Temple, TX is a mid-sized Central Texas hub anchored by a large regional medical center and located right on I‑35, giving you easy access, affordable housing, a compact historic downtown with restaurants, cafés and parks, and nearby outdoor options like Lake Belton—comfortable and convenient for multi-week stays.
Short drives put you in Waco (≈35 miles) for museums and Baylor University or Austin (≈65 miles) for major music, dining and weekend escapes, so Temple makes a quiet, well‑located base with plenty to do nearby.
