St. Paul, TX (Town)

St. Paul is a quiet rural town in southern Collin County, sitting right along the shores of Lavon Lake about eleven miles south of McKinney. With around a thousand residents, the community has managed to keep its spacious, spread-out feel even as the surrounding Dallas area grows. The town started as a small farming settlement in the late 1800s, and that laid-back country character is still easy to see today.

For anyone moving to the area, St. Paul offers a great mix of lakeside living and suburban convenience. Lavon Lake is practically in your backyard for boating and fishing, while neighboring towns like Wylie handle daily errands, groceries, and schools. It is an ideal spot if you want room to breathe, quiet roads, and starry night skies without giving up a reasonable commute into the metroplex.
