Longstanding central Bryan community

Born in 1838, Lawrence Sullivan "Sul" Ross had a lasting impact on the Lone Star State. He served as the 19th governor, a Confederate general and the fourth president of Texas A&M University, before the school took its modern name. Today in Texas, several schools, parks and buildings are named after him. In Central Bryan, the Sul Ross neighborhood also pays homage to the former governor, as does the neighborhood’s namesake park and elementary school. “It’s an older established neighborhood in the middle of Bryan,” says Jennifer Fredericks, a broker with Inhabit Real Estate Group with 27 years of real estate experience in Bryan and College Station. Spacious homes on large lots are a big draw, plus proximity to Aggieland’s main thoroughfare for area amenities.

Sul Ross is located near many of great amenities found in Bryan and College Station.

Traditional 1950's and '60s built homes

Traditional brick homes and ranch-style houses on spacious lots are common throughout the neighborhood. “The homes sit on large lots,” Fredericks adds. “There might be some outliers but for the most part the homes were built in the ‘50s and ‘60s.” Homes have kept their curb appeal throughout the decades, and most have interior renovations. Towering mature trees adorn the front yards of homes in the neighborhood, and though many of the roads don’t have sidewalks, houses have long driveways, and some have attached garages. House prices in the area are largely dependent on lot size and if the home has any upgrades. For the most part, homes cost between $200,000 and $350,000.
