The quiet East Texas town of Wills Point
The quiet country town of Wills Point, about 50 miles east of Dallas, has a population of about 4,000 residents who enjoy farming, gardening and the simple pleasures of country life. "Most people here like to be quiet – that's kind of the draw of living in the country," says lifelong Wills Point resident and Realtor Kim Bigley with Premier Legacy Real Estate. "They like to go fishing and horseback riding and go to football games and church. We definitely live in the Bible Belt. People like the high school sports, the band, the FFA and the small country feel."
