Rating 4.11 out of 5 18 reviews
I live in Waco and this area is growing with family entertainment, restaurants and companies. This area have Baylor University and two community colleges with tons of degree options. Its family friendly with activities in the down town area, a water park and top golf. New restaurants that will give you a variety of fine dinning such as Asian, Mexican, Italian, Indian and American. New companies is also making the area more inviting for employment opportunities. A variety of retailers thats are located in an outside shopping mall or inside mall. Waco is a great place to raise a family, retire and have a career. This area is not congested with traffic and is a easy commute to the Dallas or Austin area.
I like McLennan county in some instances, but the safety component can be improved. I understand everything is priced high now, but some things are over expensive.
My experience living in McLennan County has been a pleasant one. The weather is very nice and balanced, and the people here are nice. When driving it’s not often you’ll find rude drivers on the road unlike others big cities. The public schools are very nice here, I am currently enrolled in one and the teacher and facilities are great. My experience in McLennan County has been a good one, for however much longer i’m Here I will definlity enjoy it
