Iraan is a compact, authentic West Texas oil-and-ranch town (population ~1,055) with wide skies, low cost of living, a tight-knit community and easy access to outdoor time—stargazing, river canyons and local history give multi-week stays a peaceful, character-filled rhythm rather than boredom.
For more variety on weekends, Fort Stockton is the nearest larger hub—about a 62‑mile drive—where you’ll find more restaurants, shops and services, so you can enjoy quiet daytime weeks in Iraan and still reach conveniences and weekend options within a reasonable drive.
