A lot of the new construction homes have a more manageable price point, so that's attracting first-time buyers," says Karnes. "We do have larger, more expensive properties, too. In fact, there was a recent listing on the lake for $14 million, but overall, Sanger has a diverse selection of homes, which is a draw to the area." Sanger homes tend to lean Traditional in architectural style, but you'll also find some other styles, like Modern Farmhouse, in the mix.

Parks and events in Sanger
With Lake Ray Roberts only about 5 miles from downtown Sanger, you're never far from fun outdoor pursuits, including a float across calm lake waters in a kayak, a pontoon boat rented from Ray Roberts Marina or a half-day guided fishing trip courtesy of Lt. Dan's Crappie Company. For some low-key fishing closer to town, visit the fully-stocked pond at 40-acre Sanger Sports Park after you check out the park's softball complex, playground, and 1.5-mile paved walking path. On summer days, the kids will love to cool off at Switzer Park's splash pad or enjoy the park's playground, horseshoe pit, basketball court and community center, which parkgoers can rent out for small events. Speaking of events, there are plenty to enjoy throughout the year in Sanger, including the annual Sanger Sellabration and Safe Spook in October, featuring craft and food vendors, a Halloween costume contest and a petting zoo. "They do a ton of events in town," Karnes says. "There are so many, I couldn't list them all off the top of my head. It's really easy to get involved in Sanger town life."

Downtown has shops and restaurants
If the fish aren't biting — but you would like to be — head to Sanger's historic downtown area, where the crispy fried chicken served up at Babe's Chicken Dinner House, located in a former hardware store built in 1898, is sure to quiet your grumbling belly. Add some gravy-topped mashed potatoes and creamy banana pudding to your meal, and you'll leave Babe's with a smile. After lunch, head to one of the downtown area's fun boutiques, like the Gypsy Cowgirl, where you'll find a unique selection of women's fashions, gifts and art. Later, stop by Bolivar Street Revival and Spirits to enjoy a cocktail and some live music with friends, and on a Saturday morning, check out the lively Downtown Sanger Farmer's Market, where you can stock up on local goods and produce from area farmers, ranchers, bakers, craft artisans and more.
Gypsy Cowgirl in Downtown Sanger is the perfect place to get some shopping done.
