Student Housing in Waco, TX

About Student Housing in Waco

Waco, TX sits on the Brazos River halfway between Dallas and Austin, and Baylor University gives the city a green-and-gold heartbeat that shapes whole neighborhoods. Baylor's campus hugs the river, and students spill into the surrounding streets, from the residential blocks along South 11th and Bagby south of campus to the walkable Speight Avenue corridor just north. Further out, the Elm Avenue area and the revived district near the river underpass pull students wanting variety. For the outdoors, the city stretches a seven-mile riverwalk along the Brazos, and Cameron Park packs 416 acres of trails and limestone bluffs right in town. Waco has shed its sleepy reputation, with a buzzing downtown, a strong civic events calendar, and a real sense of momentum.
