A thriving new home community continues to climb the ranks.
In just a short time, we’ve made a name for ourselves among homebuyers and industry experts alike. Designed to celebrate nature, connection, and community, Painted Tree has quickly become one of the most sought-after places to live in McKinney, TX. And now, two major real estate rankings confirm what our residents already know—this is a truly special place to call home.
According to John Burns Research & Consulting (JBREC), we are the top-selling master-planned community in Dallas-Fort Worth and rank 27th nationwide. Meanwhile, RCLCO places us at No. 30 among the country’s best-selling communities. These rankings reflect not just strong home sales but also the undeniable attraction of a community built around nature, trails, and a sense of belonging.
So, what makes Painted Tree stand out?
For one, it’s the perfect blend of modern living and outdoor adventure. With over 200 acres of preserved open space, nature-woven trails, a scenic lake, and three National Park-inspired community hubs, residents have endless opportunities to explore and connect. The Village Trailhead amenity center is already open and welcoming families, while The Outpost and the Lakeside Trailhead & Pool will open soon, bringing even more vibrancy and gathering opportunities to the neighborhood.
Another reason? Our location. McKinney continues to shine as one of Texas’ most desirable cities, offering top-rated schools, a thriving downtown, and easy access to the best of DFW.
Earning a place on these prestigious lists so quickly is an honor, but this is just the beginning. As we grow, so will our amenities, our trails, and the opportunities for residents to build lasting connections.
With momentum on our side, the best is yet to come.

With major projects announced in Fort Worth and McKinney in the past couple of weeks, Plano-based residential developer and builder Green Brick Partners is grabbing its share of the fast-growing North Texas new home market.
Green Brick will sell its Trophy Signature line at a large, new residential community in McKinney scheduled to launch next year north of U.S. Highway 380 near Lake Forest Boulevard. Green Brick has committed to 570 homesites at that community, called Painted Tree, and hopes to buy enough lots to build about twice that number, said Jed Dolson, chief operating officer for Green Brick Partners.
How much demand are you seeing for homes in the McKinney area, where Painted Tree will be?
Dolson replied “We are seeing very, very strong demand for anything under $400,000 right now. South of (Highway) 380, McKinney is almost completely built out now. So the natural progression is to move north of 380. This is a site where the sellers didn’t want to sell for a long time and now it’s been sold. We’re looking forward to it because it’s a lot closer-in than some of our other projects where we’re seeing really strong demand. We think people will want to live closer in and be closer to the amenities — all the shopping and the neighborhood services that this site has.”
A new community on more than 1,000 acres with 3,400 residences is being developed in McKinney.
Painted Tree will be located north of US 380 near Lake Forest Boulevard, offering houses ranging from detached townhomes and cottages to larger family homes and luxury estates. Oxland Advisors, a Dallas-based development and consulting firm, will develop the community.
“With anything this size, you want to provide homes that fit different demographics, different life stages, different price points,” Oxland founder Tom Woliver said.
“That’s what makes a good community,” Woliver said. “A community shouldn’t be exclusive to one. It needs to be inclusive to all. Really the only way to get through 1,100 acres is to have variety. So you need to have a little bit of something for everyone.”
A New York-based community builder and investor has purchased a huge McKinney development site.

JEN Partners purchased the big residential site from Brinkmann Ranches of Collin County, the longtime owner of the land.
Previous development plans for the property called for more than 3,000 homes.
