How I help
We start with what your current home is worth and plan both moves together, including timing around a build. Your current home gets the full launch, and on the Painted Tree side I compare builders and negotiate. See downsizing.

What downsizing 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.
