Equestrian Properties
in McKinney, Fairview & Lucas

McKinney, Fairview, and Lucas sit just north of Dallas and Collin County. These communities combine rural charm with access to top-tier schools, shopping, and healthcare. For horse owners, the draw is the availability of acreage properties with equestrian amenities—without giving up proximity to the Metroplex. They’re part of a broader North Texas market that offers a range of equestrian properties across the Dallas–Fort Worth area.

McKinney offers a mix of custom homes on large lots, small horse-friendly subdivisions, and country estates. Many properties feature barns, fenced pastures, and direct access to riding trails. You’ll also find new construction homes on acreage and renovated older farmhouses converted for modern living. McKinney ISD’s strong reputation adds value for families who want both a rural lifestyle and good schools.

Fairview is known for its spacious estates on one to five acres. It’s a prime choice for those who want a quieter lifestyle while staying minutes from major shopping at places like Fairview Town Center. Properties here often include stables, tack rooms, and arenas—ideal for serious equestrians. Lovejoy ISD, one of the top-rated school districts in Texas, covers most of Fairview, adding to its appeal.

Lucas has long been a top choice for equestrian buyers. Large lots and a strong equine culture set it apart. Many neighborhoods allow horses, and some even back up to riding trails or open spaces. Properties often include custom barns, fenced paddocks, and turnout areas. Most homes fall within Lovejoy ISD, giving buyers another reason to choose Lucas. Buyers comparing Lucas with other horse-friendly communities often also consider Argyle, Bartonville, and Aubrey, which share many of the same equestrian amenities.
