In Central Texas, Limestone County is anchored by Groesbeck (the seat), with Mexia and Coolidge as other towns. Established in 1846, it grew with agriculture, Fort Parker, and later railroads. Today, it is strongly rural-small town, though Waco (40 miles west) influences its housing market. Housing includes historic cottages, modest ranchers, and manufactured homes. Prices are modest: most homes cost $140,000–$240,000, while land averages $6,000–$12,000 per acre. Buyers include retirees, hunters, and families seeking affordability near Waco.
