Why Live in Athens

Athens, Texas, a city of 12,800 residents located about 70 miles southeast of Dallas, is known as the "Black-Eyed Pea Capital of the World." This heritage is celebrated annually at the Black-Eyed Pea Jamboree, featuring an antique tractor show, live music, and a cookoff. The local economy is driven by manufacturing and health care, with major employers including Biomeric, Argon Medical, and UT Health East Texas. The Athens Economic Development Corporation's 2025 Strategic Plan aims to attract new businesses and support housing development. Housing options range from historic bungalows and cottages downtown to ranch-style homes from the 1960s to 1990s, and pricier waterfront properties on Lake Athens. The city boasts over 200 acres of public parks, including the East Texas Arboretum and Botanical Society, and Lake Athens, a popular spot for boating and fishing. Dining options are concentrated along Corsicana and Palestine Streets, with local favorites like Boathouse overlooking Lake Athens. The arts scene includes 211 Gallery and the Charlie Bullock Art Studio and School. Annual events like the Old Fiddlers Contest and rodeos at the Henderson County Regional Fairpark Complex add to the city's attractions. Athens ISD offers a four-day instructional week, and post-secondary education is available at Trinity Valley Community College. The city is connected by Texas State Highway Loop 7 and is about 30 miles from Tyler Pounds Regional Airport. Summers are hot, winters are mild, and air quality is monitored due to emissions from Steritec, Inc.
