Community surrounding a lake and golf course

On the outskirts of Waco, past the western suburb of Woodway, the Villages at Twin Rivers can feel like their own miniature town. Technically a collection of five subdivisions, the master-planned community flows with a serene vibe and a host of amenities. “It’s a place where you see people,” says Robert Barnes, broker and owner at Greater Waco Realty and a Twin Rivers resident. "You see kids outside playing, people walking their dog. It’s a great place to live.” The large neighborhood sits within the Midway School District, which boasts some of the highest rated schools in Greater Waco. “This is the perfect neighborhood for people who are new to the area,” says Katie Snapp, Realtor with Camille Johnson, Realtors. “It’s very easy to meet neighbors.”

Residents enjoy easy access to scenic walking trails and parks, perfect for outdoor activities.

From King’s Row to Windstone Court

The Villages at Twin Rivers comprises five subdivisions, consisting primarily of homes built between 2003 and 2020. “Each village offers something different — there’s a village for everyone,” Snapp says. King’s Row, the elder statesman of the group, was established in 2003 with a lineup of modestly sized single-family homes. Patio homes with small backyards gather in Camden Court, appealing to empty nesters and retirees who don’t want the hassle of a larger property. Houses in Ashford Court offer more square footage and yard space, and many Castle Park properties feature views of the Bear Ridge Golf Course. Contemporary stone-and-brick homes with gabled roofs bring a luxurious feel to Windstone Court. The residential streets are arranged in loops and curlicues to encourage a neighborly vibe, with manicured lawns, rows of young trees and walls of sand-colored stone along the streetscape. Most homes have three to five bedrooms and an average of 2,000 to 5,000 square feet of living space. Some echo the Mission style, with low-pitched roofs and arched entryways. Prices start at $350,000 to $400,000 for a single-story brick Craftsman in King’s Row. A two-story contemporary home with an attached garage and golf course views might sell for $750,000 to $850,000.

With its appealing homes, Villages at Twin Rivers attracts families and retirees.

An easy walk to Bear Ridge Golf Club

A recent change in ownership breathed new life into Bear Ridge Golf Club, formerly known as Twin Rivers. The 18-hole course is semi-private: While it’s open to the public, members are given priority. Twin Rivers Community Association members can take advantage of the pool, tennis and pickleball courts, clubhouse and fitness center. “It’s a great opportunity for someone who wants to have access to a pool but doesn’t necessarily have the budget to put one in their backyard,” Snapp says. Young residents enjoy the playground, and walking paths encircle the 8-acre lake stocked with fish. The community abuts Hog Creek Wildlife Management Area, a good spot for sand bass fishing.

Residents have access to the clubhouse which has tennis courts, pool and a gym.

On a roll at River Valley Middle School

Highly rated schools draw families to this part of Greater Waco. Most students start at South Bosque Elementary School and River Valley Middle School, both with a Niche grade of A. They’ll funnel into Midway High School, which earns the coveted A-plus grade. The elementary and high schools are a short distance east toward Woodway, but River Valley is right in the neighborhood.

River Valley focuses on a well-rounded education with strong community ties.

Prime steaks at The Butcher’s Cellar

The Butcher’s Cellar, an upscale steakhouse, recently fired up its grill a short distance down Woodway Drive. Filet mignon and tomahawk ribeye are the stars, accompanied by signature sides like potatoes aligot and miso honey butter corn ribs. George’s Restaurant, an established downtown Waco favorite, has a second location in West Waco just minutes away, and Terry Black's Barbecue is worth the trip downtown. The H-E-B on Woodway Drive is the most convenient place for groceries.

H-E-B is the best grocery store for fresh produce.

Peaceful living 10 miles from downtown Waco

Well-maintained sidewalks invite residents to take their dogs for a walk or push strollers through the neighborhood. However, this is a car-dependent community with no public transportation. The nearest major highway, U.S. Route 84, runs parallel to Woodway Drive, pointing to downtown Waco, which is 10 miles away, and Woodway, which is 6. Waco Regional Airport is 15 miles north, offering connecting flights to Texas hubs in Houston and Dallas-Fort Worth.

I-35 runs near the neighborhood offering easy access to the rest of Waco.

Texas’s tornado risk

The tornado risk in Texas is higher than in most of the United States, and the risk in Waco is high even by Lone Star standards. The deadliest twister in Texas’s recorded history tore through Waco in 1953; tornado watches and warnings are standard.
