Welcome to Burkburnett, TX

An elegant small-city retreat with charming heritage, spacious homes, and refined Texan character
 
Welcome to Burkburnett, a graceful community perched just north of Wichita Falls along I‑44. With around 11,000 residents, it combines the intimacy of a close-knit town with proximity to urban amenities. This is a place where history meets tasteful living, and life unfolds at a pace that’s both relaxed and richly textured.
 
Originally born out of early ranching and an oil boom named by President Theodore Roosevelt, Burkburnett retains a storybook feel woven into its tree-lined streets and period architecture. Today it offers scenic neighborhoods, modern homes with generous yards, and an accessible cost of living that lets luxury flourish in everyday life.

Whether you’re entertaining in elegant style or enjoying a tranquil sunset, the pace blends sophistication with neighborly warmth.
 

Dining and Shopping

Local dining here is relaxed and flavorful. Expect hearty portions of Texan cuisine — smoked meats, homestyle sides, pie by the slice — in comfortable settings. While Burkburnett doesn’t have high-end dining corridors, its eateries offer genuine charm and down-home flavor. For more refined options — steak houses, chic wine bars, farm-to-table dining — Wichita Falls delivers upscale menus just minutes away.
 
Shopping within town centers on local boutiques and essentials: think home décor shops, gift stores, and small-town service providers that give personal attention. Major retail, specialty furniture stores, and curated shopping districts are an easy drive away in Wichita Falls, allowing residents to enjoy both convenience and indulgence.
