About Van Alstyne
Van Alstyne offers a relaxed, small-town atmosphere with straightforward access to the greater Dallas-Fort Worth area. Situated along U.S. 75 just north of McKinney, the community makes for an easy commute while keeping a quiet, friendly pace. Families are especially drawn here for the well-regarded Van Alstyne school district, and Grayson College maintains a convenient branch campus right in town.
Originally established in the 1870s as a railroad stop, the town preserves much of its classic Texas character around a charming historic downtown. As growth pushes north from the metroplex, Van Alstyne has become a popular spot for newcomers looking for newer homes, larger lots, and a genuine neighborhood feel without giving up proximity to major shopping and dining.
