Stonebridge Ranch offers a built-in social community

Stonebridge Ranch offers the elegance of a master-planned community that's covered every detail. With nearly 20 miles of trails, pools, tennis courts, parks and lakes sprinkled throughout the McKinney, Texas neighborhood, there’s no shortage of natural beauty and recreational opportunities. Newcomers can expect a full social calendar from day one, with regular community events including bingo games and book clubs. “You know that you’re going to be in a beautiful community no matter what if you’re in Stonebridge,” says local Realtor Christy Oakes, a Managing Partner of the Kraft-Oakes Team at RE/MAX Four Corners. “The HOA there does an amazing job of maintaining the entire community to a very high level of pristine landscaping and water features and gardens.”

Tom Allen Jr. Park is a 6 acre neighborhood park located in Craig Ranch. The park features a large pavillion with picnic tables and grill.

Stonebridge Ranch’s curb appeal

Home seekers will find a wealth of traditional-style homes built from the 1990s to the modern day in Stonebridge Ranch. “Some are very elaborate, almost castle-like,” Oakes says. They typically feature brick or a mix of brick and stone exteriors with good-sized lots and plenty of mature oak trees amid neat landscaping. The sidewalk-lined streets meet up with spacious driveways leading to built-in garages. Houses are more expensive here than in the rest of McKinney, but they’re usually larger. Homebuyers can expect to find three-bedroom homes in the $400,000 range, while five-bedroom homes run upwards of $800,000.
