Rice rewards residents with small-town ease and big-time access. Positioned along I-45 between Corsicana and Ennis, it puts Dallas within an easy commute while preserving quiet streets and open skies. You’ll find room to spread out, a neighborly pace, and quick runs to everyday essentials—plus a calendar that fills with Friday night games, holiday parades, and community fundraisers.
Families are served by the Rice Independent School District, a close-knit PK–12 district known for personal attention, career and technical opportunities, and spirited extracurriculars. Weekends often lead to the water: anglers and boaters head to Richland-Chambers Reservoir for trophy fishing and broad, scenic coves, while spring brings road trips to the Ennis Bluebonnet Trails for miles of wildflowers. Cultural outings, dining, and historic architecture await just down the road in Corsicana, and continuing education is close by at Navarro College. County services and civic resources are coordinated through Navarro County, making day-to-day life straightforward and connected.
