Find Your Place In The Lone Star State!

An artistic and out-there community to suit the weirdest soul, Marfa is probably best known for the supernatural phenomenon known as the Marfa lights. Located near Big Bend National Park (where Texas dips its toe into Mexico), Marfa won't appeal to those whose weekend fix includes mall hopping, but it is ideal if you prefer exploring the great outdoors over searching for the perfect home accessory. Home to the Cowboy Hall of Fame, as well as museums, wineries and art galleries, Marfa mixes Wild West with Eclectic East in a perfect blend of culture and nature.

Thought your salty-seadog ways couldn't survive in the arid desert plains of landlocked Texas? Remember that America isn't just East and West, and some even say that the third coast is best! First charted by Spanish explorers in 1519, Port Isabel is one of the oldest shipping ports in the country and has a long history of both legitimate trade and as a haven for pirates. Some even say there's still treasure hidden in the shifting sandbars of Laguna Madre Bay! The historic lighthouse dates from 1852, and locals enjoy a mild climate, great fishing, water sports, dolphin watching, and a culture that proves Texas is way more than tumbleweed ranches and cowboys.

Texas is a great place to raise a family, and if you're looking for a suburb that offers big-city amenities with a small-town feel, then you need to head to Coppell. Located in the northwest corner of Dallas County, Coppell ranks A+ for families and public schools--with housing, crime and safety, and nightlife also ranking high in comparison to other areas. Famous neighbors you'll meet in Coppell include Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader director Kelli Finglass, actor Tom Maden, and Dallas Cowboys tight end Jason Witten.

Looking for great schools for your kids but hate the suburbs? Head to the town of Canyon, so named because it is the 'Gateway to Palo Duro Canyon.' A town whose motto is 'Feels Like Home,' Canyon combines excellent urban infrastructure and amenities with the awe-inspiring landscape of the Wild West, where rivers wind through deep, red-cliffed canyons and fluffy, white clouds float in deep-blue skies. So 'Go West, young man,' and find your home in Canyon!

If cities have personalities, then San Antonio is a mariachi dancer swirling her skirts and stomping her feet as she dances just for the joy of being alive! Mixing old and new, San Antonio has a vibrant multicultural population and a thriving economy, with the colonial architecture of historic downtown rubbing shoulders with uber-modern skyscrapers and boom-town planned communities. Famous as the home of the Alamo (remember that?!), the city has grown gracefully and retains an old-Mexico charm and laid-back feel compared to Dallas or Houston. Less traffic congestion, a family-orientated culture, and easy access to the recreational activities and beauty of the surrounding countryside make this city a great one to call home.

If you're going to live in Nacogdoches, the first thing you need to know is how to say it! So here you go: NAK-a-DOH-chiss. Got it? Now you're ready to move to the oldest town in Texas! Originally known as Nevantin, the area was home of the Nacogdoche tribe of Caddo Indians, and settlement in this part of the East Texas piney woods has been traced back thousands of years. It's infamous as the location for the Marx Brothers' 'runaway mule incident,' where the townsfolk proved that the brothers were better at comedy than singing, and the actors loved to make fun of the town--Groucho would make jokes referring to Nacogdoches whenever a Texas contestant was on the brothers' comedy show.
