Space to roam and a small town feel in Groesbeck
Groesbeck is a small city in Limestone County that, in its early years, was a hub for farms and ranches. In the late 1800s, it became the county seat and enjoyed a boom as a railroad stop, with a steadily growing population. Today, the community is more like the early days, with plentiful land and a small-town feel, while still maintaining a bustling population of about 5,500 residents. “I think people who want to have a hobby farm or to disconnect from the city are drawn here,” says Cate Marmonti, a Realtor with Bridge Realty who sells throughout the Waco area. “It’s a quintessential small town, in my opinion. People know each other, neighbors take care of each other.”
A mix of cottages and ranch homes are available in central Groesbeck.
Groesbeck is full of charm and friendly folks.

A mix of home styles near downtown and near Lake Limestone
Home styles in Groesbeck include Minimal Traditional, ranch-style, bungalow and manufactured. Most were built between 1940 and 1990 and have three or four bedrooms. Some New Traditional homes are also available, built after 2000. Houses in Groesbeck typically sit on grassy lawns with shrubs and mature trees, and taller trees line backyards. Prices range from around $115,000 to about $350,000, with a median price of $195,000. Houses on Lake Limestone are more expensive, ranging from $400,000 to $750,000, and feature private docks and large lots. Marmonti says that most of the homes here are owned by residents who live in Groesbeck full-time. “There aren’t a ton of rentals there, which is nice. Your neighbors are your neighbors,” she says. Land is also available, from one-acre lots ideal for building homes to properties with dozens or hundreds of acres, which can be used for hunting.
Bungalows are common in Groesbeck, Texas.
Homes with their own boat docks can be found all along Limestone Lake.

A small downtown with local restaurants and shops
Ellis Street and Yeagua Street are the city’s main thoroughfares, and both are dotted with chain and local restaurants. A favorite family-owned spot is Los Pepe’s Tex-Mex Bar & Grill, which has served the city since 1987. This section of town is also home to the Groesbeck Public Library and a mix of services. Residents pick up groceries at Brookshire’s and essentials at Dollar General. For shopping at big box stores and malls, residents head to Waco, about 40 miles away. “Depending on where you live in Groesbeck, it’s only a 30- or 40-minute drive,” Marmonti says. Limestone Medical Center is on the city’s north side and has a 20-bed critical care facility with an emergency room. The closest full-service hospital is Parkview Regional, about 12 miles away in Mexia. Limestone County Detention Center and the Limestone County Sherriff’s Office are on the city’s southeast side.
Yeagua and Ellis Street run right through the heart of Groesbeck, Texas.
