Multi-Family Homes & Duplexes for Sale in West, TX

Texas residents often refer to West as “West comma Texas” to avoid confusing the city with the greater West Texas region. West is actually in the central part of the state, about 20 miles north of Waco. “Waco keeps expanding, and a lot of Wacoans who don’t want to live in the outlying neighborhoods will just head up to West,” says Alan Cooper, broker with Duck Brothers Real Estate, who has nearly two decades of local experience. The city is home to 3,000 residents — about three-quarters of whom share Czech heritage — and appeals to buyers seeking a quiet lifestyle and well-regarded schools. “If you’re looking for country living, it’s definitely that, but it’s an acquired taste,” Cooper says. “If you’re coming from a big city, it’s gonna take a while to adjust, because downtown’s just two blocks and everything closes early.” Billowing trees border the broad residential streets in West’s central areas. Some roads include rustic paved sidewalks, which are overgrown and uneven in places. Lots typically measure under a quarter-acre, and some have garages or carports. Some homes in this section date to the 1920s, while many houses on the outskirts were built a century later.
