Top neighborhoods in Waco

Baylor
What it’s like to live in Baylor
Student renters enjoy Baylor's walkable access to campus from historic homes converted to multi-unit housing, where wraparound porches host impromptu study groups. Short-term lease options align with academic schedules, while the neighborhood's strong landlord competition keeps rents reasonable compared to purpose-built student housing complexes. Local coffee shops offer extended hours during finals, and the proximity to Cameron Park creates quick recreation breaks between study sessions. Though parking can be competitive during class hours, many rental houses include off-street spots—a significant advantage over campus parking permits.

Alta Vista
What it’s like to live in Alta Vista
Historic elegance defines Alta Vista, where Waco's distinguished neighborhood showcases architectural diversity from Victorian to Craftsman just minutes from downtown. The district sits adjacent to Cameron Park with its cliff views overlooking the Brazos River, while nearby Baylor University provides both educational and cultural opportunities. Though rental rates exceed Waco averages, the combination of architectural distinction, established landscaping, and central positioning creates compelling value compared to newer construction lacking similar character.

West Waco
What it’s like to live in West Waco
Baylor University's influence shapes West Waco's housing landscape, where rental options range from divided historic homes to newer apartment communities specifically designed for academic lifestyles. The neighborhood offers significantly better value than campus-adjacent options while maintaining convenient access to both university resources and downtown amenities. Unlike undergraduate-dominated areas nearer campus, West Waco maintains balanced resident demographics suitable for graduate students, faculty and professionals requiring consistent quiet for research and writing pursuits.
