The Dallas area has already proved it's one of the hottest destinations for Americans on the move, but a new study has revealed one neighboring city to be a standout: McKinney, the primo of Collin County, has attracted the eighth-highest number of new residents of any studied U.S. city in 2025.

McKinney's 75071 ZIP code ranked No. 8 on MovingPlace's new list of the 10 most popular U.S. ZIP codes for movers in 2025.

The report analyzed more than 6.38 million moves that occurred between January and May 2025, and ranked the U.S. cities that had the most moves by ZIP code.

During the first five months of the year, McKinney's 75071 ZIP had 2,895 inbound moves, the eighth-highest number of moves out of all ZIP codes in the nation.

The report says the booming suburb is a suitable place for families and young professionals based on its quiet lifestyle, its historic downtown district, and its proximity to Dallas for commuters.

"McKinney offers a mix of old-town character and modern growth, attracting residents who want a strong sense of community with access to city jobs," the report's author wrote. "The city has big plans, with a host of multi-billion-dollar projects in the works, including a massive mixed‑use district, adventure park, and a JW Marriott resort."

There's so much more to love about McKinney, such as its affordability and its high safety rating. The North Dallas neighbor was also ranked the No. 1 best city for renters earlier in 2025. It also just topped WalletHub's ranking as the No. 1 real estate market in 2025.

Dallas-Fort Worth led Texas in sales of million-dollar homes in 2025

This home at 10316 Bel Aire Dr. in Dallas' Lake Highlands neighborhood is on the market for $1.1 million.

A new luxury real estate report reveals Texas broke a record for the highest number of million-dollar homes sold from November 2024 to October 2025, and Dallas-Fort Worth boasted the largest share of million-dollar home sales statewide.

A total of 14,418 Texas homes were sold for at least $1 million last year, generating a record-breaking $24.5 billion, according to Texas Realtors' 2025 Texas Sales of Million-Dollar Homes Report. The number of luxury home sales in the state soared 12 percent compared to the previous year.

Million-dollar home sales in Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington made up 38 percent of all luxury home sale transactions in Texas during the 12-month period, the report found. The total sales dollar volume of DFW homes that sold for $1 million or more added up to about $9.7 billion.

Nearly 5,500 million-dollar homes were sold in the North Texas Metroplex at an average price of $402 per square foot. For comparison, the average price per square foot for all residential homes in Dallas-Fort Worth was $204.

Both figures are not far from the statewide average, according to Texas Realtors.

"The average price per square foot of $1 million+ homes increased to $423 from $418 last year and was more than double the $188 average price per square foot of all Texas homes," the report said.

Dallas-Fort Worth luxury homes are also more than twice the size of the typical residential home in the region. A million-dollar home in DFW spanned 4,284 square feet, compared to 2,096 median square feet for all residential homes in the metro.

"High-end homes continue to be a small but mighty segment of the market," said Texas Realtors chairman Jennifer Wauhob in a press release. "Texans remain confident in the value of these properties, whether they are drawn to outstanding amenities, prime locations, or both."

Elsewhere in Texas, Houston-Pasadena-The Woodlands saw the second-highest share of million-dollar home sales in Texas, at 27 percent, followed by Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos (19 percent), the rest of Texas (11 percent), and San Antonio-New Braunfels (5 percent).
