Whitesboro is a rural community between Dallas and Oklahoma

Whitesboro is a small town between Dallas and Oklahoma, attracting residents who want to live in a rural area near recreational lakes like Lake Texoma and Ray Roberts Lake without being too far from the city. “People move here to escape the hustle and bustle of overcrowded communities in the suburbs of Dallas,” says Realtor Cory Meals with eXp Realty. “Whitesboro is known for its sandy loam soil, which is great for horses and livestock, making Whitesboro a prime location for horse country.”

Community parks and churches are just a quick stroll away for many residents in Whitesboro.

Between DFW and Lake Texoma
