Waco Overview

Waco, Texas is known as the state’s heartland—and with good reason. It’s a populous area and a great central location with over 81% of the state’s residents living within a 200-mile radius. Located in McLennan County, the city offers an array of outdoor sports and recreational activities, a lively arts scene, and great historic sites like the Texas Sports Hall of Fame. With many options for great apartmens in Waco available to locals, finding your new home here is a cinch!

What is the history of Waco?

The city is named for the Waco, a Wichita Native American tribe who occupied the area’s western riverbank in the 1800s. In the early 1900s, the Waco became US citizens of what was then known as Waco Village. Over time, bridges were constructed, businesses prospered, and the city’s population expanded.

How is the weather in Waco?

The average rainfall in Waco is about 36 inches per year, compared to the US average of 37 inches. That said, sunshine abounds in the city—in fact, it’s sunny roughly 230 days of the year. Summertime is undoubtedly hot, but snowfall is next to zero, making it ideal for those who love warmer climates.

How do I get around town?

With plenty of parkland and vibrant shopping areas, Waco has pockets of pedestrian-friendly space downtown. However, residents do need cars to get around otherwise. Waco Regional Airport is just 20 minutes from the heart of the city, and it’s also 90 miles south of Dallas-Forth Worth International Airport. If you’re downtown, you can hop aboard the Silo District Trolley and enjoy easy access to the city’s most bustling spots. The Downtown Area Shuttle (DASH) provides free service both downtown and at the Baylor campus.

What is the Waco commute like?

Interstate-35, known as the Jack Kultgen Freeway in Waco, has between six to eight lanes in the city. Overlapping I-35 is US Highway 77. Traffic patterns ebb and flow in Waco—construction is not uncommon along I-35, and road closures may cause congestion.

What are the local media outlets?

The daily paper is the Waco Tribune-Herald, while Waco Today magazine is published monthly. Popular radio stations include news talk KWBU-103.3FM, WACO 100-Country, and rock outlet KBRQ-102.5 The Bear.

Why live in Waco, TX?

Warm and inviting, Waco is emblematic of the Texas heartland. Outdoor enthusiasts enjoy everything from hiking to fishing, and the area’s flourishing arts scene includes the historic Hippodrome Theatre. The equally historic River Square Center is a charming alternative to traditional shopping centers, which you’ll also find in equal abundance in town. Waco has grown in diversity, and it’s a prime spot for growing families and those seeking an authentic Texas experience.

What Waco landmarks should I see?

The famous Suspension Bridge was built in 1870, and at that time it was one of the longest bridges in the world. The lighted trail along the Riverwalk offers a stunning look at the Brazos River. There are also over 300 historical markers in McLennan County alone—a must for history buffs.

What is there to do around Waco?

A walk along the Suspension Bridge is at the top of every visitor’s list. On one side is Indian Spring Park, while the other is home to Martin Luther King, Jr. park. The bridge itself is often the spot for local festivals, special events, and even parties. The Riverwalk is Waco’s other must-do, providing scenic views of the Brazos River and several miles of lighted trails. Sports fans have it made here in Waco too with plenty of options year round to get out of your Waco apartments and cheer for the hometown Baylor Bears.

Any annual festivals or Waco events to know?

The biggest festival in town is 4th on the Brazos, where locals gather to celebrate the country’s independence. It’s a beautiful spectacle of sight, sound, and delicious food. Wine lovers flock to Rootstock, a single-day wine festival that celebrates the best wineries in Texas and also offers plenty of good eats and activities. In nearby West, each year the town celebrates Westfest with great food, rides, washer and horeshoe tournaments and plenty of beer. It's really good times!

Where are the nearby vacation spots?

By car, both Austin and Dallas are only roughly an hour and a half away providing Waco locals with great options for nearby vacations. Dallas features commemorations to President John F. Kennedy, and is also home to the Dallas Museum of Art (which happens to be one of the country’s largest art museums). Austin is fit for those who love to be entertained. Music lovers especially love the city’s electric entertainment scene—it’s the place to be for live country and rock performances.

Where is the best place to move in Waco?

The Hewitt, Robinson and Woodway areas are seen as particularly attractive areas of Waco to move. With plenty of options in affordable Waco apartments and homes available here, these are prime spots. Home to middle-to-upper middle class residents, they are largely peaceful, residential areas where crime is low and schools are plentiful. The areas are in relatively close proximity to downtown Waco, providing each access to some most well-known sites and shopping areas while also remaining pleasantly distant from the typical freneticism of a big city.
