Alma, TX

Alma is a small, quiet community in Ellis County, located about six miles southeast of Ennis along Interstate 45. Home to fewer than 400 residents, the town got its start in the mid-1800s as a railroad stop and farming hub. It has held onto that relaxed, rural character ever since, making it a great spot for newcomers who value open land and quiet nights.

Living here offers a peaceful country setting with quick access to everyday conveniences. Thanks to Interstate 45, residents can drive into Ennis for groceries, schools, and dining in under ten minutes, or head straight into the Dallas area in about forty-five minutes. It is an easygoing community suited for anyone looking for acreage, friendly neighbors, and a simple commute.
