Woodway, TX Homes: Upscale Living Minutes From Waco
Looking for a peaceful, upscale community close to Waco? Woodway, Texas is a wonderful choice. This charming city sits just southwest of Waco, between U.S. Highway 84 and State Highway 6 in McLennan County. Woodway offers residents a quiet, picturesque setting with quick access to Waco's shopping, dining, and major employers.
Woodway's roots go back to 1865, when Confederate veteran Burl Kendrick settled the land that would eventually become the city. For decades, the area remained a quiet rural community, centered around the historic Whitehall Church and school. In 1955, local residents came together and officially incorporated as the Village of Woodway, choosing the name as a blend of two nearby community names: Woodland West and the Village of Midway. What started as a small town of just 250 people has grown into a beautiful, master-planned community of more than 9,000 residents today.
Woodway is known for its natural beauty, including the lovely Carleen Bright Arboretum, a peaceful spot for walking, photography, and community events. Residents also enjoy being close to Lake Waco, along with easy access to shopping, restaurants, and Baylor University, all just a short drive away. Located roughly halfway between Austin and Dallas, Woodway offers a rare combination of small-town charm and everyday convenience.
For buyers who want a beautiful, well-established community with strong schools, natural beauty, and easy access to Waco, Woodway is truly a special place to call home.
