Waxahachie blends small‑town charm with surprising variety: a walkable, historic downtown of Victorian architecture, cozy restaurants, craft spots, galleries and seasonal festivals (including the Scarborough Renaissance Festival), so you’ll have pleasant off‑shift options and local character for multi‑week stays.
Plus, it’s commuter‑friendly—about 30 miles south of Dallas and ~45 miles from Fort Worth—so big‑city sports, concerts, major dining and airports are an easy weekend escape.
