McKinney is underrated, change my mind
Longtime lurker here, Military spouse here. The unemployment rate is 2.5%, which is pretty low. Poverty rate is 4.8%, which is pretty low. Rent is about $1,841/month for a decent place. The median home value here is around $439,500, which is pretty steep. Household incomes average around $120,273 in McKinney. Honestly, I think it's a great place if you know where to look. The suburbs are where most families end up. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus.
Pros:
- Great weather
- Nice parks and trails
- Growing food scene
- Easy commute
- Walkable downtown
Cons:
- Limited nightlife
- High property taxes
- Limited cultural events
