Quaint neighborhood near the heart of Town
Temple’s centrally located and appropriately named Central District is one of the more convenient neighborhoods in town, offering residents easy access to the most important parts of town. The low-key neighborhood is surrounded by restaurants and retail, has its own on-ramp to Interstate 35, and is a short drive to both the local train station and the local airport.
“It’s great being close to Downtown,” says local Realtor Zachary Backor of Keeping it Realty. “There are always new restaurants coming in, and you’ve got the H-E-B right there. And if you need to get around, the train station, the interstate, the airport, they’re all easy to get to.
Many homes in the Central District have large yards with lush foliage.
Midcentury ranches and whatnot
Most homes in the Central District were built in the mid to late 20th century. Ranch-style homes and split-levels are common, and there are a few early-20th-century cottages in the neighborhood as well. More recently, plots have been redeveloped into modern Craftsman-style homes. The median sale price for a home in the neighborhood is $105,000, while the average floorplan offers about 1,430 square feet of interior space. Modern homes in the neighborhood tend to sell for a bit more than that, typically in the $175,000 to $275,000 range. Throughout the neighborhood’s residential blocks, streets are lined with tall shade trees and well-maintained yards.
Temple High School welcomes you with a massive wildcat statue, the symbol of the school.
Temple High’s excellent theater program
The public schools in the Central District are administered by the Temple Independent School District. Nearby Kennedy-Powell Elementary has a B-plus grade on Niche, while Lamar Middle School has a B-minus on the site. Temple High splits the difference with a B rating and is known for its award-winning theater department.
Whistle Stop Park and the train museum
There are a number of city parks in and around the Central District. Spots like Wilson Park and Wilson Recreation Center offer ample opportunities for residents to get a bit of exercise. The city’s Whistle Stop Park is a popular stop for families with children, offering a railroad-themed playground as well as the Temple Railroad Museum, which celebrates the town’s historical ties to the railroad.
Whistle Stop Playground is located in downtown Temple, TX.

Nearby H-E-B Supermarket
Locals looking to pick up groceries don’t even have to leave the neighborhood—they can head to the H-E-B supermarket at the center of the Central District. For other amenities, residents need only drive a couple of miles down I-35, which runs along the neighborhood, to Temple Mall, where they’ll find an array of department stores and smaller shops.
The neighborhood is home to a number of restaurants and more can be found in nearby Downtown Temple. 1st Street Roasters is a highly rated breakfast and coffee spot in the neighborhood, while those looking for something a little more filling can check out the authentic Texas grilling at Clem Mikeska’s Bar-B-Q Steakhouse or Jody’s Restaurant’s famous burgers
Nearby Interstate and Amtrak Station
Getting around central Texas is a fairly easy process for residents of the Central District. The I-35 connects the neighborhood to Waco, 36 miles to the north, and Austin, 65 miles to the south. The neighborhood is also bordered by the Temple Train station, where locals can catch a direct Amtrak to San Antonio, Austin and Dallas.
GreatSchools:
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
