When you want to live in the Dallas Fort Worth area but don’t want to be directly in the city, check out the small communitie of Sachse, Texas on the northeast edge of Dallas. Sachse boasts small-town charm, rural acreage, new construction, and modern amenities.
While Sachse used to be considered the outskirts of Dallas, it’s now closer to creature comforts as new homes and retail businesses are being built. Sachse has a long history of being an active farming community, however, it now blends traditional city life with a small-town feel. There are both traditional historic neighborhoods and modern construction with all of the amenities that HOA’s often offer.
New construction is showcased by the latest in modern architecture beside indoor/outdoor living spaces that boast rich wood floors and open spaces for relaxing or entertaining guests.
Commercial businesses support these neighborhoods, yet they’re not too close to be intrusive on peaceful streets that are perfect for walking or jogging through greenbelts that connect everything from trails to splash pads in these communities.
The Climate
Sachse, has a comfortable climate with warm summers and cool winters. Where the rest of the country gets an average of about 205 days of sunshine per year, Sachse soaks in golden rays 233 days annually. All that sunshine produces summer temperatures of about 94 degrees in July, ideal for enjoying the wide array of outdoor activities in the area, including Lake Lavon.
There are about 87 days out of the year when precipitation is measurable, which equates to about 40 inches of rain and just an inch of snow.
During winters, low temperatures drop to just above freezing, on average, at 34 degrees.
Sachse, Texas
Sachse is home to a population of about 30,610 residents, with a median household income estimated at $140,043, considerably above the state’s median household income of just $76,640.
Sachse is known for having a variety of lot sizes, many of them sprawling across multiple acres, while there are still pockets of homes built on smaller lots. The homes are primarily single-family with estimated home values of about $458,800, compared to the Texas median home value of $326,800.
The City of Sachse spans the Dallas and Collin County line so students in Sachse attend schools governed by both the Wylie Independent School District and the Garland Independent School District. If the school district is important to you, be certain to understand where the school district lines are before making an offer on a home.
SACHSE REMEMBERED 1840 - 1940 by Mary Allene Jones*
Sachse Schools and Churches*
The first school in Sachse was built by the State of Texas on the corner of Sachse Road and Billingsley Street. The next school, located at Third and Dewitt Streets, was built in the early 1900s. It was a three-story building that was also used for town meetings. During the 1920s, a new one story red brick school house was built on the same site and remained the school house for Sachse children until the 1930s when the red brick school house was razed. While a new school house was being built, the children attended school in Garland. The new school building still stands across the street from First Baptist Church of Sachse. In the 1940s, however, Sachse consolidated with the Garland Independent School District and the children were bused to attend school in Garland.
In the 1890s and early 1900s, the school house doubled on Sundays as the church. The Christians would meet in the
“church” in the morning, the Methodists in the afternoon, until 1907 when the Methodists moved to the Pleasant Valley area and the new Christian Church was being built on 6th Street. During the 1890s, William Sachse donated land adjoining the Christian Church site for what is today known as Sachse Cemetery, where he was buried when he passed away in December 1899. In the 1950s, the church was moved to its present location on Ben Davis Road. The bell from the cupola of the original church remains on the grounds of the present Sachse Christian Church building. The Assembly of God church was built in 1925 at its present location.
Sachse's Growing Economy*
By the late 1920s, onions were competing with cotton as a major cash crop, and the cotton platform located next to the railroad was converted into an onion shed. At this time, the business district of Sachse included the train depot, two onion sheds, cattle pens, two blacksmith shops, two gins, the Kerley store, two general stores and a bank. With the growing popularity of the automobile came the rapid decline of passenger traffic by train. As a result, the train depot fell into disrepair and was torn down by the railroad. A tornado destroyed the roof of the onion shed west of Third Street and soon both sheds were torn down as well.
