Van Alstyne offers an intriguing blend of small-town charm and big-city reach, experiencing annual growth of 8-10% while staying under the radar compared to neighboring communities. This vibrant town sits strategically along US-75, providing direct access to employment hubs like McKinney, Plano, and Dallas, yet retains a small-town character with a population of around 4,000.

For those seeking custom home opportunities, Van Alstyne presents a compelling choice. Land costs here are reasonable, with minimal HOA restrictions, offering more freedom than typically found in the surrounding areas. Buyers looking to build in Van Alstyne value genuine community character and practical living over paying premiums for trendy spots.

The Van Alstyne Independent School District offers high-quality education without the overcrowding issues faced by larger districts. Meanwhile, the historic downtown and regular community events help maintain real small-town appeal, something that newer suburban developments often lack.

At roughly 35 minutes from our headquarters via US-75, Van Alstyne delivers small-town living with big-city access at value-oriented prices, making it an attractive option for homebuyers.
