It’s A Great Life.....When You Live It In Clifton!

Not only do you relive the virtuous social values of yesteryear, but you live in a growing and prosperous Texas city that is on the cutting edge of the traditional American Dream!

Clifton offers a level of diversity that most communities its size do not. For instance, the Goodall-Witcher Hospital and Clifton Medical Clinic have long served residents of the greater Bosque County area, providing quality health care locally and the psychological safety net that comes with knowing there’s a top-notch facility just down the street, with numerous doctors and health-care providers who are highly trained and eager to be of service to their neighbors. The size of the complex and its propensity to upgrade and offer state-of-the-art equipment has made it almost legendary in this region.

For those who aspire to enhance their creative talents, there’s the Bosque Conservatory — a facility started in the early 1980s that provides area residents with an outlet for expressing and developing their abilities related to a wide range of fine art. Several of the nation’s great western artists have chosen Clifton as their home, because of the rugged beauty and inspiration that Bosque County provides. In fact, Clifton has been chosen as one of the top 100 small art cities in the nation.

Clifton offers a highly rated, growing school system, churches of numerous denominations, service clubs and organizations that area residents are eager to join, an award-winning museum, and a business community that is flourishing. 

Clifton’s city government takes a positive attitude toward service of its residents and is working hard to assure that the city’s infrastructure remains solid so that “the great life,” which is the Chamber of Commerce motto, is perpetuated. Looking to the future, the city is one of the few small Texas cities that are assured an abundant water supply and a new sewer treatment system. Clifton offers a very low crime rate, beautiful parks and playgrounds, and excellent accommodations for retirees.

Located in south-central Bosque County, Clifton is part of the beautiful hill country of Texas, with diverse recreational capabilities all around. There’s Lake Whitney 10 miles to the northeast, Meridian State Park nine miles to the north, the Bosque River that flows through Clifton, a city swimming pool, tennis courts, sports arenas, walking trails, basketball courts, tourist attractions like the Bosque Memorial Museum, and nature trails. For persons wanting to live in a smaller city but have easy access to metropolitan areas, Clifton can provide the best of both worlds, as Waco and Temple are just half-an-hour away.

Clifton is being accurately described as a fantastic place for families subject to the rat race and insecurities of big cities to relocate. Many who have moved here have looked throughout the state for a place to raise their families in a value-rich setting that provides opportunities for growth, prosperity, and a pleasant way of life — to expose their children to a way of life that is vanishing in much of society today. 

They see in Clifton an energetic community, with wide and evolving diversity — a city that provides a solid foundation on which citizens are given the opportunity to become the best they can be.
