Buffalo Gap blends frontier-era character with easy, everyday living just a short drive from Abilene in the rolling hills of Taylor County. Weekends often mean trails and tall oaks at Abilene State Park, lake breezes at Lake Abilene, and unhurried sunsets that remind you why you chose a smaller community.
History lives large here. Stroll the streetscapes of the Buffalo Gap Historic Village and you’ll see how the region took shape, then cap the day with mesquite-grilled perfection at the nationally acclaimed Perini Ranch Steakhouse. Family outings are easy, too: the Abilene Zoo is close enough for morning visits and back-in-time for lunch, while festivals and art in nearby Abilene keep calendars full.
Schools are a standout. Buffalo Gap is served by Jim Ned CISD, known for supportive teachers, strong academics, and spirited athletics. Students continue on to Jim Ned High School in Tuscola, and higher education options abound a short commute away at Abilene Christian University and McMurry University.
Housing ranges from shady, established streets to acreage properties with room for gardens, workshops, and starry skies. Daily needs are covered locally, with major shopping, medical care, and employers a quick hop into Abilene. Whether you’re moving for schools, space, or a slower pace with easy city access, Buffalo Gap offers a balanced way of life.
