North Side
The North Side of Waco is actually northwest when looking at a map. This area started out as pasture and farmland when Waco was founded in 1849, but it was quickly developed starting in the 1920s. It was unharmed by the 1953 Tornado, but has, like the other two sides, fallen victim to Urban Decay as higher income earners moved out. The North Side is Waco's most diverse side, with a blend of many cultures and incomes. There are fourteen sectors in the North Side. They are:
- Austin Avenue (also called Castle Heights)
- Brook Oaks
- Brookview
- Cedar Ridge
- Dean Highland
- Heart O' Texas (also called Lake Air)
- Landon Branch
- Mountainview
- North Lake Waco
- North Waco
- Parkdale
- Richland Hills
- Sanger Heights
- Viking Hills

Famous quotes containing the words north and/or side:
“If I could put my hand on the north star, would it be as beautiful? The sea is lovely, but when we bathe in it the beauty forsakes all the near water. For the imagination and senses cannot be gratified at the same time.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“To love something as an artist ... means to be shaken not by its ultimate value or lack of value, but by a side of it that suddenly opens up. Where art has value it shows things that few have seen. It’s conquering, not pacifying.”
—Robert Musil (1880–1942)
