Potosi is a semi-rural Taylor County community that sits southeast of the larger, busier city of Abilene, offering quiet neighborhoods and open fields. Primarily residential, this community of 5,000 is home to people who often commute to Dyess Air Force Base. "People who live here typically want more space, more privacy and don't mind being away from the action," says Robbie Johnson, local Realtor and Broker at Texas Lifestyles Group. Public spaces are few but meaningful: the Potosi Baptist Church stands as a local landmark, while Potosi Live offers a spot for neighbors to gather and unwind. Despite being on the southeast outskirts of Abilene, residents here enjoy the convenience of Abilene’s schools, hospitals and shopping.
Visitors to Potosi City often stay at the DoubleTree Hilton in Abilene.

Spacious living and luxurious brick homes
Most homes here are ranch-style, set on large lots. The area features a mix of medium to large single-family homes, with newer custom-built properties-especially in neighborhoods like Pack Saddle Creek-showcasing luxury ranch or New Traditional designs with brick and stone facades, dormers and expansive layouts. These high-end homes, often four or five bedrooms, typically range from $725,000 to $1.5 million, while smaller three-bedroom ranch-style homes are available for $350,000 to $450,000. Wide roads and cul-de-sacs follow the natural landscape. Homes are spaced far apart, and neighborhoods are designed for privacy and a quiet, family-friendly environment.
