MLS source, pricing method & coverage
Source updated Oct 2, 2026, 1:35 PM Central. Counts use eligible public listings matched to the labeled geography. Sale prices use positive asking prices on Active Residential listings; the median is shown with at least three priced listings. These are asking prices, not sold prices, valuations or all homes in the area. Rentals are counted separately; no rent period is assumed.
Under-contract and pending counts describe records currently in this feed. Location errors and omitted coordinates can affect boundary matches. The initial active-listing import is complete. Different areas can overlap; do not add their counts together.

FROM OUR AUSTIN RESEARCH NETWORK
McKinney: waterfalls, trails and a deeper Texas history
McKinney Falls State Park offers a starting point for exploring this side of Austin: Onion Creek’s limestone ledges, wooded trails and the remains of an early ranch. The state park and the city’s McKinney planning area are different geographies, so use the park’s own maps for a visit.
Austin Texas Things editorial research · imported . Original source check dates appear below.
Choose a trail experience
Texas Parks and Wildlife describes nearly nine miles of trails, including the hard-surfaced Onion Creek Trail and the hikers-only Rock Shelter Trail. Its accessibility page covers all-terrain wheelchair options. [1]
Look beyond the falls
The park’s history traces Indigenous presence, routes associated with El Camino Real de los Tejas and the later McKinney homestead. It also acknowledges the enslaved people whose labor developed the ranch. [2]
A landscape crossed by water
The park guide notes that reaching some trails requires crossing the Lower Falls. Consult current alerts and trail information rather than assuming every route is accessible in all conditions. [1]
Before you visit
Check alerts and entry arrangements
Use the state park’s current alerts, map and reservation information before leaving. Conditions at the creek and access to a particular trail can affect your plan. [1]
Read the falls-area rules
The operator lists restrictions specific to the Upper and Lower Falls areas, including food, glass and pets in the water. Review the complete current rules before packing. [1]
A few local questions
Is McKinney Falls just a swimming stop?
No. The park describes hiking, camping, ranger programs and historical features as well as water-based recreation. Choose an activity using the park’s current guide. [1]
When did McKinney Falls become a public state park?
Texas Parks and Wildlife records a 1970 land donation by the Smith family and the park’s official opening in 1976. [2]

Neighborhoods inside McKinney (planning area)
Each of these sits inside the published boundary this guide describes. Open one to see its own outline, records and homes.
Each neighborhood is placed by testing its own approximate footprint against a published City, Census or municipal boundary, or by matching the name its listings report.

It does not establish shared HOA membership, legal boundaries or services, and county identities stay with each place. Listing counts were recorded on ; open a neighborhood for its current homes.
Keep McKinney (planning area) in your Austin notebook.
Save this area profile alongside your field guides, then compare specific addresses and your own search criteria. An area bookmark records your interest; it is not a property-search boundary.
Start with the available home and its actual lease terms. Confirm the advertised rent period, deposits, recurring fees, pet policies and move-in timing before comparing your total monthly cost.

Details & limits
How many homes here were listed for lease over the past two years comes from closed MLS records, shown to signed-in clients.
Why it can matter
HOA rental rules: some associations cap how many homes may be leased; ask for the HOA’s leasing rules if you may rent the home out later.
Resale comparisons: investor purchases and rentals are part of the same sales and price comparisons as owner-occupied homes.
Turnover: renters move more often than owners on average, so more homes nearby change occupants each year.
Limits
The mailing-address test is a proxy for owner-occupancy, not a list of rentals: owners who get mail at a PO box, a trust, an office or a second home count as "elsewhere", Travis County’s roll shows the prior year’s owner (so recent sales can count either way), and some homes are rented by owners who keep their mail there.
Census ACS figures are 5-year survey estimates with margins of error, and tracts do not follow neighborhood lines.
Not every rental is listed on the MLS, and a listing is counted once per home.
Descriptive only: this is not a rating of the neighborhood and says nothing about who lives here.
