McKinney, home to ALH’s Heights of WestRidge, has recently been named in the top five places to live in America by CNN. The cities chosen “boast plenty of jobs, great schools, safe streets, low crime, lots to do, charm, and other features that make a town great for raising a family.”
Here is what CNN said about McKinney, ranked five out of 100 top places to live in the U.S.: “Lots of towns near Dallas have low crime, affordable homes, and good jobs; McKinney is no exception. What makes it stand out is its gem of a downtown. Lovingly restored 19th-century buildings house restaurants, boutiques, and galleries; the 1875 courthouse contains a new performing-arts center.
“McKinney’s employment opportunities are robust, sparing many residents a rush-hour drive of up to an hour to Dallas. Defense contractor Raytheon has a 3,700-person division here, and a mix of businesses in financial services, medical technology, and eco-friendly manufacturing are moving in.
“Though McKinney has grown like mad over the past decade, you’d never suspect it when driving through its tree-filled communities surrounded by ponds, parks, and hiking trails.”
The Heights of WestRidge, in the heart of McKinney, is a master-planned community that offers homeowners the opportunity to have convenience, easy access, peace of mind, comfort, and opportunity, all at a great value. Visit the Heights of WestRidge today!
