Ask anyone who's moved here in the last few years and you'll hear some version of the same thing: it still feels like a real town, even with all the growth. 3509 Almond Lane is a good example of what that looks like in practice — a 3-bedroom, 2-bath home at 1,931 square feet for $389,500, right in the heart of one of Collin County's most in-demand cities.

McKinney's 75070 zip code covers a lot of ground, from newer builds to established neighborhoods like this one, and it's consistently one of the more requested areas from buyers I work with — people want the downtown McKinney energy, the schools, and a shorter drive to work than Prosper or Celina without losing that small-town-feel-inside-a-big-metro thing McKinney has managed to hold onto.

At just under 2,000 square feet with 3 beds and 2 baths, this is a practical size for a family that doesn't need or want to pay for extra square footage they won't use. Inventory in McKinney has loosened up compared to a couple years ago, which means buyers actually have room to negotiate here now — that wasn't the case in 2021, and it's worth knowing if you've been sitting on the sidelines waiting for better terms.
