Anyone know what's being built on the north side of Loop 340 / Hwy 6 between IH35 and Highway 77 (Robinson Road)? Looks to be near Old Robinson Road. They sure are moving a lot of dirt over there.

I have wondered the same. Looking forward to the replies.

The answer -- four-plex multi-family residential.

The land prep has been pretty extensive (and expensive, no doubt).

Thanks for the info. Yep, they have been moving dirt around for a few months. Was really hoping for something more interesting that another apartment complex.

I wonder if it will be Robinson or Waco ISD? I wouldn't think families would pay exorbitant rent and have their kids in WISD.

Rent in Robinson ISD isn't any better.

That's Waco ISD as everything on that side of 6 is Waco.

Going North on 77 across Hwy 6, the first 3 streets on the left are part of Robinson ISD (Darden, Meadowbrook, and Brewster), that's why they have blue street signs.

yep. Everything south of "new road" and east of old Robinson is Robinson.

Y'all sure about that? I'm a Robinson grad and always thought that was Robinson city but not school and never knew anyone that lived on those streets that went to Robinson. The TEA site thinks it's Waco ISD too.

I am surprised they are apartments. I have seen the dirt being moved and thought it was prep for more shopping there since the marketplace and hospital sides are full

That is Waco ISD. There are some streets over there that are Robinson city limits.

Just as there are parts of any city throughout TX that may be part of one city and in the neighboring school district.

Parts of Woodway are Waco ISD.

Parts of Waco are Midway ISD.

Etc.

That is Waco ISD, btw.

I agree with this. There are some strange boundaries near the edge of Waco.

I live in the Sunwest development. We are in the city of Waco, but in Midway school district. Even stranger to me, we have a McGregor mailing address.

I live just east of Ritchie Rd. I call it WoodWackitt. Waco address, turn one way and go 3 blocks and it's Woodway, turn the other way and go 3 blocks and it's Hewitt.

It isn't just Waco. It is basically any city and suburb in Texas and the country. City limits don't follow straight lines or make perfect circles. They follow whatever line each city was able to annex or needed to for things like water rights (see Houston and it's northern boundaries).

Same for district lines. They follow what each district was able to get and at times make no sense as it seems districts wanted one specific street but not the one right next to it.

But for some reason people think the school district lines follow city boundaries and both of those fall in line with USPS zip codes/mailing addresses.

Like in Waco 76712 can be Waco or Woodway.

76706 can be Waco or Robinson.

You can put either city on the item and it will make it to the address.

I live on Ritchie Road, I'm guessing the other side of Pantherway from you. City of Waco, MISD, Lorena address. Until fairly recently, Hewitt water.

You can see blue street signs off google Steetview for those streets. Easy way to know what "city" you're in as Robinson does Blue and Waco is Green.

Seems confusing though cause I heard mixed messages from realtors.

We are similar. Mcgregor address, Waco utilities and Midway ISD.

The site is 500 yards away from University High School. I drive down that cruddy excuse for a road every time I go get my kid.
