retirement ready!

"Athens, Texas is retirement ready! Athens is the largest city and the county seat of Henderson County.  Athens is a town filled with a great sense of pride on the quality of living that has been established for the population of 12,000.  Surrounded by lakes, ponds and woodlands, Athens is only an hour away from Dallas and you need only to step out your back door to enjoy a breath fresh air and the smell of pines.

Home to an extensive medical community, Athens array of medical services is a comparative to those of large metropolitan cities.  East Texas Medical Center offers a 117 bed unit , Level III Trauma Center – 24/7 Emergency Care, EMS Ambulances and an Air 1 Emergency Helicopter."
