Tucker Hill
New urbanist design with front porches, village streets, and McKinney charm
Tucker Hill is McKinney’s new urbanist neighborhood, a community designed around walkability, front-porch living, alley-loaded garages, and a village green. Inspired by traditional neighborhood design principles, it is one of the few places in North Texas where sidewalk culture, neighborhood parks, and human-scale streets come together in a genuinely affordable package.
Price Range
Broadly $350K to $600K depending on size, plan and condition. Ask for closed comps inside the neighborhood, with an as-of month.

The trade-offs a listing will not mention. None of these are reasons not to buy here; they are the things worth pricing in.
- New-urbanist design comes with new-urbanist rules. Architectural and parking covenants are more restrictive than a conventional subdivision, and they are what keeps the streets looking the way they do.
- Lots are small and houses sit close together. The trade for the front porches and the village green is private yard space.
- Alley-loaded garages keep cars off the front street and put the daily approach to your house down an alley, which affects deliveries, bin collection and how much room a large vehicle has.
- The homes date from roughly 2005 to 2018, so the older half is entering the range where roofs and HVAC come due.
- It is a drive to the Frisco and Plano employment corridors, and McKinney ISD assignment should be confirmed by address rather than by neighborhood.

- Stonebridge RanchMcKinney’s landmark master-plan: 6,800 acres with a beach club and aquatic centerBroadly $350K to $750K, which is a very wide band because Stonebridge Ranch is thirty-plus neighborhoods built across thirty years rather than one product.

- AdriaticaMcKinney’s European-inspired village: walkable, unique, and unlike anything else in DFWBroadly $450K to $900K. Adriatica is small and its homes are unusual, so the comparable set is thin and a valuation here depends heavily on which sales get used. Ask for closed comps inside the community, with an as-of month.
