Apartments Near Central Texas Marketplace
Central Texas Marketplace is Waco's largest outdoor shopping and entertainment center — Target, Best Buy, restaurants, and a movie theater all in one.
Why Central Texas Marketplace Matters
Central Texas Marketplace on Loop 340 is the biggest shopping center in the Waco metro — over 70 stores, multiple restaurants, and a 17-screen Regal Cinemas. For Baylor students, it's the trip you take when you need to actually shop — replacing a broken laptop charger at Best Buy, picking up new dorm essentials at Target, getting clothes at TJ Maxx, or just spending an afternoon walking around when you need a break from campus. The 12-minute drive from 19Eleven means CTM works for both planned shopping trips and impulse outings. The Regal Cinemas is the closest major movie theater to campus, which makes it a popular weekend destination. The food court and sit-down restaurants — Olive Garden, BJ's Brewhouse, Genghis Grill, Buffalo Wild Wings — fill in around the shopping for when you want a full afternoon out without needing to coordinate a downtown trip.
