Overall not an ideal place for anyone under 30. Read Less
Big Cory Living 30 Minutes From Dallas 4.5 rating By Anonymous ( May 14, 2018) Located 30 minutes from Dallas, Waxahachie is a growing little town that manages to retain its small, friendly and safe community.

There’s even a museum for those who are interested in that. We do have a lot of the big names when it comes to stores, so grocery shopping won’t be a problem.

Most notably, the s school system here is great. The community also rally togther to support the teams we do have. Such as our football team, which is fantastic as well as hour high school soccer team. The town also has a soccer club, which gives the community a lot to do with at-home games.

Wasahachie is also very diverse. The many people that have moved here help maintain it, which is one of my favorite parts out the town. Read Less
