Central to all Bryan has to offer
Escondido means “hidden” in Spanish, but the Escondido neighborhood of Bryan is quite the opposite of hard to find. “As far as what brings people to the neighborhood, it’s central to Bryan,” says Realtor Colin Clark with Keller Williams Realty Brazos Valley, who has lived in the area since 2012. “There’s so much going on in that area, with the businesses downtown.” Walking distance to the attractions of downtown Bryan — and just a short drive to Texas A&M — Escondido offers both access to the city lifestyle and a residential feel.

First Friday in downtown Bryan attracts crowds from Escondido.
Downtown Bryan’s First Friday festival
With downtown Bryan just across Texas Avenue, Escondido residents have easy access to the city's happenings. One of the city’s biggest events is the monthly First Friday festival, with family-friendly entertainment, live music and local artists taking over the historic downtown streets. “All of the businesses in downtown Bryan offer discounts or free services,” Clark says of First Friday. “The cops close off certain parts of the downtown area where people can walk around and try food. It’s kind of a big deal in the Bryan area.”
Midcentury homes in Escondido
Like much of the east side of downtown Bryan, the gridded streets of Escondido are shaded by large trees. The neighborhood’s homes, many of which were built between the 1930s and 1950s, often have fenced-in backyards. Small ranches or cottages with two or three bedrooms start near $100,000 and go to nearly $300,000, while more recently built or remodeled homes can be priced higher. Many of the homes in the area are sold as investment properties, either for long-term rental by students at the nearby colleges or for short-term rental for football weekends at nearby Texas A&M.
