Hi S.,
Welcome to Waco! I have lived in this area for more than 10 years and I can honestly say that I love it. I currently live in Robinson, but am in the process of building a house in Lorena. The Mountainview area is nice, as well! There are lots of good places to live in Waco. I think Kelly Realtors has a couple of agents that deal with rental properties so you may want to give them a call.
I have one little girl and we do not use a pediatrician - we use our family doctor, Scott Blattman. He is fabulous! In fact, all of the family doctors at his clinic are great (Hillcrest Hwy 6 and Bosque Clinic). If you are set on using a pedi, I hear good things about Drs. Nesmith and Chakmakjian.
Hope this helps you! Feel free to convo me if you have any additional questions.
