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."

Wills Point Independent School District earns a C-plus from Niche. Wills Point Primary School receives a B-minus, Woods Intermediate School gets a C-plus, Wills Point Middle School gets a C, Wills Point Junior High School receives a C-plus, and Wills Point High School gets a B-minus. Bigley says that the community supports the high school's sports teams and band and that the school's FFA – Future Farmers of America – program is a big deal. "My grandson shows pigs," she says. "They actually have a barn at the school to hold your animals, so you go by the barn twice a day and clean out the stalls and feed your pig, and you clean your pig on weekends."

In town, Lester Park has baseball and soccer fields and a playground, and Bruce Park is home to Wills Cabin, the original home of the first settler in Wills Point.
