Life around town

Everyday errands and larger shopping, dining, and medical care are a short drive up or down I-35 in Waco and Temple, while the countryside, parks and lakes nearby give you plenty to do outdoors. It’s the kind of place where you can enjoy a slower pace without giving up big-city amenities.
