Rural lifestyle right outside Waco
Robinson provides a rural lifestyle for commuters right outside the south side of Waco. One of Robinson’s main draws is its newly built homes and plots of land, generally larger than properties in the neighboring city. While Robinson gives its nearly 13,000 locals more room to spread out, it is less than 5 miles from Waco’s parks, shopping and museums. The larger city is also home to many of the area’s biggest employers, including Baylor University and healthcare facilities like Ascension Providence Hospital. The Waco metro is halfway between Austin and Dallas-Fort Worth, keeping Robinson close to three of the state’s biggest cities.
Baylor University in Waco is a short drive away for Robinson residents.

Robinson offers new homes and acreage properties
The median sales price in Robinson is $317,500, compared to the Waco median of $263,000. Since Robinson is more rural than the neighboring city, many homes come with some extra acreage. “One advantage Robinson has over other areas is more ‘bang for the buck’ options available,” says Valerie Waitley, a Realtor with CJ Realtors who has lived in the area for 17 years. “And Robinson has more rural offerings available if people are looking for more land.” The most popular properties in Robinson include brand-new custom homes, restored midcentury residences and luxury ranches with up to 30 acres of land.
Some Robinson locals opt for newly built homes.
Robinson is known for its big yards and spacious properties.

School spirit for the Robinson Rockets
The Robinson Independent School District has a B-plus grade on Niche and is in the top 15 school districts in the Waco Area. Robinson Primary School, Robinson Intermediate School and Robinson Junior High School all have A-minus grades on Niche. Football, basketball and softball games at the B-rated Robinson High School consistently draw big crowds. “Like most towns around here, they’re fanatics for their high school sports team, the Rockets,” says Joe Reed, a Realtor with Weichert Realtors who has lived in the Waco area since 1998. “You talk to Robinson people, and they’re going to brag about schools.” Waco is home to three colleges and universities, including Baylor University, which is nationally recognized for its research programs.

Te’jun serves up Texas-style Cajun
Most of the city’s restaurants and shops are along U.S. Highway 77, known locally as Robinson Drive. One of Robinson Drive’s most-frequented restaurants is Te’jun, which specializes in “Texas-inspired” Cajun seafood, from fried shrimp and crab to crawfish and alligator. “It’s not very often I find someone who does it like Te’jun,” Reed says. Retail in Robinson mainly consists of convenience stores, gas stations and grocery stores. The nearest large shopping centers are in Waco, including the Richland Mall and Town West Center.
