Wichita Falls

Welcome to Wichita Falls, TX

A leafy, upscale enclave with upscale homes and scenic surroundings perfect for refined living

Welcome to Wichita Falls, a gem of North Texas where upscale living merges with the warmth of small‑town hospitality. Just eight miles from the Oklahoma border, this vibrant city of around 100,000 people offers elegant neighborhoods like Tanglewood, Country Club Estates, and Lake Wellington Estates that deliver tranquil sophistication.

Here, luxury meets value: home prices remain notably below the national average (roughly $135K median compared with $319K nationally), yet the highest‑earning, most desirable sections – especially in the southwest – reflect refined tastes and mature landscaping. With Midwestern State University’s liberal arts campus and Sheppard Air Force Base adding cultural and economic vitality, the area beautifully balances prestige, leisure, and intellectual energy.

What to Love

Gorgeous, tree‑lined streets and designer custom homes in Tanglewood and Country Club Estates
Access to premier golf, tennis, and clubhouse amenities adjacent to the Wichita Falls Country Club
Lake Wellington Estates offers waterfront views and private dock access for serene lakeside living
A cost of living well below the national average – yet no compromise on quality or charm

Local Lifestyle

The lifestyle here is a refined blend of leisure and community. Evenings might mean a sunset stroll by Lake Wichita, weekends spent on the golf course or tending to a koi pond oasis, and afternoons enjoying neighborly conversation over iced tea on shaded porches. Residents often embrace outdoor living and gardening, with plenty of space to stretch out on spacious lots. Though tranquil, there’s an undercurrent of vibrancy — from university arts events to boutique shopping in downtown’s historic district.

Dining and Shopping

The dining scene mirrors the city’s upscale but approachable character. In neighborhoods like the Avenues and Downtown, you'll find gastropubs, carefully curated wine bars, and local bistros serving elevated Texan‑inspired fare — perfect for an evening out after work. A leisurely brunch spot might feature locally sourced ingredients and stylish presentation.

For luxury shopping, boutique retailers and specialty home‑goods stores dot the southwest corridor and country‑club-adjacent areas. Upscale home furnishings mix seamlessly with local art galleries and custom interior‑design shops. Essentials are right nearby too: major retailers and everyday services are conveniently accessible, so refinement doesn’t mean sacrifice.

Those seeking high-end rentals can find luxury properties — modern finishes, gourmet kitchens, spa‑style bathrooms, in‑unit laundry, and spacious floor plans — starting in desirable areas like Stone Creek Ranch and Brook Hollow, with units ranging from $1,100 to over $2,500 per month.

Things to Do and Entertainment

Cultural life in Wichita Falls offers charming diversity. Catch a performance or art show at Midwestern State University’s theaters and galleries, or explore the boutiques and gastropubs of downtown, where antique shops and curated events give the historic center a tasteful edge. On cycling enthusiasts’ calendars, the Hotter’N Hell Hundred event draws crowds each summer, blending sport with civic pride.

Meanwhile, the city’s parks and lakes are magnets for outdoor recreation: weekend fishing by Lake Wellington, quiet trails for walking or biking, and sprawling green spaces ideal for a leisurely afternoon under the trees. It’s an elegant escape from the pace of the larger metroplexes — without feeling isolated.

Schools

Education options here are well‑established and strong. Wichita Falls is served by the Wichita Falls Independent School District, boasting quality public schools. For higher learning, Midwestern State University offers a respected liberal‑arts curriculum with both bachelor’s and master's degree programs. Vernon College provides community college coursework and certifications, and there’s even a Deutsche Schule Sheppard for German children connected with the nearby Air Force base.
