Buying a home in Painted Tree
Ready before we look: pre-approval, a straight budget and a focused search, then every step to closing.
Buying a home in Painted Tree
Buying a home in Painted Tree gets you new construction without the bare-dirt look most new communities have. The developer kept the mature trees, wetlands and creek areas, and the community sits on the US 380 corridor, closer to downtown McKinney than most new construction.
It's divided into three districts, Woodland, Village and Lakeside, with townhomes, cottage-style, single-family and luxury homes from the low $400s to over $1,000,000 (as of September 2026).

How I help
With ten builders, the hard part is comparing them fairly. Base price, included features, lot premiums and incentives all differ. I line them up side by side. I've worked in new construction sales, so I know what to ask. Bring me before your first model home visit. See new construction in Painted Tree.
I also check school zoning for the specific lot: Painted Tree is split between McClure and Minshew Elementary, Cockrill and Johnson Middle, and McKinney Boyd and McKinney North High.
What you're trading
Your own yard starts young, the neighbors' yards aren't finished, and the community is still filling in. If you want a finished neighborhood nearby, compare Ridgecrest.

What buying a home looks like in Painted Tree
New construction on the US 380 corridor, where the developer kept the mature trees, creeks and wetlands.
- The homes
- A fairly new community divided into three districts: Woodland, Village and Lakeside. Townhomes, cottage-style homes, single-family and luxury homes, plus a rental neighborhood. Prices run from the low $400s to over $1,000,000 (as of September 2026). Builders as of September 2026: Bloomfield, CB JENI, Centre Living, Coventry, David Weekley, Drees, Normandy, Southgate, Tri Pointe and Trophy Signature.
- Why people choose it
- Buyers after a modern kitchen, an open floor plan, an office, game or media rooms, energy efficiency and a builder warranty. The developer deliberately kept the mature trees, wetlands, creek areas and other natural features, which is unusual for new construction.
- Schools
- The community is large enough to be zoned to several schools: McClure and Minshew Elementary, Cockrill and Johnson Middle, and McKinney Boyd and McKinney North High School. Check the zoning for the specific address.
- Getting around
- On the US 380 corridor, closer to downtown McKinney and with easier access to the highways.
- Nearby
- A 20-acre stocked pond, a walking trail system, pools, and Outpost Park (11.5 acres).
- The trade-off
- Buyers give up mature landscaping, established yards, and the predictability of a community that is already finished.
