About the Community:
Athens has the charm of a small southern town while still retaining many of the qualities of a larger city. With Dallas 70 miles west and Tyler 30 miles to the east, it is the perfect spot to live, work, and play for those who want the benefits of a smaller city, but easy access to larger metro areas. Athens has great restaurants, a brewery, parks including an arboretum, a large public lake, and even one of the largest freshwater fish hatcheries and many more exciting amenities you can enjoy, yet it has one of the lowest cost-of-living indexes in all of the southern U.S.
Athens is a bustling small southern town and a hidden gem in the heart of east Texas. Founded in 1846, Athens celebrates a fascinating heritage and is committed to the preservation of its history as well as continued growth for future generations. With Cedar Creek Lake and the Trinity River to the west, Lake Athens to the East, and Dallas only 68 miles away, Athens is the perfect mix of small-town charm with big-city options. Residents enjoy outstanding public/private schools, affordable housing, and a climate that is ideal for outdoor adventures.
