Clifton is a charming, walkable small town with a Norse historic district, lively downtown arts and wineries, riverside trails and quick access to Lake Whitney — an easy, scenic place to enjoy weeks of cozy cafes, community events and outdoor time rather than feeling stuck.
When you want bigger-city options, Waco is about 35 miles away with museums, restaurants and Baylor-area amenities, and Temple is roughly 64 miles away for larger hospitals and transit connections.
