About Golinda

Golinda is a quiet, small community along Highway 77, sitting about fifteen minutes south of Waco right on the border of McLennan and Falls counties. Home to around 600 residents, it originated in the nineteenth century as a stagecoach stop and has held onto its rural character ever since. For people looking to move out of the city, it offers open Texas countryside and room to spread out while keeping trips into Waco quick and easy.

Life around here revolves around local churches, open acreage, and a relaxed pace. Because the town straddles the county line, local students attend either Robinson or Chilton schools depending on which side of the boundary their home sits on. With simple highway access, it is a convenient choice for anyone wanting a peaceful country setting with nearby access to jobs, dining, and healthcare.
