Quiet neighborhood close to downtown Bryan

With plenty of new businesses and restaurants, the downtown area of Bryan, Texas is a hot area in a town generally known as more family friendly than its twin city, College Station. For those families that want to be near the center but far enough away to have some space and quiet, the Upper Burton Creek neighborhood sits just south of downtown. “Probably the biggest draw of the neighborhood is that it’s relatively close to downtown Bryan,” says Anthony Gutierrez, Realtor with Keller Williams Realty Brazos Valley that has worked in the area for seven years. “There’s a lot of rejuvenation that has gone on down there.” With a variety of homes, nearby employers and convenient transportation, residents have a sweet spot in Upper Burton Creek.
