Waco Oasis close to Baylor and Magnolia Market

We will definitely be visiting this home again! It’s proximity to Baylor University and the silos, which were two points of interest for us, made it an ideal location for our family. The neighborhood is safe and quaint, and the home is clean, updated, very lovely.

Fun trip!

This was a well maintained, clean property. We enjoyed our stay there. However, we were not familiar with Waco and did not realize we could not walk to the Silos even though they were very close. It was a trip to remember for us!
