One of Waco’s most popular suburbs
Woodway was home to just 250 residents until the 1950s, when a devastating tornado ripped through Waco, about 5 miles away. As demand grew for new construction and public improvements in the area, Woodway’s population grew, too. Now home to 9,000 people, the central Texas city is one of Waco’s most desirable suburbs, thanks to its top-notch schools and access to Lake Waco. “The main attraction there is the school district,” says Melissa Harrell, Realtor and owner of Onward Real Estate Team at Keller Williams Advantage. “It’s one of the top-ranked school districts in the state. They offer a ton of programs that appeal to varied interests, and they have a very strong STEM program.”
Woodway residents have many options when it comes to choosing their home.
GreatSchools ranks Castleman Creek Elementary School above average for test scores.

Median home price higher than nearby Waco
Home prices in Woodway are higher than in Waco proper, likely owing to the allure of Midway ISD. The median home price is around $400,000, which is in line with the national median but significantly higher than Waco’s median price of $252,000. Prices start around $250,000 to $400,000 for single-family homes, but new construction and larger established builds might cost $450,000 to $600,000. Luxury homes near Lake Waco can sell for $1 million and up. Buyers in these areas should know that homes near the lake are at risk of flooding, which can increase insurance premiums. Woodway’s tornado risk is also significant, even by the Texas standard, which is higher than the national average.

The jewel of Woodway
Woodway’s location on the banks of Lake Waco invites fishing, picnicking and scenic hikes. “That part of Waco is hilly and wooded, with a lot of mature trees,” Harrell says. Boaters can launch their watercraft from the ramp at Lakeside Park, formerly Woodway Park. A disc golf course offers a variety of shots, with some holes right next to the water. Bear Ridge Golf Club, a semi-private 18-hole course, can be found just west of the city off U.S. Route 84.
Carleen Bright Arboretum — “the jewel of Woodway” — blooms with lush botanical gardens, a meditation grove and a monarch butterfly habitat. Visitors might catch a scarlet glimpse of the city’s official bird, the cardinal, in the 16-acre space. The arboretum hosts events throughout the year, including a farmers market on the third Sunday of every month.
Lakeside Park is a short drive from Woodway residents.

A short drive to downtown Waco
Education and health care are major employers in town. Ascension Providence Hospital and Meadowlake Medical Center are about a mile away, just off West Highway 6. Downtown Waco is a 5-mile drive away via Route 84, which runs through the heart of town. Buses on the Waco Transit System stop along West Highway 6 and at nearby Richland Mall, but it’s faster to make the trip downtown by car. Waco Regional Airport, 10 miles away, makes daily flights to Dallas-Fort Worth. Since Woodway is roughly 100 miles south of Dallas, travelers might also opt to make the drive themselves. Austin, the state capital, is also about 100 miles away.

Woodway’s crime rates and other concerns
While the crime rate in Waco is higher than state and national numbers, the crime rate in Woodway is comparatively lower, especially when it comes to instances of violent crime. Additionally, the City of Waco Landfill occupies a sizable chunk of land in Woodway. Though officials expect the landfill to close by the end of 2025, it currently receives up to 1,000 tons of solid waste per day.
