Thinking of moving to Wichita Falls Texas? Here are the Top Ten Reasons Moving to Wichita Falls is your best decision.
No. 1 – The Friendly People.
Oh my goodness what is a city without its people. Lots of communities don’t have the kind of friendly folk that we have here in Wichita Falls and we have no shortage of those friendly smiling faces. Everywhere you go you run into somebody like that.
I run a community group that asks the question before you can join “What is the thing you like most about Wichita Falls?” and hands down the most consistent answer is the people.
We love our people. Even our Visitors and Convention Center receive compliments from visitors from around the world about how friendly the people in Wichita Falls. I guarantee you hands down the number one reason is the people.
No. 2 – The Weather
It’s November and it’s 70 degrees the other day it was 80. You just can’t beat that!
We have some cold days and we have some super hot days but generally overall it’s gorgeous here.
No. 3 – The Beautiful Sunsets
We have some of the most incredible sunsets I’ve ever seen in my life. Being from Southern California we have beaches and we have mountains and all is great to look but they don’t hold a candle to our sunsets.
I’ve said many times that God made the most beautiful sunsets in Texas especially in Wichita Falls because it is a little flat and a little brown and he wanted us to look upwards. They are incredible.
No. 4 – Our Amazing Downtown.
They say a healthy downtown is the heart of a city and ours is rich with history.
If you’ve ever come on one of my tours you know about the World’s Littlest Skyscraper, we also have the Zombie Crawl Event we have Dios des Los Muertos – it’s to die for no pun intended.
We have an incredible downtown and we love it and it’s getting better and better and you have to come and visit.
No. 5 – Our Local Food and Shopping.
Wichita Falls has an incredible selection of local one-of-a-kind restaurants and unique stores for your eating and shopping pleasure whether you’re in the mood for amazing Texas barbecue, a mouth-watering cheeseburger or a good old-fashioned chicken-fried steak, Wichita Falls has the cure for what ails you. Oh and don’t worry we also have all of your vegan an vegetarian healthy options as well!
Wichita falls is home to a variety of eclectic tastes when it comes to shopping with a plethora of niche boutiques, antiquing specialty stores. Shopping and new stores are popping up all over town. You can shop till you drop.
No. 6 – Amazing Place to Raise a Family.
Not only is Wichita Falls a beautiful and fun place to live it’s also super safe. It has less than half of the violent crimes that other cities close by like Dallas, Oklahoma City and even Lawton. Be sure to check out our crime stats and you’ll be surprised how well we fare!
No. 7 – Tons of Amenities
Wichita Falls has a small town feel, but it’s big when it comes to the quality of life. We have 37 public parks more than most cities our size including Abilene, Tyler, Waco and Round Rock. You cannot beat our 20 mile long and growing city-wide Circle Trail.
Biking, hiking and parks not your thing? Wichita Falls has two community theaters and they are incredible. We have a symphony orchestra, ballet company and a thriving art community. We have art walk downtown, a world-class university and a world-class junior college. We have our own hockey and football team. The addition of an amazing professional wrestling hall of fame is now at Big Blue. There are some many things to do I couldn’t possibly name them all in one short blog.
No. 8 – Always Something to Do
We have fairs, festivals and performing arts. We have sports, parades, concerts. We have events and venues geared towards family, kids, seniors, couples, singles and everything in between.
No. 9 – Low Cost of Living
Wichita Falls has an incredibly low cost of living. We were recently named one of the Top 10 least expensive cities to live in. We boast our cost of living that is nearly 14% below the national average. Every year our community is recognized for our desirable cost of living. You can’t beat it. We have affordable housing, low unemployment and great amenities. What else could you ask for our parks are amazing our community is amazing and we deliver more bang for less buck.
No. 10 – NO TRAFFIC!
I’m from Southern California and boy oh boy do we have traffic. Even Dallas our neighbor just South, have horrendous traffic. Houston is like Los Angeles traffic.
Wichita Falls has NO traffic ever! Every once in a while there’s an accident and we might have a five-minute backup but other than that there’s no bumper-to-bumper traffic. It’s a beautiful thing we all take for granted here. You can get from one tip of the town to the other in 20 minutes – it’s fantastic, especially if you want to live minutes from where you work
I usually get to most places in seven minutes or less.
So Wichita Falls is the biggest small town you’ve ever been to. We have all the great things that a big city has with none of the trappings. There’s no traffic, no big government, just good folks and an easy way of life.
