CNNMoney.com Lists McKinney In Top 5 Best Places To Live!
Lots of towns near Dallas have low crime,
affordable homes, and good jobs; McKinney is no exception. What makes it
stand out is its gem of a downtown. Lovingly restored 19th-century
buildings house restaurants, boutiques, and galleries; the 1875
courthouse contains a new performing-arts center.
McKinney's employment opportunities are robust, sparing many residents a
rush-hour drive of up to an hour to Dallas. Defense contractor Raytheon
has a 3,700-person division here, and a mix of businesses in financial
services, medical technology, and eco-friendly manufacturing are moving
in.
Though McKinney has grown like mad over the past decade, you'd never
suspect it when driving through its tree-filled communities surrounded
by ponds, parks, and hiking trails.
