Cedar Creek Lake Town
Welcome to Eustace, a small Henderson County city on Highway 175, between Cedar Creek Lake and Purtis Creek State Park in East Texas.
Eustace is a city in Henderson County, Texas, set along U.S. Highway 175 in the rolling countryside of East Texas. Its population was 1,137 at the 2020 census, up from 991 a decade earlier, and the town remains a small, close-knit community whose identity is closely tied to the surrounding lakes and parks. The county seat of Athens lies a short drive to the east, while Highway 175 runs westward toward the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, giving Eustace a practical connection between rural East Texas and the region's larger cities. Recreation defines much of life in Eustace. Cedar Creek Lake, a large reservoir established in the mid-1960s, sits about five miles southwest and is one of East Texas's most popular boating, fishing, and weekend destinations. Purtis Creek State Park, established in 1988, lies about four miles north and offers camping, fishing, and paddling in a quieter natural setting. Between these two anchors, Eustace serves as a convenient home base for lake-area recreation and outdoor living, with many residents keeping boats, RVs, and fishing gear close at hand. The town is served by Eustace Independent School District, a PreK-12 district with four schools and roughly 1,700 students that also supports community-college coursework at Trinity Valley Community College. Housing is affordable, with a mix of older in-town homes and larger rural lots, and the town square anchors a modest commercial core. For families, retirees, and anyone seeking a quiet, lower-cost East Texas setting with lake and park access, Eustace offers a small-town pace with Athens and the DFW corridor within reach.
