Trading up into new construction in Trinity Falls
Selling your first home and buying the next with one timeline, so you're never stuck in between.
Trading up in Trinity Falls
Trading up in Trinity Falls means moving into new construction with an open floor plan and one of the longest amenity lists in McKinney. The timing is the tricky part, because a build has its own schedule and your current home has to sell in step with it.
Timing a sale with a build
I plan both sides together: when to list your current home so you aren't carrying two payments for long, and when the new home will realistically close. Your current home gets three pricing strategies, staging advice, professional and drone photos, a listing video, Coming Soon and ads targeting the local market around the listing. See trading up.
In the math
The MUD tax raises carrying costs, and the commute to Plano, Legacy West, Frisco or Dallas is longer. B.B. Owen Park, a 350-acre natural park, is close by. If you'd rather have mature trees, compare Stonebridge Ranch.

What trading up looks like in Trinity Falls
New construction on McKinney's north side with lakes and trails, B.B. Owen Park close by, and Frazier Elementary on site.
- The homes
- A newer community that is still being built, so buyers get choices: townhomes, several lot options and a variety of builders, with builder incentives and more energy-efficient homes. Del Webb at Trinity Falls, a 55+ community with its own clubhouse and pool, sits inside it.
- Why people choose it
- Buyers who want the amenities, new construction and open floor plans. The community is built around an outdoor lifestyle: pools, splash pads, lakes, trails, a dog park, event space and a fitness room, plus an onsite lifestyle director who coordinates over 75 events a year.
- Schools
- Frazier Elementary is inside the community. It is zoned to Johnson Middle School and McKinney North High School (McKinney ISD).
- Getting around
- Further north than most of McKinney, so the drive is longer, especially for anyone commuting to Plano, Legacy West, Frisco or Dallas.
- Nearby
- B.B. Owen Park, one of the main draws: a 350-acre natural park with wooded trails, lakes, an amphitheater and an 18-hole disc golf course.
- The trade-off
- Buyers give up a shorter commute and the mature landscaping of older neighborhoods. Trinity Falls has a MUD tax, so property taxes and carrying costs run higher than in a neighborhood without one.
