Southern charm at affordable prices
The tree-lined, quiet neighborhood features single-family cozy bungalows, ranch-style homes and contemporary houses. Most homes were built in the 1950s, ranging from $140,000 to $190,000 – perfect for a starter home or those wanting to be near downtown without the higher price. The median price for a single-family home in Downtown Temple is $300,000. Newly constructed homes can be found in the Bruner subdivision, which offers more modern designs. Lots are adorned with mature trees, providing plenty of shade and tranquility. Yards are immaculately maintained with lush, spacious lawns and paved walkways.

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.
