West Temple
A growing Texan community
The median single-family home price in West Temple is just under $300,000. The homes are a mix of older, ranch-style brick houses and newer builds with similar looks. “A couple of years ago, when the market went crazy, contractors came in, and subdivisions just sprouted up,” Lockett says. Houses sit on quiet, winding roads that often lead to cul-de-sacs. Homes feature private driveways and multi-car garages. While there are very few sidewalks in the area, pet owners will take solace in knowing they will have a yard.
Strong Belton Independent schools
Kids enter the Belton Independent School District at High Point Elementary, which holds an A-minus rating on Niche. High Point was rated the ninth-best elementary school in Bell County and has a 16-to-1 student-teacher ratio, which is better than the national average. Lake Belton Middle and Lake Belton High were ranked the No. 2 and No. 1 schools in the district, respectively, and both earned A-minus grades from Niche. Lake Belton High was founded in 2020 but is already home to 2,200 students and a robust arts program.
Sammons Golf Course and Spare Time
Locals head to Heritage Park for some outdoor fun. The 155-acre park has athletic fields for youth games, a community garden and playground equipment. Sammons Golf Course is an award-winning 18-hole course open year-round if weather permits. The course offers a driving range and a bar and grill for a round of drinks after a round on the course. There is no shortage of activities at Spare Time Texas. This indoor/outdoor recreation center has a two-story laser tag arena and a bowling alley inside, while batting cages and go-karts are available outdoors. “Lake Belton is just 10 minutes away,” Lockett says. “It’s a great place for families to go to swim or camp during the summer.”
All along Adams Avenue
When looking for a classic burger and a milkshake, residents look to the building with a large mural of a cow and find themselves at Chew-Chew’s Burgers & Shakes. Rockin’ Ramen is a hip and casual hot spot with traditional ramen and poke bowls, while El Puerto de Jalisco serves up Mexican favorites in a fun atmosphere. For fun on the weekends, Bold Republic Brewing has craft beers and events on tap. With weekly trivia nights and a summer concert series, Bold Republic is a popular spot for adults looking for fun. With outdoor seating complete with a playground, parents can bring their children along. There are plenty of familiar chains on Adams Avenue. Grocery shoppers won’t have a hard time finding options, as Natural Grocers and Target have stores off Interstate 35. H-E-B! and Walmart are located right off Adams Avenue. Adams Ave is also home to various boutique stores, while the Temple Mall is a shopper’s delight. The mall is home to dozens of nationally recognized retailers and has a movie theater to catch the newest releases.Ride the HOP or drive the highways
The HOP is a public transportation bus and van service in the area that is available at certain hours of the day. Getting around via car is easy due to the proximity to many large highways. West Temple is within just a few miles of Interstates 14 and 35 and Highways 317 and 363.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
