A few months ago, I showed a house in Sherman to a Texas native. As we drove through the tree-lined streets, he turned to me and said, "This feels like what Texas used to be."

He wasn't wrong.

While Dallas and Collin County grab headlines, Grayson County quietly delivers something increasingly rare: authentic Texas charm with modern convenience. There are 2,026 homes for sale in Grayson County with a median price of $329,185, which is an increase of +0.8% since last year.

The Grayson County Advantage

Picture this: You're 45 minutes from downtown Dallas, but your neighbor still waves from their front porch. Your kids can walk to school safely. Friday night lights actually matter. And your housing dollar stretches further than almost anywhere else in North Texas.

What $329K Gets You Here:

• 3-4 bedrooms on larger lots
• Established neighborhoods with character
• Top-rated schools (shoutout to Sherman ISD)
• Access to Lake Texoma recreation
• Small-town community feel

The Local Flavor

Sherman's downtown revival is real – check out the historic courthouse square, grab coffee at Two Wolves Coffee, or catch a show at the Texoma Community Center. For families, the annual Oatmeal Festival (yes, really) and Christmas parade are local treasures.

Investment Perspective

With Dallas housing prices cooling and remote work here to stay, Grayson County represents exceptional value. You're not just buying a house – you're investing in a lifestyle that's becoming harder to find.
