Turns out a lot of people are quickly discovering Painted Tree and deciding to call our trailside community in McKinney, Texas, home. Although we’re only in our second year of existence, Painted Tree was recently ranked #39 in the nation by RCLCO as a top-selling community, and #2 in North Texas. But why Painted Tree? Well, we think it’s a combination of things.

1. Diverse Home Options

One of the main things contributing to Painted Tree’s popularity is its variety of new homes. Something for everyone. The community offers a range of architectural styles by 12 trusted homebuilders—each contributing to the range of housing options—townhomes, single-family homes, and homes for lease in all shapes and sizes starting from the $400s. 

2. Exceptional Amenities

Take a walk inspired through the woods and by the water. Your home, here, gives you access to Painted Tree’s nature-forward plan and top-notch amenities. Most notably, the beautifully wild trails that connect you to Painted Tree lake and the Village Trailhead pool and playground. And (as of this writing) the soon-to-be-open Outpost, where events of all kinds are sure to bring the community together and the Lakeside Trailhead pool coming in 2025.

3. Prime Location

Situated in McKinney, Texas, the community benefits from the city’s creative vibe and sense of community. Painted Tree is just three short miles from historic downtown, so great chef-run restaurants, boutique shops and art galleries, cultural events and live music are just minutes away. Not to mention nearby employment hubs.

4. Quality of Life

The ranking of Painted Tree as a top-selling community reflects the high quality of life offered here. With a focus on creating a harmonious nature-rich, trail-woven environment, Painted Tree promotes well-being and a sense of community among its residents. And this is just the beginning. New amenities and trails are expected to open later this year. In 2025 and even more home choices are coming, too.  

What this means for you

Being ranked #39 in the nation by RCLCO is not just a number it’s a testament to the community’s appeal. The eye test. And proof that it’s a great place to live. If you’re looking to buy a home, this ranking signals that Painted Tree is a place you might want to consider. And, of course, we’d love to have you out for a visit. To explore the model homes and ride the trails. You’re always welcome.
