Howe blends growth and charm along North Texas's U.S. 75 corridor
Howe is a North Texas city of about 3,700 that still offers a quiet, small-town setting and affordable homes in one of the country’s fastest-growing regions. The community attracts a mix of residents, from younger homebuyers seeking value to those looking to downsize. Located along U.S. Highway 75, just south of Sherman and about an hour north of Dallas, Howe also appeals to commuters who work in the ever-expanding Metroplex.

An affordable mix of older homes and new construction
Midcentury ranch-style homes with driveways and attached garages stand out among the older housing stock in the heart of town, east of U.S. 75. These homes are found on quiet neighborhood streets filled with mature trees. Buyers in Howe are eligible for U.S. Department of Agriculture loans that do not require a down payment. These loans are designed to promote homeownership in rural areas. They are most attractive but not limited to first-time homebuyers.
Because of the region’s rapid growth, the community does offer its share of new homes. Most notably, the Noble Ridge development just west of the highway offers a variety of brick-built contemporary homes in a walkable subdivision setting. Plans call for 700-plus homes as well as amenities such as a community pool, a park and trails once the multi-phase project is complete. Other new homes include large custom designs outside the city limits. These homes are among Howe’s most expensive.
Kyle Skaar of Ultima Real Estate, who is involved in development throughout the North Texas Metroplex, says that Howe is typical of many smaller cities in the path of growth along the U.S. 75 corridor. “[Developers] keep the little town. The cute little town never goes away, but they just build around it.”
Prices range from under $200,000 to $700,000-plus. Howe’s median sales price of just under $300,000 is about 40 percent lower than that of neighboring Van Alstyne, where new construction is much more prevalent.

More money from housing means more upgrades for schools
The Howe Independent School District is made up of four schools that serve more than 1,200 students in pre-kindergarten through 12th grade. Voters approved a $32 million bond measure in 2025 for renovations to Summit Hill Elementary, which will include additional classrooms and a new gym. “When you start bringing in more money, more taxable income from housing, you can do more stuff,” Skaar says. The district’s other schools are Howe Intermediate, Howe Middle and Howe High schools. “Howe is gonna be great,” Skaar adds. “If you have kids who are too young for school, by the time they start school, it’s gonna be booming.”
Students can apply for transfers to another district, but requests are not guaranteed. Both districts must approve any such transfers.

Howe Intermediate School serves grades 3–5.
Howe Middle School educates grades 6–8.

Small businesses on Haning Street sell antiques and comfort food
A small section of Haning Street forms the core of the community’s downtown district, where a collection of local businesses are found in historic buildings. Howe Mercantile, which sells antiques and vintage clothing, is the main attraction. Dining destinations include Abby’s Restaurant and Gabriela’s Mexican Cocina. The area also includes a post office, barbershop and the Howe Area Chamber of Commerce. There’s a Dollar General in town, but most shopping is done outside of the community. Sherman is anchored by big-box retailers such as Target, Walmart and Albertsons.

Chamber-led events keep the community connected to its roots
The chamber organizes community events, including the Howe Founder’s Day Festival. Occurring each May, this signature event will be celebrated for the 40th time in 2026. Scores of vendors set up downtown, and visitors enjoy a combination of food, music and carnival-style activities. The chamber also puts on the Downtown Howe-lloween Festival, which gives children in more rural areas a chance to participate in trick-or-treating along Haning Street. “Even though we’re growing and developing, we’re working hard to keep the quaintness and the cuteness and give opportunities for the town to remain connected,” says Amy Gibbs, a resident who works for United Real Estate Insight.
Connections Park is a recreational destination
Connections Park is the city’s newest recreational space. It features tractor- and barn-shaped playgrounds that were built by local volunteers. The park also has tennis and pickleball courts among its amenities. A.M. Ferguson Memorial Park hosts the Howe Youth Sports Association’s baseball and softball leagues.

Easily access to larger cities along U.S. 75
Howe is connected to larger cities via U.S. 75. Popular regional destinations include:
Sherman, home to a massive new Texas Instruments semiconductor campus, about 10 miles north
Denison, a North Texas employment center and home to Texoma Medical Center, about 20 miles north
McKinney, where Raytheon Intelligence & Space and Globe Life are top employers, about 25 miles south
McKinney will soon be additionally convenient for travelers, as the city’s national airport is scheduled to open its passenger terminal and begin commercial flights by early 2027.
