New construction near Ridgecrest
If you're looking for new construction near Ridgecrest, you won't find it inside the neighborhood. Ridgecrest was built from 2004 to 2011 and is finished. The nearest new construction is Painted Tree, also on the US 380 corridor.
How the two compare
Ridgecrest: finished, mostly two-story brick by builders including Highland and Drees, offices and media rooms, front-entry garages, an active social committee, no construction around you.
Painted Tree: new homes from ten builders as of September 2026, builder warranties and incentives, better energy efficiency, and preserved trees and creeks, but young yards and a neighborhood still filling in.
Painted Tree isn't the only option. McKinney has other communities with new construction too, including Trinity Falls, and what's available changes as builders open and sell out phases. Tell me what you're looking for, and I'll show you what's building right now.

What new construction looks like in Ridgecrest
Mostly two-story brick homes built 2004 to 2011, with offices, game rooms and media rooms, near US 380.
- The homes
- Traditional North Texas style, mostly two-story brick, built 2004 to 2011 by builders including Highland and Drees. Most homes have an office, a game room and a media room. The land has some roll to it rather than being flat, and the homes all have front-entry garages.
- Why people choose it
- Usually move-up buyers who want a home that is newer but not brand new, in a neighborhood that is already established. Amenities include a community pool, playground, greenbelts, a dog park and a large green space for games and social events. The social committee is active, with lots going on around the holidays.
- Schools
- McKinney ISD: McClure Elementary, Cockrill Middle School and McKinney North High School.
- Getting around
- Close to Highway 380 for easy access.
- Nearby
- Many restaurants and entertainment options close by.
- The trade-off
- Buying in Ridgecrest means giving up new construction and builder incentives, and the homes are not as energy efficient as new builds.
