Community spirit rings strong within the walls of Castlegate
The ornamental towers that lead entry into Castlegate, a residential community located about 8 miles from Texas A&M, signifies an invitation new homebuyers to their new home and a warm welcome to returning residents. The community consists of two subdivisions, Castlegate and Castlegate II, and a strong sense of community rings through both neighborhoods. "I've lived in quite a few different areas, and I will say that Castlegate has definitely been the friendliest," says Raylene Lewis, a Castlegate resident for almost 10 years and Realtor with Century 21 Integra with over 20 years of real estate experience. "Half of the time when I come home, like if it's a trash day, my trash can is already put up because my neighbor will come move it up for me, and if I get there first, I'll put up theirs," Lewis says. Castlegate is a sought-after neighborhood for people throughout Brazos County for its abundance of green spaces and walking trails, in addition to the stock of single-family homes and excellent schools in the College Station Independent School District.
Castlegate offers welcoming atmosphere with well-maintained homes and green spaces.

Bring your best dish to the neighborhood potluck
Both subdivisions of Castlegate have homeowner's associations that arrange events throughout the year, whether it's a summer pool party or holiday celebrations. "We have a community center right on the pond that people rent out, and that's usually where they hold events. You also have your events in the cul-de-sac or on the street," Lewis says. These events include impromptu block parties or potlucks where residents will receive a flyer at their front door inviting them to cook their favorite meal to share with their neighbors. Residents adorn their homes with spooky decorations to bring in trick-or-treaters on Halloween.

Easterwood Airport offers commercial flights to Castlegate residents.
William Fitch Parkway and getting around College Station
When Castlegate residents are out and about, they can hop on William D Fitch Parkway, which leads to either Wellborn Road or State Highway 6. There isn't much public transportation around, and locals tend to drive to get around. Castlegate is just 8 miles from Texas A&M University and 13 miles from Bryan, which are both accessible using State Highway 6. Locals flying within the state are about 9 miles from Easterwood Airport, a regional airport offering commercial flights for United and American Airlines.
Chow down at Casa Do Brasil and shop along State Highway 6
Fitch Parkway puts residents at the crossroads of Wellborn Road and Frontage 6 Road, both of which are lined with shopping centers and restaurants. The brunch crowd heads to Urban Table or Harvest Coffee on the weekends for filling breakfast plates. However, a quick drive down Wellborn Road will lead to Hullabaloo, which was featured on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives and has "pancakes the size of your face," Golladay says. A common recommendation from locals in the area for lunch is Casa Do Brasil, which serves skewered meats and an extensive salad bar. For a casual drink and an array of dressed hot dogs, The Angry Elephant is close by. Of course, H-E-B is also along Fitch Parkway for groceries and daily essentials.
