Troy, TX Homes: Small-Town Charm Near I-35


Looking for small-town charm with quick interstate access? Troy, Texas is a great option. This friendly city sits right along Interstate 35 in northeastern Bell County, about 8 miles north of Temple and 26 miles south of Waco. That means residents enjoy peaceful, small-town living with an easy commute to nearby cities for work, shopping, and dining.

Troy's story goes back to the 1850s, when the original town, now known as Old Troy, was settled a couple miles north along Elm Creek. When the railroad came through in 1882, most residents moved to the new town site, which became known as Troy. By 1884, the town had grown to include churches, a hotel, a cotton gin, and even its own newspaper. Troy continued growing as an important shipping point for cotton, livestock, and farm goods well into the 1900s.

Troy also has a fun bit of pop culture history: for a short time in the 1990s, the town renamed itself "Troy Aikman, Texas," in honor of the beloved Dallas Cowboys quarterback! Today, Troy keeps its friendly, small-town feel while continuing to grow, offering families a peaceful place to call home with quick highway access for commuting.

For buyers who want small-town warmth, a bit of Texas charm, and an easy drive to Temple or Waco, Troy is a wonderful place to settle down.
