Anna is a city in northern Collin County on US-75, about 45 miles north of downtown Dallas and just north of McKinney and Melissa. It is one of the fastest-growing cities in North Texas: its population was 1,350 in 2000 and 16,896 at the 2020 census, and it was estimated at about 35,000 in 2025. Most of that growth has come through new master-planned communities and builder subdivisions. Nitin Gupta, CRS, GRI, Broker Associate with Competitive Edge Realty, represents buyers, sellers and landlords in Anna and along the US-75 corridor through Melissa, McKinney and Sherman.

Location and Commute

US-75 runs along the west side of Anna, south through Melissa and McKinney to Allen, Plano and Dallas, and north to Sherman and Denison. State Highway 5 and FM 455 also serve the city. Anna's ZIP code is 75409, though some homes marketed in the Anna area sit outside city limits in its extraterritorial jurisdiction, so confirm the city, county services and taxing entities for any specific address

​

Schools: Anna ISD

Most of Anna is served by Anna ISD, whose main high school is Anna High School. A small part of the area falls in Blue Ridge ISD. With the district growing quickly, campus assignments can change as new schools open, so confirm the district and campuses for any specific address before making an offer. Learn more about Anna ISD and schools or compare districts with the DFW school district ratings guide.

​

Anna Home Prices

Zillow put the typical Anna home value at about $345,000 as of June 2026, down roughly 7% from a year earlier, making Anna one of the more affordable Collin County cities for newer homes. HAR.com reported an average listing price of about $430,000 in September 2026, reflecting the large share of new construction on the market. Because some communities carry MUD or PID assessments and others do not, compare the total monthly cost of each home rather than list price alone. For a current read on a specific home, use the home value analysis or contact Nitin.

Buying New Construction in Anna

The builder's sales representative at an Anna model home works for the builder, not for you. New construction also means a builder contract rather than a promulgated form, a construction timeline, and in some communities MUD or PID assessments tied to the address. Read why representation matters when buying new in Anna and who represents you at a Texas model home, and learn how new construction buyer representation works.

​

Living in Anna

Anna was platted in 1883 along the Houston and Texas Central Railway and incorporated in 1913. The Anna Depot, built in 1885, remains as the oldest extant railroad station in Texas. Today the city combines that small-town history with new neighborhoods, parks and retail arriving along US-75, and it sits a short drive from McKinney's restaurants and shopping.

​

Moving to Anna

Anna draws first-time home buyers, move-up buyers and buyers relocating to Dallas-Fort Worth who want newer homes at a lower price point than cities closer in. Read the Anna relocation guide and Melissa vs. Anna. Services are available in English, Hindi, Punjabi, Urdu and Gujarati.

​

Selling or Leasing Your Anna Home

Anna resale sellers compete directly with builder inventory and incentives nearby, so pricing and presentation matter. See the seller marketing plan and seller services, or learn about landlord leasing services if you plan to rent your home.
