Walnut Springs, TX Real Estate: Hill Country Charm in Bosque County
Looking for a peaceful small town nestled in Texas hill country charm? Walnut Springs is a wonderful choice. This little city sits in northern Bosque County, about 52 miles northwest of Waco.

Walnut Springs was also home to Central College, established in 1885, giving the small town an early foothold in education as well as industry.
Today, Walnut Springs holds onto its historic charm with a beautifully preserved downtown, featuring local shops, cafes, and buildings built from local stone and brick.
