Garden Acres is just two miles from Texas A&M, offering a premium location in the heart of Aggieland and classic homes. “It’s really close to the university, but it still has that old historic charm on the main streets. They’ve really done a good job keeping the era prevalent while still updating and modernizing the homes,” says Laura Lea Smith, a Realtor with Coldwell Banker Apex, who is the number one Coldwell Banker affiliate in the state. This quiet residential neighborhood sits near the midpoint of the sister cities of Bryan and College Station, giving homeowners the best of the both cities.
Garden Acres is a tight-knit community and a great place to raise a family.

Classic, traditional homes on large lots
Many of the homes in Garden Acres were built in the 1950s and 60s, giving them a classic charm with renovated interiors. House prices tend to stay between $200,000 and $350,000 and rental properties are also available. One-level traditional homes are common throughout Garden Acres, and homes often sit on quarter-acre or larger lots. Smith says that the neighborhood has a blend of retirees and Texas A&M students throughout the area and that the neighborhood doesn’t have a homeowners association like some surrounding communities. Homes are spaced out on quiet residential roads, and though many streets don’t have sidewalks, there’s plenty of space to go for a morning jog.

Texas Avenue and proximity to Texas A&M
Texas Avenue is one of the major thoroughfares in the Bryan/College Station area. It leads directly to Texas A&M University, which is just two miles away and downtown Bryan, which is about 3 miles out. “College Station and Bryan are sister cities, so you really never know when you’re leaving one and entering the other,” Smith says. Residents drive to get around, but the neighborhood isn’t far from a few stops on the AggieSpirit bus, which shuttles Texas A&M students around.
