De Leon brings together small-town ease and proud agricultural roots, with roadside produce stands and community traditions that make newcomers feel at home. Set in Comanche County and within an easy drive of Stephenville, it’s known for the long-running Peach and Melon Festival and tractor pull, where families, farmers, and former residents reunite each summer.
Weekends here often revolve around the outdoors. Anglers and paddlers head to Proctor Lake for clear-water fishing, boating, and shady campgrounds, while golfers take on tree-lined fairways at Par Country Club. In town, locally owned cafes and shops keep everyday errands simple and social, and seasonal events pack the calendar with live music, parades, and tasting tents.
Families appreciate the scale and support of the De Leon Independent School District, with strong Bearcat athletics, FFA, and hands-on academics that tie into the area’s ranching and tech-forward ag programs. Nearby universities, including Tarleton State, expand dual-credit and continuing-education options without sacrificing the commute. Healthcare needs are well covered with specialists and a 24/7 ER at Comanche County Medical Center, plus clinics close to home.
Whether you’re eyeing acreage near the lake or a bungalow close to downtown, De Leon offers practical value, genuine neighborliness, and room to grow. When it’s time to buy or sell, Agent Pronto can match you with a proven local agent who knows the market and the milestones ahead.
