Many residents return to Cameron to raise families, drawn by its peaceful pace and well-rated schools in Cameron Independent School District, including Ben Milan Elementary and C.H. Yoe High, which both receive high marks. Housing near downtown tends to be older 20th-century homes shaded by mature oak and elm trees, with Craftsman, Tudor Revival, Cape Cod and ranch-style designs common.
