Sachse, Texas real estate
Why buyers choose Sachse, TX
Sachse covers about 9.9 square miles straddling the Dallas–Collin county line, northeast of Dallas. It sits on SH 78 and the President George Bush Turnpike, about a mile north of Firewheel Town Center and roughly 30 minutes from downtown Dallas off-peak.
Sachse is mostly residential. Most people commute out to jobs along the Bush Turnpike, US-75, and in Dallas, with an average commute of about 30 minutes. Its character comes from established subdivisions, the Woodbridge golf community, the newer Station district near SH 78, and the 34-acre Heritage Park.
Median household income is $131,808 and 48.5% of adults hold a bachelor's degree. About 85% of homes are owner-occupied. The south side is Garland ISD and the Collin County side is Wylie ISD, so the address decides the school district and the tax bill.

Redfin reported a median sale price of $429,795 in September 2026, down 3.4% from a year earlier. The middle half of recent sales ran from about $385,000 to $550,000. Woodbridge and the larger custom-style homes sit above the median.
Is Sachse a good place to live?
For many buyers, yes. Sachse is quiet and mostly residential, with 85% owner-occupancy, a median household income of $131,808, and quick Bush Turnpike access. The trade-offs are higher taxes on the Dallas County side and little new construction.
Which school district serves Sachse?
Two districts serve Sachse. Dallas County addresses are generally in Garland ISD, which scored 86 in 2026 and rates Sachse High an A. Collin County addresses, including Woodbridge, are generally in Wylie ISD, rated A in 2025. Verify by address.
What are property taxes in Sachse?
On the Dallas County side with Garland ISD, the 2026 combined rate is about 2.36% before exemptions. On the Collin County side with Wylie ISD, it is about 2.06–2.10%. A $140,000 school homestead exemption lowers the bill noticeably.
Are there MUDs or PIDs in Sachse?
Most Sachse homes are in established subdivisions inside city limits, and no MUD-heavy communities like those in the outer suburbs turned up. Still, check the tax certificate and title commitment for any district or assessment before closing.
Is Sachse in Dallas County or Collin County?
Both. The southern part of Sachse is in Dallas County and the northern and eastern parts are in Collin County. The county sets the county, college, and hospital taxes, and generally the school district too.
How long is the commute from Sachse to Dallas?
Downtown Dallas is about 30 minutes off-peak by the Bush Turnpike or SH 78. Richardson and Plano job centers are similar or closer. Census data puts the average Sachse commute at 29.5 minutes.
Is there new construction in Sachse?
Very little. Sachse is largely built out, and current new-home communities nearby are mostly in Wylie, Rowlett, and Royse City. In Sachse, newer options are resales in The Station and infill or custom lots in areas like Sable Hills.
Is now a good time to buy in Sachse?
Buyers have more leverage than last year. The median price is down 3.4%, homes take about 46 days to sell, and 47% of listings have had a price cut. Updated homes in popular areas can still sell near or above list.
Do homes in Sachse sell above asking?
Some do. Redfin data shows 13.3% of September 2026 sales closed above list, while the average closed at about 98.1% of list price. Pricing, condition, and the neighborhood make the difference.
Does Sachse have public transit?
Sachse is not a DART member city, so there is no local DART bus or rail. Most residents drive. The nearest DART service is in Garland.
What loan options work well for Sachse homes?
Conventional loans with 3–10% down are common at Sachse prices. FHA and VA also fit many homes. With frequent price cuts, a seller-paid rate buydown can lower the payment more than a similar price reduction.
