Trinity Falls in one sheetBuilders, resales, and your real payment
Six builders are selling in Trinity Falls and resales come up every week. Tell PJ your budget, home size, and timeline. He sends current builder pricing, quick move in homes, matching resales, and the monthly payment with the MUD tax included.
Register PJ before your first model visit. Builders usually only pay a buyer agent who is registered on day one. PJ costs you nothing.
MUD tax built into every payment. Trinity Falls is outside the City of McKinney tax roll, so the rate is different from most of McKinney.

Trinity Falls sits along the East Fork of the Trinity River in north McKinney, a few minutes west of US 75. Construction started in 2013, the first homes closed around 2014, and Johnson Development has run the community since 2016. The plan covers about 2,000 acres and roughly 5,000 homes, so building will continue for years.
The draw is space and amenities at a price below south McKinney. More than 450 acres are set aside as open space, including the 350 acre B.B. Owen Park, and about 20 miles of trails run through the neighborhoods. Two amenity centers, a lifestyle team, and neighborhood retail make it feel like a small town of its own.
Buyers have a lot of choice. Resales from the first phases sit next to brand new homes on 35 to 60 ft lots, Chesmar is pre selling courtyard homes, and Del Webb offers a 55+ neighborhood with its own clubhouse. That mix is why Trinity Falls had more sales than any other McKinney community on this site in the last year.
The trade off is the tax bill. Trinity Falls is outside the City of McKinney tax roll and inside a municipal utility district, so the 2025 rate is about 2.32 percent instead of the roughly 1.75 to 1.85 percent common elsewhere in McKinney ISD. PJ prices that into every payment before you pick a plan.

Del Webb is advertising $20,000 to $35,000 in savings on move in ready homes, and other Trinity Falls builders run rate buydowns and closing cost credits. With a MUD tax in the payment, a lower rate is not always better than a lower price. PJ runs both so you see the real monthly number.

Ridgeline offers new construction in McKinney with different builder collections. A community name does not tell you which features are included in a particular home. Compare lot dimensions, the final floor plan, standard finishes, upgrade costs and closing dates before deciding.
Grand Homes
Ask which plans and inventory homes are available, what is included, and which options affect the final purchase price.
Ridgeline Without PID or MUD: Compare the Full Cost
Grand Homes advertises Ridgeline with no PID or MUD tax. Verify the individual property’s tax entities and title disclosures. Regular property taxes, insurance and HOA dues still apply. On a new build, ask for an estimate based on the completed home rather than the vacant lot.
What does the incentive actually cover?
Ask for written terms, eligible homes, lender requirements and closing deadlines. A temporary rate buydown, permanent rate reduction, closing-cost credit and price reduction affect your budget differently. Compare the lender’s Loan Estimate and total cash to close.
What is open today?
Ask the builder to identify operating amenities separately from planned amenities. Confirm school attendance boundaries for the home’s address directly with the school district.
Which features are included?
The home features pictured above are examples. Finishes, appliances, security systems, landscaping and outdoor features vary by builder and property. Use the written specifications for the home you are buying.
