A quiet Lone Star suburb with all the necessities

Situated between Austin and Waco, West Temple is an emerging town in the heart of Texas. “There is tremendous growth in this area, and it’s due in large part to Austin and Waco outgrowing themselves,” says Sue Lockett, who is with RE/MAX Temple/Belton and has 21 years of experience in the area. “There is so much industry in those areas and not enough housing, so people are spilling over to us.” The proximity to highways makes it easy for those who want to live in a quieter area and still travel into the big city for work. West Temple features a variety of unique restaurant and retail options combined with a lively recreation scene, making it a suburb with the necessities covered.

A growing Texan community

The median single-family home price in West Temple is just under $300,000. The homes are a mix of older, ranch-style brick houses and newer builds with similar looks. “A couple of years ago, when the market went crazy, contractors came in, and subdivisions just sprouted up,” Lockett says. Houses sit on quiet, winding roads that often lead to cul-de-sacs. Homes feature private driveways and multi-car garages. While there are very few sidewalks in the area, pet owners will take solace in knowing they will have a yard.

Strong Belton Independent schools

Kids enter the Belton Independent School District at High Point Elementary, which holds an A-minus rating on Niche. High Point was rated the ninth-best elementary school in Bell County and has a 16-to-1 student-teacher ratio, which is better than the national average. Lake Belton Middle and Lake Belton High were ranked the No. 2 and No. 1 schools in the district, respectively, and both earned A-minus grades from Niche. Lake Belton High was founded in 2020 but is already home to 2,200 students and a robust arts program.

Sammons Golf Course and Spare Time

Locals head to Heritage Park for some outdoor fun. The 155-acre park has athletic fields for youth games, a community garden and playground equipment. Sammons Golf Course is an award-winning 18-hole course open year-round if weather permits. The course offers a driving range and a bar and grill for a round of drinks after a round on the course. There is no shortage of activities at Spare Time Texas. This indoor/outdoor recreation center has a two-story laser tag arena and a bowling alley inside, while batting cages and go-karts are available outdoors. “Lake Belton is just 10 minutes away,” Lockett says. “It’s a great place for families to go to swim or camp during the summer.”

Ride the HOP or drive the highways

The HOP is a public transportation bus and van service in the area that is available at certain hours of the day. Getting around via car is easy due to the proximity to many large highways. West Temple is within just a few miles of Interstates 14 and 35 and Highways 317 and 363.
