Craig Ranch homes, close to everything on 121
Single-family homes, townhomes, condos and golf course homes near SH 121, home to TPC Craig Ranch.
Living in Craig Ranch
People buy Craig Ranch homes for one reason above all others: location. Craig Ranch sits on the south side of McKinney close to SH 121, which puts Frisco and its restaurants, entertainment and jobs a lot closer than they are from the rest of the city.
It also feels different from the rest of McKinney. It's more urban. Restaurants, entertainment, medical facilities, sports facilities and commercial development are all nearby, so a lot of daily errands are a short drive instead of a trip across town.
TPC Craig Ranch is here too, and it hosts PGA tournaments. For a lot of buyers, that's a draw all by itself.

How I help buyers and sellers in Craig Ranch
Craig Ranch has the widest mix of buyers of any community I work in McKinney, because it has the widest mix of homes. A first-time buyer looking at a condo, a couple trading up into a single-family home and a luxury buyer on the golf course can all be shopping here in the same week. I start every Craig Ranch search by narrowing down which kind of home fits, then which part of the community.
For sellers, that mix means your competition depends entirely on what you own. A townhome competes with townhomes, and a golf course home competes with a very small group of other golf course homes. I price against the homes your buyer will actually compare yours to. See selling a home in Craig Ranch, or buying your first home in Craig Ranch.
Craig Ranch homes: townhomes to golf course
Craig Ranch was built from 2002 to 2023, so the homes are a bit newer than a lot of McKinney. The housing is also more varied than most master-planned communities:
- Single-family homes
- Townhomes
- Condos
- Luxury homes
- Golf course properties
That range is what makes Craig Ranch work for so many kinds of buyers, and it's also why comparing two Craig Ranch listings can be apples to oranges.
The trade-off: you give up the mature landscaping of McKinney's older neighborhoods, and you get a more urban feel. If you want bigger trees and a quieter setting, look at Stonebridge Ranch or Ridgecrest.

Craig Ranch schools: check the district
This is the one thing I tell every Craig Ranch buyer up front. Craig Ranch is inside the city of McKinney, but not all of it is in McKinney ISD. Some parts of the community are zoned to other school districts.
That surprises people, and it matters for both buyers and sellers. Before you fall for a house, I check the district and the assigned schools for that exact address.
