The Latest

Close enough for a quick commute to major cities in North Texas, but far enough away where homeowners can create a quiet and cozy retreat. That was the goal when Sandlin Homes set out to develop its new Sheppard’s Place community in Waxahachie. 

Sheppard’s Place is now selling with spacious single-family homes starting in the low $300s. 

Moving to Waxahachie

Waxahachie’s convenient location places homeowners near I-35 and Highway 287 making for an easy drive to downtown Dallas and Fort Worth for work or play. Closer to home, Sheppard’s Place residents have access to shopping, dining, and entertainment in five nationally registered historic districts. The old Ellis County Courthouse is a central figure in town displaying Richardsonian Romanesque architectural style. The surrounding Courthouse Park serves as a rest area for visitors in the Historic Downtown District.

Waxahachie is also home to a calendar of social events like the Crossroads of Texas Film and Music Festival, Gingerbread Trail, Rotary Cow Creek Country Classic Bike Ride, Crape Myrtle Festival, Texas Country Reporter Festival, a World War II Reenactment, Parade of Lights, Candlelight Tour of Homes, and Bethlehem Revisited, among others.

The city provides plenty of opportunities to get out and explore as well with 18 parks spread throughout Waxahachie. The Waxahachie Creek Hike & Bike Trail connects several parks spanning four miles from Getzendaner Park to Lions Park. Make sure to stop by the Ellis County Museum and add a heart-shaped lock to the Love Lock Fence.
