Lacy Lakeview is a city in McLennan County, Texas, United States.
Lacy and Lakeview were stations on the Texas Electric Railway, also known as the Interurban which ran between Dallas and Waco.
[citation needed] Neither town grew quickly; by the 1940s the combined population of the two communities was barely 120 with only four businesses.
Thereafter, the population of the new combined community quickly grew to over 2,000 residents by the early 1960s, its economy almost wholly dependent on nearby Waco.
[citation needed] In 1998, the city of Northcrest merged with Lacy Lakeview; this allowed the consolidated area to qualify under Texas law for home rule status.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 3.8 square miles (9.8 km2), all land.
