Melissa neighborhoods: an easy commute on 75
Newer construction right on US 75 with an easy commute, in a town that's still filling in.
Living in Melissa
Melissa neighborhoods sit right on US 75, and that's the first thing people like about them. The commute south toward McKinney, Allen and beyond is straightforward.
Melissa is still filling in. Grocery stores and restaurants are only now arriving, and the town will keep developing for a while. If you like the idea of getting in before everything is built, that's part of the appeal.

How I help buyers and sellers in Melissa
A lot of Melissa buyers started out shopping in Frisco or McKinney and were priced out. Melissa gives them newer homes and an easy commute. Because so much of it is newer construction, I help buyers compare builders and resale side by side, so they know what they're really getting for the money. See buying your first home in Melissa or buying new construction in Melissa.
Sellers here often compete with builders. Start with what your Melissa home is worth, or see how I sell in Melissa.
Melissa homes and prices
Melissa is mostly newer construction. Prices have risen over the years, so it isn't as affordable as it used to be. Buyers looking for the lower price point are now moving a little further north to Anna.
What you give up choosing Melissa
For now, choice: fewer shops and restaurants than the towns to the south, though that's changing.
There's also a landfill in the area. Most days you would never know it's there, but once in a while, when the wind is right, you may notice it. I'd rather you hear that from me than find out after closing.
Melissa schools
Melissa is served by Melissa ISD. I confirm the district and assigned schools for every address before you make an offer.
