 CRAIG RANCH
McKinney, Texas
Wake up and take a five-minute walk to a nearby café for coffee and the morning newspaper. When you’ve finished the paper, walk three blocks to work. At day’s end, call the family and meet them for dinner at a local bistro just a few blocks away. On the weekend, go to the corner movie theatre or let the kids walk to the local family entertainment center.
This is the concept behind Craig Ranch, a 1850-acre development that received the 2001 American Planning Association (Texas Chapter) Projected Planning Award and was a finalist in the Dallas Business Journal “Best Real Estate Deals of 2002” awards. Conveniently located on Highway 121 with access from Custer Road and FM-720, Craig Ranch is northeast of the four corners of McKinney, Allen, Plano and Frisco in Collin County.
Using the “New Urbanism” concepts that include strategically placed town centers, Craig Ranch will connect houses, apartments loft living, retail stores and light industry to bring back the American tradition of friendly, self-sustaining communities. Neighborhoods will provide people’s basic needs in a traditional town setting and increase mobility while reducing reliance on automobiles. Followers of this “Old Style” development, with its narrow streets and wide walkways relish the corner stores and public squares that brought out the greatness of an earlier America.
Because the development plan anticipates using nationally recognized builders and has the advantage of a large landmass, the Craig Ranch Architecture will vary in style and design while still maintaining the local town center concept. The Craig Ranch plan includes dedicated parks, greenways, hiking and biking trails and a PGA TOUR Tournament Players Club golf course (www.tpcatcraigranch.com). Other recreational amenities such as baseball and softball fields (www.theballfields.com) will be a natural development as the area matures.
