Quick update on Painted Tree’s next amenity center
The Outpost, the heart and soul of Painted Tree, is progressing nicely. Structures like the two-story tree-top slide are going up. The adventure park and playground are going in. And the whole area should be party-ready before the end of the calendar year. An event celebrating the opening is soon to follow on the Outpost’s covered porch.
If you happen to notice some similarities between The Outpost’s aesthetic and that of our great National Parks, that’s by design. Inspired by our national gathering spaces, in both form and function, the architecture gives the whole area a sense of discovery. Since the site is also the trailhead for both the Woodland Grove and Lakeside trails, it also sparks a sense of adventure.
Take a virtual tour of The Outpost here.
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.
McKinney, Texas, has earned a prestigious spot among the safest cities in America. According to a recent study titled “50 Safest and Most Affordable US Cities To Live In,” Painted Tree’s home city came in at number 15.
The ranking was based on a comprehensive analysis of crime rates and cost of living across the largest U.S. cities. The crime data, sourced from the FBI’s Crime Data Explorer for 2022, shows McKinney’s crime rates are significantly lower than many other cities. McKinney stands out not only for its low crime rates but also for its overall affordability.
This impressive safety record is a testament to the city’s effective law enforcement and community-focused initiatives.
One thing the study doesn’t measure is how friendly the people are. Yet it’s all part of the big picture because when you find a place that’s safe, friendly is sure to follow. Along with a sense of welcome.
In other words, McKinney is an exceptional place to live, and Painted Tree is lucky to be located just 3 miles north of historic downtown. Explore Painted Tree’s variety of homes for sale and you’ll see how beautifully affordability pairs with a welcoming vibe.

Painted Tree is designed to bring people closer to nature, art and especially each other. Whether strolling hand-in-hand by the lake, exploring the trails as a family, splashing down at the Village Trailhead pool with friends or simply chatting with your neighbor on the front porch, togetherness is the natural state of being around here. That’s just the beginning of all the ways we get together.
Painted Tree takes after its hometown of McKinney, Texas. Where people come together for festive occasions large and small. It all started with our Grand Opening Festival and Home Tour last September when thousands from around the region came out to help us launch Painted Tree.
The event featured live music, tasty food, stilt walkers, rock climbing, a crafts fair and the first-of-its-kind ribbon eating ceremony by Taco the Goat, officially welcoming all to the community and into 10 brand new model homes (now 13). By all accounts it was the party of the year.
Then there are the weekly get-togethers organized and hosted by Pam Shields, Painted Tree’s Community Engagement Officer. From Food Truck Fridays and weekly happy hours to seasonal gatherings like the recent Spring Break Craftopia, the lifestyle program is designed around the residents themselves and what they really enjoy.
The vibrancy highlights an undeniable sense of community, which gets stronger every day. As Painted Tree grows so will the variety of things to do and the number of fun-loving people that do it. And always together.

At Painted Tree, we find inspiration in our unique natural landscape and the creative vibe of our beloved hometown, McKinney, Texas. Pam Shields, our new Community Engagement Officer who will lead the way in activating our trailside community, finds inspiration in our residents themselves.
“My first priority is to begin engaging with and getting to know the residents,” Pam says. “They are the community and their interests and diverse needs will drive our community programming as we continue to grow.”
“Although I come to the job with lots of experience and ideas, I will incorporate what I am learning from the residents with the team’s concept of a back-to-nature, wellness-focused community.”
Wellness is something Pam knows a lot about as a competitive soccer player from the age of 12 and as a two-decades-long business owner in the fitness industry. Which let her put her degree in Business Administration from Youngstown University to work for herself after signing off from an 18-year career in the corporate world.
Like many of Painted Tree’s residents, Pam didn’t grow up in the area. “I decided to move to Texas when my youngest daughter, who lives in Allen, had a baby.”
Moving is something Pam grew accustomed to at an early age. “My dad was in the military, so we moved around a lot, in and out of the country.” However, she was able to call Colorado home for 17 years. She even adopted the Denver Broncos as her favorite sports team.
In addition to sports, Pam is an amateur photographer, although lately most of her photography focuses on her grandkids. She also loves reading and traveling, which explains her outgoing personality and natural curiosity. “I love exploring new countries and cultures.”
It sounds like Painted Tree’s residents are in good hands with Pam. “To be responsible for the development of a community engagement program that revolves around wellness, nature and creativity is very exciting,” she says.
Pam Shields’ fun facts:
Favorite movie: Shawshank Redemption
Favorite band or music genre: “I love most music but if I must choose one it would be jazz.”
Favorite animal: Dog
Favorite tree: Oak
Favorite sports team: Denver Broncos
Favorite ice cream: Butter Pecan
Pineapple on pizza, yes or no: NO!
Let’s give a warm, Painted Tree welcome to our new Community Engagement Officer, Pam. We encourage Painted Tree residents to reach out and get to know Pam, too. She will be the go-to person for all things related to life at Painted Tree. Pam can be reached at pshields@ccmcnet.com.
Already among the nation’s best-selling communities and rising.
When we set out to create Painted Tree, we found inspiration in the natural beauty of our land, the artful vibe of McKinney, Texas, and the simple joy of getting together. It turns out, Painted Tree’s vision resonates with a lot of people because we suddenly find our little trailside community ranked among the country’s most popular places to buy a new home, according to two different studies.
Painted Tree is number 48 in RCLCO’s Top-Selling Master Planned Communities of 2023. Then, Painted Tree jumps up to 36th place in a similar list by John Burns Research & Consulting. To be recognized by the industry’s top voices is an honor and to be ranked among well-known and long-established communities in our grand opening year is humbling. But to be discovered by so many families who share our values so quickly is truly a blessing.
Of course, it helps that Painted Tree is located in McKinney. And that our builders are crafting a variety of the most beautiful homes in Texas connected to over 200 acres of trail-woven natural space including a lake and three National Park-inspired community centers. One of which—Village Trailhead—is now open and being enjoyed by our first residents. The Outpost is scheduled to open later this year and the Lakeside Trailhead & Pool after that, along with miles of new trails, making Painted Tree an even more desirable place to live.
Stay tuned, this is getting good.
At Painted Tree, we believe in the healing power of nature. (We’re a trailside community, after all.) So it only made sense for us to partner with a charity that feels the same way. ManeGait is a McKinney-based, nationally recognized, therapeutic riding center that teaches horsemanship to children and adults with disabilities. Learn more about the big difference they’re making in the lives of so many and the support Painted Tree is proud to provide.
Studies show that simply taking a walk can make you happier. Isn’t that something? By putting one foot in front of the other, even for a mile or two, our brains deliver much-appreciated bursts of endorphins, dopamine and serotonin to help boost our moods. Luckily, Painted Tree has 25 miles of interlacing trails guaranteed to make you smile.
We’re talking nine miles of planned single-track and natural-surface trails. Ten miles of paved pathways. And a signature greenway two-lane bike path that circles Painted Tree Lake.
But it’s more than trails. It’s also the exciting things to see and do alongside them. From sparkling water to mature woodlands, open-air pool houses to community gathering spaces, there’s no shortage of fun and inspiration to be had. And they all lead right to your front door.
While we don’t like to play favorites, we must say that our lake loop trail tops our list. (Especially now that the bridge completing the loop is almost finished!) Here, all residents may enjoy miles of paved paths gracefully hugging the water’s shores. But those who call the Lakeside District home will be mere steps away — all day, every day.
Sound like pure bliss? Then you’ll want to see what Normandy Homes is up to. This award-winning homebuilder is currently crafting single-family homes just a short bike ride or walk to the water, starting from the mid $500s. They have a model to tour and quick move-in homes ready now (or very soon).
