About
The Concept of "New Urbanism"
There was a time in America when the essence of “community”
embraced all facets of life, knitting the elements of home, work,
and play into the greater fabric of society. As cities sprawled,
however, the community moved out. Suburbs flourished, and developers
began revitalizing the city to bring the community back.
The concept of “New Urbanism” sprung from this revitalization,
blending residential, commercial, and recreational features into
a defined “community”.
The Next Step: Craig Ranch
Craig Ranch takes “New Urbanism” one step further. Instead
of accepting the problems inherent in an aging, urban cityscape,
Craig International cast the essential elements into a community
from the ground floor up – a more complete, personal design
without limits.
Building this vision on the rolling hills of McKinney, Texas, just
north of Dallas, Craig International carefully renders the details
of home, work, and play into a grander vision, crowned by amazing
elements not possible in a typical urban environment.
The centerpiece of the community is the PGA TOUR Tournament Players
Club at Craig Ranch,which recently received the second highest rating
in the US by the United States Golf Association and the highest
rating of all courses in the Tournament Players Club network. Add to that, the world-renowned Cooper Clinic, the world-class Cooper Fitness Center and Spa, a 75 acre baseball
and softball tournament facility, a multi-field soccer complex,
restaurants, shopping, and more - and Craig Ranch becomes more than
a self-sustaining community. It’s a destination.
Spacious estate home sites line the golf course, and along with
other single-family homes, stately villas, and urban-style townhomes,
Craig Ranch provides a mix of residential options. Craig Ranch also
has it's own transportation system – The Craig Ranch Trolleys
– which offer easy access to all areas of the community, both
for Craig Ranch residents and those working in the bustling urban
center and employment district.
