In terms of historic Texas cities that ooze charm and hold small-town values close to their heart, it doesn’t get much better than Buda. As a suburb of one of the fastest-growing cities in the United States, you’ve probably driven through the town and may have even marveled at the buildings that seem to transport you back into the days of the wild, wild west. While you almost expect to see a sheriff riding in on a horse and checking out the saloon, you’ll actually find families walking their dogs and stopping in to check out the boutiques that line the streets.
There’s no doubt that downtown Buda has something for everyone. From shops that center around antiques and home decor to restaurants that feature local food and treat options. There are some great entertainment spots, and Buda hosts some of the best special events in Texas, including a wiener dog race! Residents and tourists come into town just to chuckle at the dogs putting their short legs to good use and competing to win the race!
Buda is in the heart of the Hill Country and has been named the “Outdoor Capital of Texas.” With 13 parks offering some of the best views in Texas and taking up 268 acres of public land, it’s easy to see why they were given this moniker. Getting outside and enjoying the warm weather is a part of the town’s culture, and the parks also feature ADA accessible trails, so everyone in the family can get in on the fun!
The Scenic City Certification Program recently gave Buda a gold certification, making them one of only 16 Texas cities to receive this high honor. The community was put on the certification team’s radar when they noticed that the strict dark sky regulations, ample parkland, and parking lot landscaping made Buda a wonderful place to live or visit.
If you’re always looking for unique finds and love to shop local, you’re going to want to visit Buda. The town has a passion for small businesses and does everything they can to set mom-and-pop shops up for success. Preserving the small-town feel and charm of the community stems from their ability to keep small businesses alive.
