The growing town of Sherman, with lots of jobs in the area
Sandwiched between Dallas and Denison, Sherman has been steadily expanding for over 15 years as a surge of people move out of the metroplex. Over 47,470 people live in Sherman, and new businesses and housing developments have popped up to accommodate all the new residents. “There are a lot of smaller towns between here and Dallas, but Sherman started big enough that we had amenities already, so it was a bigger town to move to instead of moving to the middle of nowhere,” says Clay Gilbert, a Realtor with Century 21 Real Estate and a third-generation Sherman native. When it was founded two centuries ago, Sherman served as Grayson County’s education, financial and legal capital. It is still the county seat, and while many educators, bankers and lawyers still work in the city, employees of Texas Instruments, Tyson Foods and Sherman Medical Center also make up the local workforce.
The local economy in Sherman thrives on manufacturing, retail, and healthcare industries.
Texas Instruments in Sherman plays a vital role in supporting innovation and development.

Sherman’s historic east and evolving west
Sherman's homes are split between two eras. The east side of U.S. Highway 75 has mainly smaller, established properties, while a boom of new neighborhoods and bigger homes are coming to the west side. “You cannot drive somewhere where you will not see something being built. It’s just growing very quickly,” says Carol Layman, a Sherman local and Realtor with Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate. Bel Air Village and Heritage Ranch are two of the most anticipated new neighborhoods in Sherman, promising hundreds of new homes and resort-style amenities like lakeside boardwalks and concert venues. The median home price for Sherman is $299,000, slightly higher than the $250,000 median in Denison but lower than the $449,900 median in Dallas.
Homebuyers in Sherman can find diverse options that suit their needs and tastes.

Fairview Park, home of the Sherman Shadowcats
Fairview Park is one of the city’s largest parks on the developing west side. It is the home of the Sherman Shadowcats, a minor league baseball team, and has a community pool, hiking trails, and space for tennis and football. Just outside city limits, the Hagerman National Wildlife Refuge has been part of Grayson County since 1946, and the 11,320-acre refuge now serves as a seasonal hunting venue. The refuge is set against the southernmost edge of Lake Texoma, the region's most popular boating and fishing destination.
