(NEXSTAR) - Buying a home is a major decision that can be very difficult to make. With so many factors to take into consideration like the cost of living in the area, the type of jobs that are available, and if it's an okay place to start a family, it can be a near impossible decision to make.

For those of you living in Texas, a study performed by Niche was able to narrow down where exactly in the state were the best places to buy a home.

Landing at the top of the list was DeCordova, which is located outside of Fort Worth. With a population of 3,035 people, the town's median home value is set at $293,500.

The town received high grades in its jobs, housing, public schools, and its cost of living, receiving an A in all four categories.

Rounding out the rest of the top five is Woodway (a suburb of Waco) at No. 2, followed by Old River-Winfree (located east of Houston), then Lantana (a suburb of Dallas), and finally Fritch (found in the panhandle) at No. 5.
