Just east of Dallas, Hunt County is anchored by Greenville, its seat, with Commerce (home to Texas A&M–Commerce) and smaller towns like Quinlan and Caddo Mills. Established in 1846, the county has long been agricultural but is now transforming into a suburban-rural mix as DFW sprawl expands eastward. Housing ranges from historic homes in Greenville to suburban subdivisions, starter homes, and rural properties with acreage. Lake Tawakoni offers recreation and lakefront property. Proximity to Dallas (45–60 minutes west) drives strong growth. Prices for existing homes typically fall $220,000–$360,000, with land selling $15,000–$30,000 per acre near highways and lakes. Buyers include commuters, students, and investors seeking affordable property within reach of Dallas.
