Rhome, TX

Rhome is a quiet Wise County town located about 25 miles northwest of downtown Fort Worth. With roughly 1,700 residents, it gives you a genuine small-town feel right at the crossroads of Highway 114 and US-287. The community started as a railroad depot in the 1880s and has kept its open, countryside atmosphere even as North Texas expands. Today, neighborhoods branch out from a quiet center, giving residents plenty of yard space, starry skies, and a straightforward commute to major job centers around Fort Worth and the Alliance corridor.

Rhome offers a comfortable blend of country living, strong local schools, and convenient highway access for anyone looking to settle on the western edge of the metroplex.
