highways — U.S. Route 75 and the Sam Rayburn Tollway — provide straightforward car access from Dallas. Once here, getting around is easiest with your own vehicle, as public transit options are limited.
