Rising Star balances wide-open skies with an easygoing pace, making it a thoughtful choice for anyone seeking room to breathe without losing regional convenience. Set in Eastland County, the community sits within a comfortable drive of Brownwood, Cisco, and Comanche, putting shopping, healthcare, and employers within reach while keeping everyday life refreshingly local.
Families appreciate the close-knit feel of Rising Star ISD, where small class sizes, hands-on ag and STEM opportunities, and Friday night lights build long-lasting school spirit. Higher education is close at hand, too, with workforce and academic pathways through Ranger College and four-year programs at Howard Payne University in nearby Brownwood.
Weekends invite you outside. Anglers and paddlers head to Lake Brownwood State Park for coves, trails, and starry skies, while hunters, birders, and cyclists take advantage of scenic backroads and seasonal wildlife. Proctor Lake, local golf, and downtown experiences in surrounding communities add variety, from live music and festivals to farmers markets and hometown diners. Housing options range from in-town cottages to acreage, giving first-time buyers, downsizers, and hobby ranchers room to match their goals.
