Innovative community with access to hospitals and schooling

A hub for health and life sciences, the Temple Medical and Educational District, or TMED, boasts top medical education and research alongside a community college in one of Central Texas’ most innovative planned developments. “I like that everything is close and convenient,” says Bailey Pauly, a leasing agent assistant with University Courtyard student housing. “It’s a pretty quiet area, but South 1st Street will get a decent amount of traffic.” In addition to post-secondary education at the community college, TMED is also home to Travis Science Academy, a middle school; a recreation center and a youth club. TMED has three medical buildings within its boundaries: a V.A. Hospital, the Baylor Scott & White Medical Center – Temple and the Texas A&M Health Science Center Medical Research Building.

Local restaurants and nearby Temple Mall

South of U.S. Route 190 is a variety of shopping. In Market Place Shopping Center is H-E-B, Dollar Tree and bealls, a clothing store. “A place that’s kind of popping is Cotton Patch Café,” says Pauly. “It’s in the mall; a lot of people go there.” Temple Mall has almost 60 different businesses, including anchor store Dillard’s. “Student-wise, there’s a lot of fast-food places nearby,” Pauly says. “You could walk there, but a lot of people would rather drive.” There are several restaurants scattered throughout TMED, including Bill’s Grill and Los Mini Tacos. University housing is “right across from a gas station, so it gets a lot of late-night visitors,” Pauly says.

Access to Interstate 35 in Temple

Two miles from downtown Temple, Interstate 35 is to the west of the neighborhood. Temple residents have access to The Hop, a public transportation system that works similarly to Uber. U.S. Route 190 acts as the southern border and is an east-west highway that covers parts of Texas and Louisiana.

Bungalows and ranch-style homes with some university housing

The neighborhood is primarily composed of cozy bungalows and ranch-style houses. Most homes were built in the 1950s and range in price from $139,000 to $245,000, depending on the size of the home and the number of bedrooms. TMED is laid out in a grid pattern, with parallel streets through the residential portions. Homes usually have a driveway; attached and detached garages scattered throughout. Some streets have connecting sidewalks, but they don’t cover the entire neighborhood. Fenced-in backyards, with either chain-link or wood, are common. There are large, mature trees with branches that cover portions of the homes and the yards. University Courtyard Apartments also sit within TMED.

Summit Recreation Center also hosts summer camps for ages 5 to 12, usually featuring a sport of the week, such as volleyball or basketball. “Pretty often in the Temple Mall, there’s a small carnival or circus,” says Pauly. “They’ll leave and go to Killeen and other small cities before coming back.” In December, Temple hosts the Annual City of Temple Christmas Parade. Now in its 78th year, the parade has a theme for each year that floats are built around.
