About the Area

280 Waterbuck Way is located in Gatesville, Texas, in Coryell County. Coryell County sits immediately west of Bell County, sharing the Fort Cavazos influence while maintaining a more rural character. Gatesville, the county seat, is a small working-class Texas town surrounded by ranches and cedar breaks that have changed little over the past century.

The Leon River flows through Coryell County, and Mother Neff State Park, the first state park established in Texas, sits on the Leon River within the county. The terrain features limestone hills and cedar brakes characteristic of the eastern Hill Country transition zone.

Gatesville had an estimated population of 16,058 as of 2023. The 76538 zip code has a median household income of $61,103, a median home value of $125,700, and a median age of 51.8. The average household size is 2.2 people.

Fort Cavazos overflow, cattle ranching, corrections industry employment, and agriculture anchor the Coryell County economy. The county offers affordable acreage at prices well below neighboring Bell County despite similar proximity to Fort Cavazos employment.
