Neighborhood
In its early days in the 1920s, Castle Heights/Austin Ave was just a straight road leading to a grassy hill at the end of the streetcar line, with a clear view of the ALICO building downtown. The city of Waco has since grown miles beyond the hill, and oaks and magnolia trees have grown up to shade the neighborhood. Through the decades, the neighborhood has remained a prime address for the Waco establishment. It remains one of the most sought-out neighborhoods in the city. Its well-preserved homes serve as physical evidence of twentieth-century architectural and urban design in Waco.
