2019 Best Places to Live in Taylor CountyAbout this List

Abilene

• City in Texas
• 347 reviews

Current Resident: Abilene is a growing, bustling college town filled with a lot of history as well as new trendy businesses. I've been in Abilene for over 12 years and continue to love calling it home. It has a little bit of everything which makes it very exciting for tourists and locals alike. Abilene is very centrally located which means that any neighboring city is just a short drive away. Recently, some changes are being made to the historic downtown area including plans for a new upscale hotel and some new local breweries and restaurants which is sure to increase tourism as well. I love the people in Abilene more than anything. The city is just big enough to spread out while running into people you know every once in a while. I have everything I need right here, in little'ol Abilene.

Potosi

• Town in Texas
• 2 reviews

Current Resident: This is on the outskirts of Abilene. It has a volunteer fire department. It's pretty quiet, middle to upper class neighborhoods. There's also some ranches scattered around. Some business development has rumored to build into it, but we haven't seen any in the decade we've lived here. Great school district!

Merkel

Current Resident: I love Merkel! Such a cute little small town. The downtown area is especially cute, complete with brick roads and a little gazebo. I wish some of the old buildings downtown could be restored and used for something!

Trent

• Town in Texas
• 5 reviews

Current Resident: We moved to Trent for the school. The community here is wonderful. In the event of a tragedy in our community, the people pulled together. We became more of a family than just neighbors. I would like to see more upgrades in our town. It would be nice to have sidewalks and paved roads. The thought of more businesses would help our town grow.
