Wake Village, TX

Sitting right on the western edge of Texarkana, Wake Village is a quiet, established suburb with an easygoing neighborhood feel. The community got its start in the mid-1940s as housing for workers at the Red River Army Depot and Lone Star Army Ammunition Plant, taking its name from the historic defense of Wake Island. Today, it remains a popular landing spot for people working along the depot corridor or in Texarkana who want a short daily commute and a peaceful home base.

Families are drawn to the community for its calm streets, local parks, and solid schools. Younger kids attend Wake Village Elementary right in town, while older students head into the Texarkana Independent School District for Texas Middle and Texas High School. With grocery stores, dining, and healthcare just a few minutes down the road, living here gives you the comfort of a small town alongside all the conveniences of the city.
