Pottsboro is a residential community with access to Lake Texoma
Locals call Pottsboro the southern gateway to Lake Texoma. The Grayson County city is less than 10 miles from the lake, a confluence of the Washita and Red rivers, which separates Texas and Oklahoma. The area attracts many outdoor enthusiasts, but Pottsboro also offers housing that fits many budgets and plenty of community gathering spots. “Our town motto is ‘Come play, come stay,’ and I think that embodies us a lot,” says Lainie Ramsey, the broker/owner at Homes by Lainie Real Estate Group. “We have Lake Texoma, and we’re close to Dallas, but we’re still a bedroom community. We’re still quaint.”
Friendship Park features a gazebo often used for local events.

Fishing and boating on Lake Texoma, plus athletic fields and a museum
There are several places to fish and boat along Lake Texoma's edge. Anglers can catch bass, catfish, crappie and bluegill at different times of year. Nearby Eisenhower State Park has four miles of hiking and biking trails, multiple swimming spots, fishing piers and camping areas. The park has a $5 daily fee, though children under 12 have free admission. Residents can keep their boats at places like Grandpappy Point Resort & Marina, which has more than 700 boat slips. Tanglewood Resort offers memberships that provide access to its pickleball courts, swimming pools and golf course. “They have a tower that overlooks the water, and it's probably the best view of the sunset on the lake,” Ramsey says.
Pottsboro maintains three municipal parks in town. James G. Thompson Park is a sports hub for older kids and adults, providing baseball diamonds, soccer fields and a basketball court. It also has a playground and a pet area. Friendship Park is centered around a gazebo and picnic area, though it also has playground equipment. The Ball Park, also known as Festival Park, offers youth sports facilities.
A few miles south of the city, the Perrin Air Force Base Historical Museum displays several military planes and artifacts.

Several New Traditional homes with large lots sit along wide streets
The area is filled with several New Traditional homes built after 1990; many are on lots of a quarter-acre or larger. A few ranch- and cottage-style homes sit throughout the region. The median sale price is around $320,000, below the national median, though select properties with lots of acreage or luxury amenities can sell for upwards of $800,000. Some of the largest homes, or those directly on the water, can go from the high $800,000s to nearly $2 million. “We have a mix of full-time residents and people with weekend or summer homes,” Ramsey says. The car-dependent community's asphalt streets are often wide, and some feature traffic-controlling measures like speed bumps. Some main roads, like Farm to Market Road 120, have sidewalks. Grassy yards are often sparse but can feature small- and medium-sized trees and bushes along the front of houses.

Frontier Day's parades and performances bring the community together
The city has annually celebrated Frontier Day since 1876. The September event combines food and retail vendors with activities like bug-eating contests, parades and musical performances. It is held at Friendship Park.
American and Italian cuisine, plus a nonprofit thrift store
Most of Pottsboro’s restaurants sit along Farm to Market Road 120. Mom’s Cafe opens for American-style breakfast and lunch Tuesday through Saturday. Napoli’s Restaurant, just north of the town center, is known for its pizza and pasta. The area has Brookshire’s and Dollar General locations. Lakeway United Methodist Church of Pottsboro operates the Lakeway Christian Community Resale Barn, a thrift store, and puts its proceeds towards helping residents in need.

Downtown Dallas is an easy drive, and a regional hospital is close
Texas State Highway 289 cuts through the western part of town, heading north and south, while a railroad runs horizontally just south of Front Street. Ramsey says area traffic is light, though speed limit laws are strictly enforced in school zones. Downtown Dallas is around 75 miles away, and Dallas Fort Worth International Airport is close to an 80-mile drive. Texoma Medical Center, a regional hospital with more than 400 beds, is less than 10 miles southeast. Ramsey says tornadoes and flooding rarely impact the community.
