Downtown Sherman

Welcome, and thank you for visiting Downtown Sherman. Ours is a unique urban community located less than an hour north of the DFW metroplex. As Sherman's city center and county seat of Grayson County, the neighborhood has a long and rich past, and we are now looking forward to a bright future as a sustainable mixed-use community. Our neighborhood already boasts a mix of retail shops, restaurants and cafés, arts and sports venues, professional services and opportunities for urban living. In addition, we are currently in the early stages of a full-scale development plan for the neighborhood. Whether you are a Sherman resident or are from out of town, a prospective business owner or developer, join us in our celebration of Sherman Downtown Now!
