A suburban feel between Bryan and College Station
With landscaped lawns, a tranquil park and plenty of cul-de-sacs, Memorial Forest casts suburban spell. However, the small neighborhood sits right in the middle of Bryan and College Station, twin cities that together exceed a population of 200,000. “It’s a beautiful area,” says Lisa Cadena Craig, Broker Associate at Keller Williams Brazos Valley. After graduating from Texas A&M in 1993, Cadena Craig still lives in the area. “If someone wants an area with established homes and neighborhoods and that hometown feel, it’s Memorial Forest.”

Brick homes in Memorial Forest
Mature oaks shade the well-manicured lawns that run along Memorial Forest's suburban streets. The mostly brick builds vary in style, with one-story ranchers and Colonial revivals south of Camelot Park, while new traditional homes with pitched roofs are more common north of the park. “They’re definitely well maintained, and the homeowners have a lot of pride in their community,” Cadena Craig says. Prices are generally between the mid-$200,000s to the mid-$300,000s, though homes with fairway views of the City Course at the Philips Event Center can sell up to $500,000. The north side of the neighborhood is split between several HOAs with fees generally between $100 and $1,200, while the southern portion doesn’t have an association. Various condos, most of which sit closer to East 29th Street, sell between $100,000 and $200,000.
