Leon County blends small-town ease with excellent connectivity. From the county seat, Centerville, you’re roughly halfway between Dallas and Houston along I‑45, with quick day trips to Huntsville and neighboring Freestone County. You’ll find wide-open acreage, tidy in-town homes, and secluded tracts near Lake Limestone—options that suit first-time buyers, growing households, and retirees alike—while sellers benefit from steady corridor traffic and a loyal local market.
Outdoorsy weekends often begin at Fort Boggy State Park, where families hike shaded trails, fish the lake, and cool off at the designated swim area. Anglers and boaters treasure Lake Limestone for its quiet coves and healthy populations of largemouth bass, catfish, and crappie. Throughout the year, community festivals, youth sports, and rodeo events keep calendars full, reinforcing the county’s welcoming, show-up-and-pitch-in spirit.
Schools are a point of pride. Leon ISD, Buffalo ISD, and Centerville ISD offer competitive academics, strong agriculture and CTE programs, and Friday night traditions that bring everyone together. Homeowners and investors appreciate straightforward local resources such as the Leon County Appraisal District for valuations and exemptions, plus responsive county services.
