Midlothian TX vs Waxahachie TX?

I’m looking to buy a home. I’m pretty familiar with Waxahachie. While both cities are relatively rural, which city do you see having more growth in the next 5-10 years?

Any other thoughts on why you’d buy in one place vs. the other?

Midlothian is a cooler name, but meat church is in Waxahachie. I’ll side with brisket

I am considering the same thing. Was in Frisco and hated it. I favor Wax bc it’s a little further out and prettier.

Both are South of Dallas. From what I’ve observed, the DFW metroplex doesn’t generally expand South. It has historically mostly expanded East, North, and West. Will that change in the future? I don’t know but I wouldn’t expect it to change based on how far north people are willing to move rather than moving south.

Folks would rather live 20 min from Oklahoma than live with minorities I guess
