About Unity Subdivision
When my family moved to Smiley, Texas from San Antonio in 2000, we were looking for a place of solace away from hectic city life. My mother stumbled across the quiet town of Smiley after viewing a couple other properties in the surrounding towns, but Smiley just felt right. It was where we felt led to and were meant to be.

What stood out about Smiley, is that it was still close enough to the city for me to finish college, close enough for my brother to go to finish school in Nixon and Smiley, and convenient enough for my mother and father to work and shop locally.
My brother’s school was literally right around the corner, and my dad would always mention how much he would enjoy the commute home from work and the peace he felt when escaping the “gravity” of the city. We realized how happy living in the country could be for a family wanting to make a fresh start.
Eventually I graduated college, got several decent jobs in the surrounding towns, and with the prompting of my mother I began planning on purchasing a nearby tract of land close to our property. We would often walk down our quiet driveway road, enjoying the scenery and talking about the day’s events.
The day that I purchased the property, I was so proud of my hard work and thankful for my mother’s savvy, love and support. About three years ago mom passed away, but one of the things that echoes in my mind is the amount of sacrifice she made for our family so that we could have a secure future. It was at that point that I decided to part with 15 acres and the idea of Unity Subdivision was born, since she tried to Unify in love everyone that she came across. I hoped to make other families’ journeys as beautiful and rewarding as ours, but with an easy transition into country living.
Each lot has access to City Water, City Sewer, and GVEC Electric at the street. Subdivision HOA in effect. We welcome mobile or manufactured homes 10 years old or newer in good condition.
Located just outside city limits, Unity Subdivision offers not only the benefits of peaceful country life but convenient access to medical care, schools, work, recreation and shopping.
Look forward to hearing from you soon,
Michael
Local Schools & Businesses
Nixon-Smiley Consolidated Independent School District is a joint effort between the City of Smiley and Nixon to provide quality elementary, middle and high school education to the residents in the surrounding areas.
As of October 2021, Smiley Elementary adopted a new program that aims to help students self-direct their vision of future goals and take intentional steps to reach them. It teaches personal responsibility to make positive choices related to our emotions, attitudes and actions. Tutoring is also available to any student needing help. Because of the small school, each student has more one on one time with teachers. Students in the district also have an opportunity to participate in basketball, football, FFA, and theater arts, just to name a few.

Smiley, Texas was established in the early 1870’s when Mr. John Smiley settled by a lake which was later known as Smiley Lake. It wasn’t until the 1900’s that maps showed the town’s name listed as “Smiley”. Smiley is located at the intersection of US Hwy 87, FM 3234 and FM 108, twenty five miles south of the City of Gonzales in Southwestern Gonzales County. Just to name a few of the great places that Smiley is situated by, it is: 69 min from downtown San Antonio, 55 minutes from downtown Victoria and 41 min from downtown Seguin.
