Welcome to Gunter

Where Country Living Meets Modern Growth

Gunter offers something increasingly difficult to find in North Texas: a peaceful, rural setting without giving up access to the larger communities and amenities around it. Located in southern Grayson County along Preston Road, Gunter sits between the Dallas North Tollway and SH 289, with Frisco and Sherman both within reach.

The community has grown beyond its small-town roots, with new housing and development bringing more options to the area while the city continues to emphasize its country setting.

For buyers, that creates an interesting mix of established homes, larger properties, and newer high-end communities. Understanding the differences between them can help you find the part of Gunter that best fits the way you want to live.
