ATHENS, TX
LiftMaster Gate Openers in Athens: what’s different here.
Athens is the Henderson County seat, a town of about 12,900 people (2020 census) at the crossing of US-175, SH-31 and SH-19, roughly 60 miles southeast of Dallas. It calls itself the Black-Eyed Pea Capital of the World, is home to Trinity Valley Community College, and has the 1,800-acre Lake Athens on its east side, with Cedar Creek Lake to the northwest. The City of Athens requires a permit for any new or replacement fence (8-foot maximum, smooth side out along a right-of-way, and drive gates in side or rear fences need an approved drive approach and curb cut), and on Lake Athens the Athens Municipal Water Authority separately permits structures built on its shoreline property.
Gates & Operators in Athens
Inside Athens city limits a drive gate in a side or rear fence needs an approved drive approach and curb cut, so the gate width is planned around the concrete, while lake and wooded acreage properties outside town usually want a solar operator at a gate set back under the trees.
The ground
Athens sits where East Texas begins: sandy loam over dense clay subsoil, with deeper sands toward the east of the county and pines and hardwoods along the fence lines, so posts dig easily at the top but need concrete deep enough to bear on firm ground below the sand.
Homes and lots
Older bungalows and cottages near downtown, 1960s–1990s ranch houses in established subdivisions such as Southwood, lake homes on Lake Athens including the gated Oakwood community, and wooded acreage out on the county roads.
