Stonebridge Ranch
McKinney’s landmark master-plan: 6,800 acres with a beach club and aquatic center
Stonebridge Ranch is the largest and most established master-planned community in McKinney, with 6,800 acres, over 30 distinct neighborhoods, a members-only beach club and aquatic center, multiple pools, tennis, and 20+ miles of trails. Built over 30 years, it offers everything from starter homes to estate-level properties within a single community.
Price Range
Broadly $350K to $750K, which is a very wide band because Stonebridge Ranch is thirty-plus neighborhoods built across thirty years rather than one product. The community band tells you little; ask for closed comps in the specific sub-neighborhood, 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 name covers more than thirty neighborhoods built between about 1990 and 2020. Age, dues, covenants, amenity access and school assignment all vary inside it, so almost nothing true of the community is reliably true of a given house.
- You generally pay two associations: the master plus a sub-neighborhood. Budget both, and read both sets of covenants.
- On the older sections the housing stock is now thirty years old and carries the maintenance profile that implies.
- School assignment is not uniform. Most of the community is McKinney ISD but some southern sections are Frisco ISD, and that difference is material to price, so confirm it by address.
- It is a long drive to the Frisco and Plano employment centers, and US-75 and SH-121 are the constraint at peak.
