Moving to the Corsicana Area: Navarro, Ellis & Freestone County Relocation Guide

Corsicana and the surrounding counties offer small-town living about an hour south of Dallas, with lakes, land and historic downtowns close by. Here's a quick guide if you're thinking about moving here.

Getting around

Interstate 45 runs through Corsicana and Ennis toward Dallas, and US 287 and I-35E serve Waxahachie and Midlothian, so the Dallas–Fort Worth area is within driving distance for work, shopping and flights.

Choosing an area

• Navarro County: Corsicana, the county seat, plus smaller towns and plenty of rural acreage.
• Ellis County: Waxahachie, Ennis, Midlothian and Red Oak sit closest to Dallas.
• Freestone County: Fairfield, Teague and Streetman, with lots of land and access to Richland Chambers Lake.
• Henderson County: Athens and the towns around Cedar Creek Lake.

Buying from out of town

• Get pre-approved with a lender licensed in Texas before you visit.
• Use video tours to narrow your list, then plan a focused in-person trip.
• Many parts of the buying process, including e-signing, can be done remotely, and closing can often be arranged with a mobile notary or a title company where you are.
• Line up your move dates with your closing and any lease you're leaving.
