Dallas Cowboys wide receiver and kickoff returner Jason Tucker is a source of hometown pride for the residents of Robinson, Texas! Tucker attended Robinson High School where he seriously excelled in football as well as track and field. Oddly enough, he was a magnificent long jumper, which might have helped him later as a kickoff returner for the Cowboys.

The city of Robinson is located 6 miles south of Waco on State Hwy 77 and is spread out over 31.6 square miles of land with 10,840 residents. Brothers John and Levi Robinson, established their homesteads in the early 1850s and quickly plotted off 42 different 4 acre sites to encourage growth and to entice more homesteaders to move into the area. This idea worked quite well, and over the past century and a half, the city of Robinson has experienced a slow, steady and prosperous growth that is appealingly evident in the current day and age.

Moving to Robinson

When you want to find apartment in Robinson, the best idea is to get some help from a local professional realtor. A local agent will not only know what is currently and coming available soon, but they can also help you narrow down your list of options by understanding your exact needs and requirements in a home.

Robinson's Neighborhoods

The city of Robinson has 3 neighborhoods to choose from. Knowing a little about each can go a long way to helping a new resident decide which will suit their needs the best. Below are the highlights and benefits which will help narrow the information gap many non-locals tend to encounter.

Rosenthal: Apartment rentals in the Rosenthal neighborhood are a little more expensive than the City Center, but this is a very popular area for good reason! Both apartment homes and stand alone home are generally large and spacious, anywhere from two- to five-bedrooms on average and always immaculate! Located between I-35 and Hwy 77, this area is perfect for those commuting to and from Waco for work. North Flat Creek winds through the neighborhood and is a fantastic place to fish or just take a stroll along its banks when you feel like getting out for a bit of exercise. There are also two huge parks in the area, Waco Memorial Park and Chapel Hill Memorial Park, both are fantastically shady spots for enjoying a lazy Sunday afternoon!

City Center: If you are looking for an apartment complex that is located within shouting distance of Hwy 6 and Hwy 77, this is the area of town for you! Both highways cross at the center of this neighborhood, which allows those who commute in and out of the city painless access to the roads that will carry them to and from work. As a starting point, the Fountainview Apartments on Dayton Dr. offer bright and cheerful one- and two-bedroom apartments just moments from I-35 and Hwy 6. These pet friendly accommodations are beautifully landscaped and upgraded with state of the art appliances and a sparkling pool to help you beat the heat of summer.

Downs: This is the largest neighborhood in Robinson and it is for the most part, quite rural! Located on both the south and the eastern side of the city, Downs is the ideal neighborhood for those who enjoy their peace and quiet but also like to be close to the action of downtown. If you love camping and adventure, you will love the fact that Riverview Campground is tucked into the northern edge of the neighborhood. Not to be left out, Willow Lake and Eastland Lake are also two stunning places to relax and enjoy a cool swim or some serious fishing.

Living in Robinson

When the locals aren't swimming, fishing or kayaking in Willow or Eastland Lake, they can be seen browsing the shops in the historic downtown district or enjoying time in their gardens keeping weeds and pests at bay. For the best Cajun and Creole food in town, try The Boudin Shack on S. Robinson Dr. As the name suggests, the Boudin is always amazing! However, we would be remiss if we didn't urge you to sample the Crawfish Ì©touffÌ©e and the Shrimp Bisque... your taste buds will never be the same again! If you enjoy window shopping for antiques and collectibles, ABC Antiques & Coins on Robinson Dr. will tickle your fancy every time you browse their collection. For the gardeners that are new to town, you will be in greenhouse heaven at Robinson Greenhouses, also located on Robinson Dr. The staff are always friendly and incredibly helpful if you aren't familiar with what will grow and thrive in the area. So what are you waiting for? It's time to settle in to your new community and put down your roots!
