Mart pairs small-town ease with quick access to big-city amenities. Set where McLennan County meets Limestone County, it offers tree-lined neighborhoods, room to spread out, and a proud rail-town heritage, all about a 20-minute drive from Waco. Commuters appreciate the straight shot into the city, while locals enjoy quieter streets, Friday night lights, and a calendar full of community traditions.
Schools are a centerpiece here. Mart ISD supports academics, extracurriculars, and a spirited Panthers culture that brings the town together. Weekends are easy to fill: paddle the Navasota River, hike lakeside trails, or spot wildlife at nearby Fort Parker State Park. For bigger outings, families make quick trips to Cameron Park Zoo and dig into Ice Age history at Waco Mammoth National Monument. College-town energy is close at hand, too—tour Baylor University, catch a game at McLane Stadium, or spend an afternoon browsing and people-watching at Magnolia Market at the Silos.
Housing in Mart spans historic cottages, tidy ranch homes, and acreage tracts, offering value and breathing room without losing proximity to jobs, healthcare, and higher education. If you’re planning a move, upgrading, or getting ready to sell, Agent Pronto can connect you with a top local real estate professional who knows Mart’s neighborhoods, pricing trends, and the pace of this market.
