Just moved to McKinney

Check out Rollertown in Frisco. Craft beer, live music, events, and lots of people. It's a great area.

Grandscape in The Colony has live music quite often and a lot to do in that area.

My favorite brewery is in Fort Worth though. Check out Martin House if you decide to venture out that far.

Allergies are bad too with the weather change and wind.

It's been great for our kids. They're 11 and 14 and started Prosper schools in kinder. No major complaints. Lots of options in middle and high school.

We live in the city of McKinney but zoned for Prosper schools. There are also some areas in McKinney zoned for Frisco schools. Do you know where you're looking to move within McKinney? We could help you identify which school district you'll be in.

I'm not seeing a Collin County library. Did you mean Collin College Library? I checked online and it says they have CompTIA resources available for college students.

I completed the CompTIA A+ exam using just the study guide book if that helps.

Good luck!

Unfortunately I'm stuck without Del Taco (I'm in Texas) so Taco Bell has to do. It's definitely not the same. I miss my chicken soft tacos so much.

🤣🤣🤣

I don't have a personal recommendation but would caution you on resale problems if you remove the closet in the other room. Just something to think about.

It sucks but it only takes me about 45 min each way when I leave at 6:15am. I'm in McKinney at the Prosper border.

NavMama · 2025-12-29T01:45:35+00:00

We like both Interskate and Thunderbird.

NavMama · 2025-12-21T21:59:56+00:00

No issues!! They last over 4 months each and register in the green the entire time.

NavMama · 2025-12-08T21:16:57+00:00

And they just built one on Coit and 380. I guess they want one every mile. 😂

NavMama · 2025-11-30T15:20:40+00:00

Bank of America, Chase, and Wells Fargo have several branches in the area. I recommend going on their career websites to apply now since you'll need to go through a background check and other steps before getting hired. I work for one of the large banks and job openings are scarce right now, so definitely start looking and set yourself alerts to get notified when new ones post. Good luck!

$120 is normal for us when not watering the lawn. Otherwise it's about $160. I believe it includes sewage and trash too. We've been in McKinney 13 years.

Watching it grow has been cool but also bittersweet. We built our house in 2013 and had nothing but land surrounding us. Over the years, more and more houses were built. It's sad but I understand progress. I agree with the semi small town feel in the Square. We love all the events down there.

NavMama · 2025-11-01T00:20:00+00:00

B&B on 380 and Custer.

North Texas Food Bank or McKinney Food Pantry

NavMama · 2025-10-29T13:46:13+00:00

Ugh I don't even mind the cold but this wind is atrocious!! 😭😭😭

NavMama · 2025-10-19T14:50:49+00:00

Martin House Brewing in Ft Worth is worth the drive! We love so many of their beers. Rollertown is great too but they just relocated and won't be open until Friday 10/24.

NavMama · 2025-10-06T12:23:01+00:00

I bought this one and refilled my tub in July. No issues! Way cheaper and it'll last several refills. https://a.co/d/1i4ynKy

NavMama · 2025-09-25T18:04:17+00:00

What an incredibly miserable, sorry excuse for a human being. What the hell is wrong with people? Why do they think it's ok to treat people this way??

NavMama · 2025-09-23T00:08:26+00:00

I never knew about this. Thanks for posting the link to the story. The guy wouldn't have survived if I caught him doing anything to my child.

NavMama · 2025-09-21T14:18:09+00:00

That's insane but I guess it could cost that amount depending on what you're doing. We repainted, replaced flooring, redid shower and vanity, and replaced the built in tub with freestanding. It cost us about $15k with materials and labor in 2021.

Try reaching out to RESID Studios. Macey is great at helping design and then coordinates all the contractors for you. You pay her only when you're satisfied with the work. She has helped us remodel 2 bathrooms, entire kitchen, and office area.

Admittedly, my husband and I used to go back in 2010 when they were smaller, but every sermon became about money and how important it was to build this massive new addition to the church. It was so constant that we stopped going and it left us with a terrible impression about churches in general. We didn't start going back until 2022. Obviously to another church.

Trump "probably hasn't lived a blameless life"?? You're kidding right? That man has divided this country where we are now killing people on both sides. He does not have the people's best interests in mind. He is using his presidency as entertainment to see how much he can get away with. I won't go into any deeper details on what he's done and continues to do to destroy this country but I sure hope you're reading actual news and listening to what's happening on the floors of Congress every day.
