Not long ago, Anna was the kind of place you drove through on your way to somewhere else — a quiet stop up US-75 north of McKinney. Not anymore. These days it’s one of the fastest-growing cities in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, and one folks are increasingly choosing to call home. Families, young professionals, anyone chasing a real sense of community without giving up the conveniences — they’re all landing here. New schools, new parks, new restaurants seem to open every few months. This isn’t just growth. It’s a town coming into its own.

A City Hitting Its Stride

Anna sits in Collin County, about 45 miles north of downtown Dallas, and it’s growing fast — new retail, new roads, new everything. Buyers find it's the perfect mix of established and novel. Bloomfield Homes builds in several Anna communities, each with its own personality. There’s West Crossing, with its million-dollar amenity center and resort-style pool; Villages of Hurricane Creek, where greenbelts and creeks wind between oversized estate lots; and Meadow Vista, another great option in the area — with Sherley Farms on the way. Crystal Park coming even sooner! Take a look at all of our new homes in Anna and you’ll find the usual Bloomfield touches: pools, playgrounds, nature trails, and plenty of room to breathe.

Anna ISD and Those Friday Night Lights

Ask most families what brought them here, and the schools come up quick. Anna ISD has built a reputation on close-knit campuses, forward-thinking programs, and a community feel that’s getting harder to find. And the school spirit? It’s the real deal. The Anna Coyotes have been turning heads on the football field — a state championship in their division will do that — and come Friday night, the whole town shows up to cheer them on. That’s just how it works around here. As Anna grows, the district is growing right alongside it, with new campuses on the way to keep pace.

Close to Everything, Stuck in Nothing

Here’s the part commuters love: Anna keeps you minutes from the big job centers — McKinney, Plano, Frisco — without dropping you in the middle of the traffic. US-75 runs right alongside town, so getting to the office is easy and getting out of town on a Friday is even easier. Downtown Dallas? About 45 minutes. More time for life, less time staring at brake lights.

A Town That Shows Up for Each Other

Anna knows how to throw a party. The calendar fills up year-round — 12 Days of Anna in December, Juneteenth Block Party, Boots and Booms for July 4th, and more - all of which locals genuinely look forward to. These aren’t the kind of events you skip. They’re where you run into your neighbors, where the kids wear themselves out, where a place starts to feel less like an address and more like home.

Good Enough for Tony Hawk

Here’s a bragging right most suburbs can’t claim: in June 2025, skateboarding legend Tony Hawk himself rolled through and shredded the skatepark at Slayter Creek Park. The Birdman hung out with young local skaters, posed for photos, and posted the session to Instagram — calling it his “morning workout.” When a living legend picks your hometown park for a spin, you know it’s the real deal. And Slayter Creek is more than just the skate bowl: there are trails, playgrounds, and wide-open green space that make it a weekend institution for Anna families. Want even more room to roam? Natural Springs Park is right nearby, with scenic spots the whole crew can spread out and enjoy.

A Downtown Proud of Where It Came From

Head downtown and you’ll spot the mural — a bright, sprawling piece that tells Anna’s story, past to future. It’s become a bit of a local landmark, the kind of thing people stop to photograph. The food scene is coming up fast too, and what makes it special isn’t just the cooking — it’s the folks behind the counter who learn your name and have your order half-made before you sit down. Spots like Crows Country Cafe and Sunview Cafe serve up hearty, no-fuss comfort food that turns first-timers into regulars, and new places keep opening as the city grows.

Yes, There’s a Racetrack

Now for something you won’t find in just any suburb: Anna is home to G2 Motorsports Park, a world-class racing facility right in the area. Whether you’re the one behind the wheel or just there for the roar of the engines, it’s the kind of unexpected gem that makes Anna, well, Anna.

Not Just Growing — Becoming

That’s the thing about Anna. It isn’t just getting bigger; it’s becoming something — a place where opportunity and connection actually share the same zip code, where small-town roots and big-time potential aren’t at odds. If any of that sounds like the life you’re after, come see it for yourself. Browse Bloomfield’s new homes in Anna, swing by a model home, and picture your family in it. The best part? There’s still room to be part of what comes next.
