All the allure of a Southern small town with plenty of space and modern amenities

Quaint Family-Friendly College Town Sports Affordable

Stephenville sits just over an hour southwest of the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex and displays all the charm of a small Texas town without being too intimate. Stephenville is big on football, and Tarleton State University sits smack dab in the middle of the city, lending the area an energetic feel. Families love Stephenville too because of its ideal size, plentiful single-family home rentals, and highly-rated schools.

Stephenville City Park is a popular gathering spot for locals and visitors alike, but there are even more green spaces to enjoy in and around the city. There’s a solid mix of local and chain restaurants and shops scattered around Stephenville, but thanks to the major state roads in and out of the area, it’s easy to visit the Dallas-Fort Worth area to the northeast.
