Craig Ranch
Golf-course master-plan on the McKinney-Frisco border with TPC-level amenities
Craig Ranch is a 2,200-acre master-planned community built around the TPC Craig Ranch golf course, host to the PGA Tour's CJ Cup Byron Nelson. It sits on the McKinney-Frisco border, and that border is the point: the homes carry a McKinney address and city tax line while most sections are zoned to Frisco ISD. Buyers come for that combination, and it is also the thing that most needs checking address by address, because the district boundary runs through the community rather than around it.
Price Range
Broadly $400K to $850K across sections, builders and vintages. Sections differ enough that the band is only a starting point; ask for closed comps in the specific section, with an as-of month.

Check these before you offer
The trade-offs a listing will not mention. None of these are reasons not to buy here; they are the things worth pricing in.
- The Frisco ISD assignment is the main reason people buy here and it is not uniform. The district line runs through the community, so it must be confirmed for the exact address in writing, not inferred from the section name or a neighbor.
- The golf course is not an amenity your dues buy. TPC Craig Ranch membership is separate and additional, and tournament week brings closures, traffic and crowds.
- The community was built across two decades, so a 2004 house and a 2021 house sit inside the same name with very different maintenance profiles and finishes.
- Dues are toward the higher end for the area, and some sections carry a sub-association on top of the master.
- A McKinney address means McKinney city taxes and services even where the schools are Frisco ISD. Price the actual taxing units rather than assuming Frisco's.
