North Lake Waco Homes for Rent

North Lake Waco is a suburban neighborhood known for its historical significance and natural attractions. The area gained national attention in 1978 with the discovery of Columbian mammoth fossils, now part of the Waco Mammoth National Monument. This lakeside region is home to Waco Regional Airport and Hawaiian Falls Waco, a family-friendly waterpark. Housing options range from 1970s ranch-style homes to contemporary single- and two-story builds by regional developers like Stylecraft and D.R. Horton. Many homes feature brick and stone construction, attached garages, and intricate entryways. Some properties offer views of the Lake Waco Golf Club fairway. Local students attend highly rated schools in the Bosqueville Independent School District, including Bosqueville Elementary, Middle, and Secondary Schools. The neighborhood is 5 miles from downtown, accessible via M.L.K. Jr. Boulevard, but is car-dependent due to limited public transit. Dining options include Uncle Worm’s Texas Cuisine, Jon Lillies Steakhouse, and Griff’s, known for comfort food and daily specials. Lakeside Tavern offers a local bar experience with pool tables and occasional live music. Recreational activities abound with the Lake Waco Golf Club, Airport Beach Park, and Waco Skeet & Trap. HOT Dog Park provides a space for dog owners and their pets. The neighborhood is safer than the national average, but it is prone to flooding during heavy rainfall and has a higher tornado risk. Despite these challenges, North Lake Waco offers a blend of historical intrigue, modern living, and community-focused amenities.
