Why buyers choose Anna, TX
Anna is a city of about 35,000 in northern Collin County, on US 75 roughly 45 miles north of downtown Dallas. It borders Melissa to the south and Van Alstyne to the north, and its population has more than doubled since 2020.
Anna started as a railroad stop in 1883, and the 1885 Anna Depot still stands downtown. Today it is mostly new subdivisions east and west of US 75, with Walmart, Anna ISD, and the city among the largest employers. Many residents commute south to McKinney, Allen, and Plano.
Median household income is about $105,600, and 78.5% of homes are owner-occupied. Anna ISD enrolls about 6,700 students and is building new campuses from a 2022 bond, so school zoning in newer subdivisions can change.
