Farwell Heights, located between Waco Drive and Franklin Avenue, is a residential and historic Waco neighborhood with early-20th-century bungalows and a tree-lined street grid. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Waco Drive and N. 25th Street corridor, where small storefronts, service counters, and local hangouts set a steady, lived-in pace. Housing leans toward compact lots, deep porches, and period details that suit walking loops and front-yard hellos. Cameron Park’s trails and river overlooks shape the outdoor rhythm nearby. Downtown’s museums and performance venues add a cultural pull without changing the quiet blocks. Commutes and errands tend to follow the Waco Drive spine toward campus and the core.
