Neighborhoods in West Temple feature tidy homes on wide, well-kept streets.
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.
West Temple's charming homes boast timeless brick and stone facades.
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.

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.”
