McKinney, Texas & Collin County becoming retiree destination.

Team Jernigan had multiple clients last year who are using McKinney as their retirement home or at least one of their retirement homes. I have seen multiple articles recently discussing baby boomers retirement plans. Retirees are rethinking their choices of retirement homes! Some people do not want to locate in communities with only other retirement age people. Some want to be near family to watch grandchildren grow up. Retirees are also more active than they once were. McKinney real estate is very attractive. There is a wide variety of homes that are new and preowned at wide ranging price points. Builders are beginning to look carefully at this growing senior/empty nester demographic in this area. Even very modest new homes can be up graded with ammenities, such as wood floors, granite and stone counters and tile floors, the older buyer is accustomed to having in their homes. Just this weekend I found a new (no houses yet) neighborhood that is going to be able to build fairly large single story homes with three car garages. I also spoke to a builder sales rep who said that her new subdivision is almost equally occupied by retirees, young single professionals and young families with small children. She said her residents are really pleased with the mix of age groups. I also believe that the retirees will provide a base group of residents who are not as likely to be moving every two to four years. McKinney is also attractive to retired residents because it provdes good access to two major airports and all the ammenities of Dallas and Ft. Worth.
