A heartbeat away from downtown Waco
A checkerboard of streets stippled with shade from billowing trees welcomes residents to Brookview, a neighborhood 2 miles from the thrumming heart of downtown Waco. When the Texas city expanded southwest in the mid-20th century, houses began cropping up to keep pace with demand, creating convenient havens like Brookview. “It’s centrally located, close to restaurants and shopping. All of Waco is very commutable, but that neighborhood is very accessible,” says Cristi McGowan, broker and owner at Nexthome Our Town. “There’s a little creek that runs through there, mature trees, and the older homes have a lot of charm.” Plenty of those homes are available at wallet-friendly prices, making the neighborhood a win-win prospect.
The tree-lined streets of Brookview offer residents a quiet oasis near the city.
Downtown Waco is a draw for tourists and Brookview residents alike.

Bungalows clustered beneath rows of trees
Brookview is primarily residential, with single-story two- and three-bedroom bungalows filling in the grid of tree-lined streets. Though lot sizes typically measure under a quarter acre, many properties include fencing, and tree growth lends shade and privacy to pocket-sized lawns. Most housing stock dates to the 1940s and ’50s, with some homes needing major updating. An older home that needs renovations costs between $110,000 and $150,000, while larger or remodeled builds sell for $200,000 to $400,000. Driveways are standard, but most properties are too small to include garages, and many people park on the street. This area also sees a lot of fast-moving traffic, so pedestrians should stick to the paved sidewalks.
Brookview offers residents quiet streets and plenty of greenery.
Brookview offers residents larger remodeled homes.

Breakfast on Bosque Boulevard
Mornings begin with ethically sourced coffee and looseleaf teas — served hot or iced — at For Keeps Coffee & Bakery on Bosque Boulevard. An assortment of sweet and savory bakery items beckons from the counter in the bright, airy space. Adriana & Janette’s is down the road for takeout tacos and burritos, and Jason’s Deli at Brazos Place Shopping Center serves giant muffuletta and Reuben sandwiches. Several sit-down options are available for Mexican specialties like tamales and tostadas, but El Conquistador is a local favorite. Groceries are available at H-E-B on Wooded Acres Drive, just off Bosque Boulevard.

Riding the wave at Crestview Elementary

A stop at SJ Guthrie Park
Crestview Park wraps the elementary school that shares its name in a verdant embrace. A paved walking trail meanders through the grass beneath shady trees and alongside benches and picnic tables. A playground and volleyball court give kids a place to release pent-up energy after school, and grills are available for weekend gatherings. SJ Guthrie Park’s central location around a small creek makes it a convenient and picturesque stop, but it’s a sliver of a park offering only a play structure, a short walking path and a few benches.
SJ Guthrie Park offers residents a place to picnic and play.

Learning opportunities at Lee Lockwood Library
Lee Lockwood Library & Museum, named for a Waco businessman and 20th-century Freemason, is home to the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry in Texas. The facility houses a collection of Masonic books and artifacts and serves as a venue for weddings and other celebrations. Special events pop up on the calendar throughout the year, and in summer, the space plays host to the Waco Children’s Theatre Camp.

The way to downtown Waco
Brookview residents cruise into town via West Waco Drive, the major thoroughfare that forms the neighborhood’s eastern border. It’s a 2-mile trip downtown from the heart of Brookview, meaning active residents could get around by bike or on foot. That said, the issue of speeding traffic is worth considering, especially on busy two-lane highways like West Waco. Fortunately, Waco Transit System buses stop in several places throughout the neighborhood. Access to the wider world awaits at Waco Regional Airport, 6 miles away.
West Waco Drive connects Brookview to Downtown Waco.
Bus stops are located along Sanger and Morrow Avenues in Brookview.
