Homes for Rent in Hill of Childress Creek, Waco

Contrary to its name, there are no hills to speak of in the Hills of Childress Creek. Instead, the designation more accurately describes the community’s elevated style of living. Surrounded by Texas farmland and cattle ranches, the private community consists of luxury homes in China Spring, 15 miles northwest of Waco. Childress Creek flows along the northern edge of the neighborhood, which was once a 2,000-acre ranch. With properties measuring up to 20 acres, residents have plenty of room to roam. “You’re in the country — it’s peaceful, quiet, more stars, less light pollution,” says Joe Reed, Realtor with Weichert Realtors. “But even though it’s out in the country, in 30 to 40 minutes, you can be anywhere you want in Waco.” Families in this exclusive area can also take advantage of the highly rated China Spring Independent School District. Twin sculptures bubbling with rustic fountains flank the main entrance to the Hills of Childress Creek. Winding streets pass by sprawling yards and billowing trees that veil the luxurious homes from view, offering privacy and shade in the Texas heat. Most homes are two-story contemporary or Cape Cod-style builds with dormer windows and entry
