Sulphur Springs, TX - A City With A Country Feel 4.5 rating By Anonymous ( May 23, 2018) I have lived in Sulphur Springs, TX for all of my life. I can not see myself living anywhere else but Sulphur Springs. This small town is located between the cities of Dallas and Texarkana; which makes it a great place to live outside of the big city. The pace here is slower than ...Read More Dallas and I love it.

Sulphur Springs, TX has a unique charm about it. It is full of history and economical development. The school system is great here also, one of the best schools is Douglas Intermediate. The community is also great here, we often have live theatre at the Main Street Theatre. We have annual events such as the Heritage Annual Car Show and the Red, Whites, and Brews festival.

One of the best areas to go in Sulphur Springs is the Celebration Market. The market offers local arts and crafts as well as produce grown in the area. Going to the Celebration Market is really a fun thing to do on the weekends. We have shopping in our downtown, plus we have the advantage of our neighbor, Dallas, and their many shops and malls. Living in Sulphur Springs, TX is great; I especially love the hometown feel of it. Read Less
