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.

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.
