In the heart of Aggieland

Together, the sister cities of College Station and Bryan are commonly referred to as Aggieland, after the flagship university of Texas A&M University, home of the Aggies, itself an ode to the area's agrarian roots. College Station is undeniably a college town, but parts of the community, like Central College Station, are more suburban than collegiate. Made up of several established subdivisions, the area features homes on spacious lots, plus great schools and proximity to an abundance of amenities. “A lot of people like that they can live here and be close to several stores and restaurants. They also like being close to Bachmann Park,” says Raylene Lewis, a Realtor with NextHome Realty Solutions BCS who has decades of experience in the area.

Traditional brick houses and ranchers

Central College Station is made up of a number of smaller subdivisions with an array of housing options. Subdivisions like Southwood Valley or Southwood Terrace consist mostly of Traditional brick homes and ranch-style houses. “The neighborhoods are kind of combined in the eyes of people from College Station,” Lewis says. “It’s all kind of considered the Southwood Valley area.” Though a majority of the housing options are single-family homes, there are condos in some neighborhoods as well. For the most part, home prices range between $180,000 and $330,000. However, Southwood Forest is an outlier, containing custom homes on large lots that can sell between $500,000 and $850,000.
