We have a Celina address but we are actually closer to McKinney, Anna, Weston, and Melissa. US 75 is primary north-south highway and the new Collin County Outer Loop is the primary west-east highway.
To find us with your GPS, search for "River Valley Place McKinney". When you arrive, we have two entryways, the first you'll see (gravel) leads to the Game Barn and overflow parking areas. The second entrance (concrete) past the game courts is the main entrance for the houses - enter there!
US 75, Highway 5, US 380, 121 Sam Rayburn Highway, and the Collin County Outer Loop will be you primary highways for travel in the area. For quick shopping and dining, Melissa, Anna, and McKinney offer just about anything you might want. Be sure to visit Buc-ee's while you here! We love their walnut fudge and sweet roasted nuts.

Septic System - important
There are on-site septic systems for sewage in use at River Valley Place.
Please be very careful to send absolutely nothing down the drain except waste and toilet paper. No diapers, wipes, paper towels, plastic, trash, feminine products, q-tips, etc. – these items do very serious damage to septic systems.
The kitchen sinks have disposers, please use those sparingly to only clear out any minor blockage, do not grind leftover food to send it down the drain!
Just put it in the trash.
