Description
516 Harlem Avenue in Waco is a refreshed 2-bedroom, 1-bath bungalow that blends simple comfort with creative energy—just 774 sq ft, yet it lives bright and inviting thanks to fresh interior paint and updated vinyl plank flooring. The front porch is wrapped with a bamboo privacy screen, creating a cozy spot for morning coffee or an evening wind-down.
Inside, you’ll find two spacious bedrooms and a warm, welcoming feel throughout—helped along by fantastic new colors that make the space feel both calm and enchanting. Out back, a huge yard opens up under an enormous pecan tree, offering shade, space to garden, room to create, and plenty of options for outdoor living.
Location adds even more value: you’re minutes from the Downtown Farmers Market (a local Saturday favorite) and conveniently close to Baylor University. Even better, you’re perched just a couple blocks from the Brazos River and the 6.5-mile Waco Riverwalk, a scenic trail system that follows both banks with beautiful views and easy access to downtown attractions.
This is an adorable, affordable home with personality, updates you’ll appreciate, and outdoor space that’s hard to find at this size—ready for its next chapter at 516 Harlem Avenue.

3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMost of the staff seems like they are there to collect a check and checked out. You can tell which staff members are invested. Short staffed. UnorganizedWhat happened to the passion and psychology of teaching?Fights breaking out right in front of me and police just watching. No attempt to stop or step in.Drop off and pick up are a disaster with traffic, busses and kids crossing without paying attention.The staff literally looks burned out and over it.PARENTS NEED TO DO BETTER SO OUR EDUCATORS CAN CARE AND HELP YOUR CHILD WITH THE SKILLS THEY NEED . We are in a college town .. do better for your child.Parent Review2y ago - Indian Spring Middle School

1/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe campus is a Texas Title I Priority Schools Grant recipient which means it offers many academic and non-academic opportunities during 2014-2015, 2015-2016, and 2016-2017 school years. The campus is a "turn around" design campus which means a new and highly energized staff works to help every student find success. We consider ourselves to be a good school working to be a "great school." Prospective parents and community partners are encouraged to call and schedule a site visit with student ambassadors.
