Living in Waxahachie
Few Dallas–Fort Worth towns wear their history as beautifully as Waxahachie, where new homes in Waxahachie, TX come with a backdrop of Victorian streetscapes and one of the most photographed courthouse squares in Texas. The Ellis County seat sits about 30 miles south of Dallas, close enough for an easy commute yet distinctly its own place.
Getting Around
Waxahachie is the county seat of Ellis County, positioned on Interstate 35E with US-287 and US-77 also running through town. Downtown Dallas is roughly 30 miles north, about a 35-minute drive, and Dallas Love Field is around the same. US-287 gives a direct western route toward Midlothian, Mansfield, and Fort Worth, while I-35E carries you straight into Dallas or south toward Waco. That crossroads position suits commuters heading toward either city.
Top-Rated Schools
Waxahachie ISD serves the city and has earned a B accountability rating from the Texas Education Agency, backed by 18 campuses and a record of keeping pace with steady growth. The district teaches roughly 11,000 students across eleven elementary, three middle, and four high schools, giving families options close to home. It keeps investing in facilities and programs to match rising enrollment in the fast-expanding southern metroplex.
Things to Do
Downtown is the star, a roughly 20-block historic district with more than 120 businesses set around the 1897 Ellis County Courthouse, a Richardsonian Romanesque landmark of granite and sandstone by architect James Riely Gordon. Nicknamed the Gingerbread City for its ornate Victorian homes, the town has drawn filmmakers for decades, including Places in the Heart and Tender Mercies. Local spots like College Street Pub, the Farm Luck Soda Fountain, and The Dove's Nest sit among antique shops and boutiques on the square. Outdoor life centers on Getzendaner Memorial Park and its 1902 Chautauqua Auditorium, the Waxahachie Creek Hike and Bike Trail, and 656-acre Lake Waxahachie. The calendar is led by the Scarborough Renaissance Festival each spring and the Ellis County Museum's Gingerbread Trail home tour in June.
