01Overview
For many buyers, yes. Sachse pairs an A-rated high school (Sachse High, 93, in 2025) with a Collin County side in A-rated Wylie ISD, and it sits on the Bush Turnpike about 15 minutes from CityLine and Richardson’s job centers. The trade-offs are a higher tax rate on the Dallas County side (about 2.36%), a longer drive to downtown Dallas and DFW Airport, and limited shopping inside the city itself.
Sachse was founded in 1845 by William Sachse, an immigrant from Herford in Prussia who bought 640 acres here. A railroad depot followed in 1886, first labeled “Saxie” until the spelling was corrected in 1892, and the city incorporated in 1956 and adopted a home-rule charter in 1986.
Sachse is still growing. Census estimates show it rising from about 27,100 residents in 2020 to roughly 32,800 in July 2025, with about 63% of residents in Dallas County and the rest in Collin County. The city sits between SH-78 and the President George Bush Turnpike, about a mile north of Firewheel Town Center in Garland.
The county line matters here. Dallas County homes attend Garland ISD and Sachse High School, while Collin County homes attend Wylie ISD, and the two sides carry different tax rates. We confirm the school district and tax rate for every address before you compare homes.
Sachse’s total tax rate swings by about 30 cents per $100 depending on the county: roughly $2.36 on the Dallas County side versus $2.06 on the Collin County side in 2025. On a $430,000 home, that is about $1,300 a year before exemptions.

03Where to live
Sachse neighborhoods range from golf-course homes on the Wylie line to new townhomes near the old town center. These are the areas our buyers ask about most.
A large master-planned community on the Sachse–Wylie line around Woodbridge Golf Club, with homes on both sides of the city limit. The Sachse portion is on the Collin County side.
The original town center near the railroad, which the city zones separately to guide redevelopment.
A development by PMB Capital Investments with its own public improvement district, created in 2018 to pay for infrastructure, so homes there carry an annual PID assessment.
A townhome project on the city’s list of current and future residential developments.
Another townhome community on the city’s current residential project list.
A residential addition listed among the city’s current and future projects.
Most Sachse listings are resales in established neighborhoods such as Sachse Ranch Estates, Jackson Meadows, Hudson Crossing and Park Lake Estates. New homes come mainly from smaller infill and townhome projects. Ask us which streets fall in Garland ISD or Wylie ISD.
04Market
Zillow’s typical Sachse home value was about $428,300 in September 2026, down about 3% from a year earlier. In ZIP 75048, Realtor.com counted 113 active listings (up about 8% year over year) at a median list price of about $489,000, with a median of 69 days on market and about 41% of listings showing a price cut.
That share of price cuts gives buyers room to negotiate, especially on homes that need updates. Sellers do best when they price against recent sales in the same school district, since Garland ISD and Wylie ISD homes can trade differently.

| Typical total, Collin side | ≈ $2.06 |
| PID (The Station only) | Annual assessment |
At about 2.36% before exemptions, a $430,000 home on the Dallas County side would owe roughly $10,100 a year; on the Collin County side, about $8,800. The $140,000 school homestead exemption lowers both.
Homes in The Station pay a public improvement district assessment on top of regular taxes. Elsewhere in Sachse, MUDs and PIDs are uncommon, but we check the tax certificate for every home.
