I am very impressed with Riverside Builders and hope the company continues to grow and provide quality homes in the future. The house plan is very well done. Uses the space effectively and I am still surprised about the storage available.
We’re first time home buyers and couldn’t say enough great things about Riverside and how seamless and painless they’ve made this whole process. We’re so appreciative!
Living in Anna
Anna is located on State Highway 5, Farm Road 455, and U.S Highway 75 eleven miles northeast of McKinney in north central Collin County. Although Collin McKinney settled within a few miles of the future townsite in 1846, John F. Greer, who arrived in 1870, is credited with building the first home and store in the new community. The Houston and Texas Central Railway, at that time built between Dallas and Denison, passed through the area in 1873. By the time Anna was platted in 1883, it had a population of twenty, two stores, a steam gristmill, and a Baptist church. A post office also opened in that year. By 1890, the town had a population of 100 to 200. Anna was incorporated in 1913, with John F. Greer as its first mayor.
Local historian Chester A. Howell compiled a brief history of Anna for inclusion in a book that was given to those who attended the Anna school homecoming on October 19, 1985. A one page "errata" to correct some minor errors was added in 1989. Mr. Howell's history, A Town Named Anna (PDF), was one of the most authoritative and complete descriptions of the history of our community until recently.
In 2018, the Anna Area Historical Preservation Society (AAHPS) published a 484 page resource that includes the history of Anna and its train depot, historical homes, early communities and cemeteries, as well as schools, fire and law enforcement. The title of this book is "The Spark That Ignited The Town of Anna" and is available through AAHPS.
Foam Encapsulation
Our homes feature total encapsulated FOAM insulation for maximum efficiency. This proven insulation method ensures that our homes have a stable internal temperature resulting in substantial savings on utility bills for our homeowners. It also protects our duct work and units from extreme temperatures that can be found in the attic which can significantly increase the lifespan of the equipment.
Air Sealing
In addition to full foam encapsulation, we take extra measures to seal in air and help provide a constant thermal break and lock in heating and cooling—including integrity gasket, caulk and poly seal. Our homes are fully sheeted—even behind siding—and our externally vented range hoods are specifically designed to improve air quality in your home.
Smart Home and HVAC
Our programmable thermostats accurately control temperatures to reduce wasted cooling or heating capacity. Our 14- to 16-SEER heat pumps work to eliminate uneven temperatures and provide greater humidity control in order to let your heat pump operate at lower, more efficient speeds.
