What I love about living in Waco

I've been living in Waco, TX for 12 years now and honestly, there's a lot to love. The food scene is amazing. The community here is diverse and welcoming. If you're thinking about moving here, feel free to ask me anything.

Downtown is overrated and overpriced. The suburbs offer way better value.

Can confirm the safety issue. But it really depends on the neighborhood. Pine Grove and Southside are perfectly safe.
