Sachse is a medium-sized city located in the state of Texas. With a population of 30,610 people and four associated neighborhoods, Sachse is the 119th largest community in Texas. Sachse has seen a significant amount of newer housing growth in recent years. Quite often, new home construction is the result of new residents moving in who are middle class or wealthier, attracted by jobs, a healthy local economy, or other amenities as they leave nearby or far away areas for greener pastures. This seems to be the case in Sachse, where the median household income is $127,888.00.
Sachse real estate is some of the most expensive in Texas, although Sachse house values don't compare to the most expensive real estate in the U.S.
Also of interest is that Sachse has more people living here who work in computers and math than 95% of the places in the US.
One interesting thing about the economy is that relatively large numbers of people worked from their home: 21.32% of the workforce. While this number may seem small overall, as a fraction of the total workforce this is high compared to the rest of the county. These workers are often telecommuters who work in knowledge-based, white-collar professions. For example, Silicon Valley has large numbers of people who telecommute. Other at-home workers may be self-employed people who operate small businesses out of their homes.
Sachse is a good choice for families with children because of several factors. Many other families with children live here, making it a place where both parents and children are more likely to develop social ties with other families. The city’s good public school district and large population of college-educated adults provide an environment conducive to academic success. Many people own their own single-family homes, providing areas for children to play and stability in the community. Finally, Sachse’s overall crime rate is lower than average for the country.
One downside of living in Sachse, however, is that residents on average have to contend with a long commute, spending on average 31.80 minutes every day commuting to work.
