Apartments Near H-E-B
H-E-B is Texas' beloved grocery chain and the closest full grocery store to Centre. Affordable prices, fresh produce, and everything you need for weekly shopping.
Why H-E-B Matters
If you're new to Texas, here's the quick truth: H-E-B is the grocery store. Texans hold strong opinions about H-E-B specifically; it's affordable, the produce is fresh, the prepared foods are above average, and the in-house brands are genuinely good. For Baylor students, the H-E-B at 1901 South Valley Mills Drive is the closest full-size grocery store to Centre Apartments — 1.8 miles, a five-minute drive — and it's where most of the apartment community handles weekly shopping. The store stocks the usual full grocery range plus deli, bakery, prepared meals, beer and wine, household basics, and a small pharmacy. H-E-B's online ordering and curbside pickup work well if you don't want to walk through the store on a Sunday afternoon. For roommate shopping runs, the parking lot has space, and the trip back to Centre is short enough that frozen items survive.
