On June 21, McKinney City Council unanimously approved a proposed community that would bring 104 single-family for-lease homes to about 12 acres to the northeast corner of Lake Forest Drive and the future Collin McKinney Parkway.

According to meeting documents, the community, called Avanterra Lake Forest, would be an upscale market-rate neighborhood that will feature detached and attached homes in floor plans that range from one bedroom to four bedrooms. The community will also feature a resident clubhouse, a fenced pet playground and shared open space amenities. The clubhouse includes a gathering room, a 24-hour fitness center, a kitchen area, a coffee bar and office space. A pool, sun deck and outdoor grilling area would be located behind the clubhouse, according to meeting documents.
