#85. McKinney
A strong performing arts scene is among the quality-of-life perks in McKinney, a city in northeast Texas that is part of the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. The community features a revitalized McKinney Main Street district, and the city ranks high on many “Best Places to Live” lists. A growing microbrewery scene includes places like Tupps Brewery and Franconia Brewing Co., whose highly-rated Franconia Wheat gets our nod for McKinney.
