Sherwood Shores, TX

Tucked along the shores of Lake Texoma and the Red River, Sherwood Shores sits about twenty miles northwest of Sherman. What started decades ago as a quiet collection of weekend fishing camps has steadily evolved into a relaxed, full-time neighborhood of around a thousand residents. Daily life here revolves around the water, with plenty of nearby boat ramps, marinas, and quiet shorelines offering a peaceful escape from busy city life.

As an unincorporated community without a formal city government, Sherwood Shores relies on its active property owners association and local volunteers to help maintain the area and support community services. Living here comes with a quiet, self-reliant routine where grocery runs, major shopping, and schools mean a 25-minute drive into Sherman or Whitesboro. For anyone looking for an unpretentious lakeside spot with lots of open space, that slower pace is part of the appeal.
