GRAYSON CO. GROWTH STRIKES SMALL TOWNS TOO

Tom Bean: Beacon of Growth Near Booming Cities

Tom Bean boasts a strategic location with close proximity to the bustling cities of Sherman and Denison. This positioning offers investors access to thriving economic hubs while enjoying the tranquil charm of small-town living.


With a growing demand for homes in the area, investing in Tom Bean promises excellent returns on investment, especially right now as the growth of the area hasn't boomed into Tom Bean quite yet.


The primary reason investors should consider Tom Bean is its close proximity to Sherman and Denison. Both cities are experiencing rapid economic expansion, fueled by the tech sector growth and the tech money that was granted to Sherman.

Tom Bean's Namesake

Thomas Bean, a wealthy Bonham landowner and surveyor, donated fifty acres of land in southeast Grayson County to help build a railroad line from Sherman to Commerce.


He would die in 1887, but the City of Tom Bean would be established that same year.


It wouldn't be long before the small community would start thriving and drawing residents and businesses from surrounding towns.


And it's growth continues today because of its proximity to Sherman and Denison

Additionally, the infrastructure development in and around Tom Bean further enhances its appeal to investors. The region benefits from well-maintained roads and highways, facilitating seamless connectivity to major employment centers in Sherman and Denison.


Furthermore, lower property taxes and relatively affordable housing costs allow investors to maximize their returns and achieve higher cash flow margins.


Overall, investing in Tom Bean, Texas, presents an opportunity for real estate investors seeking to leverage the growth potential of the Sherman-Denison metropolitan area. With its strategic location, robust infrastructure, affordable real estate prices, and quality-of-life amenities, Tom Bean offers a perfect blend of urban convenience and suburban tranquility.

TOM BEAN:

FROM RAILROAD TOWN TO SATELLITE CITY

Forming a Foundation in 20th Century

In the early days of the 20th century, the city boomed. Within a few years, it boasted a grain company, a furniture company, a drugstore, a newspaper called the Tom Bean Bulletin, a saloon, a dance hall, a movie theater, and the Tom Bean social club.


By 1891, the city school was operating out of a two-story building with a large auditorium and several churches were built in the area.

Importance of Its Neighbors

As time progressed, the sharp increase in automobile travel and transport, and the decline of cotton as the principal crop of the area, led businesses to the larger cities of Denison and Sherman.


Nowadays, Tom Bean's importance as an investment satellite is its proximity to Sherman, where tens of thousands of jobs are expected to come in the next 5-10 years. Where will they move if not the closest towns around?

TOM BEAN IN THE NEWS

Storing corn a key aspect of marketing plan

Farm Progress


From Bruce and Chad Wetzel’s shop yard, the view downhill into bottomland is framed by several grain bins on either side of an opening into a field of corn that’s bordered on the backside by a brilliant green stand of soybeans.


It’s a good photo op. But those grain bins offer much more than an ideal place to take a photo.


“Grain storage will make money,” Chad says. Their bins represent 300,000 bushels of storage capacity. “We have another 50,000 bushels of capacity on another farm,” he says. “I’d like to have more — enough to store wheat and corn. I think we can make money storing corn and wheat into the winter.”
