Northgate District
Local spots along University Drive
Northgate is home to much of College Station’s nightlife, with bars and restaurants lined along University Drive. Locals and visitors head to Dixie Chicken, a staple in the area, for a pint of their favorite beer while enjoying a greasy burger or other menu favorites, including a chicken fried steak sandwich and cheese fries. Chimy’s is a popular happy hour spot, offering tasty margaritas and Tex-Mex fare. There are plenty of options for a fun night out after a good meal. Hurricane Harry’s has live music throughout the week, while Four Downs is a great place to watch the Aggies play.Local farmers market and the George H.W. Bush Presidential Library
Even when school isn’t in session, College Station is buzzing with things to do, whether it’s a live concert or annual holiday celebrations. Local farmers and artisans sell their best products at the yearly Homegrown at Northgate farmers market. The neighborhood is a few miles from the George H.W. Bush Presidential Library and Museum, which has exhibits honoring the former president as well as events like moderated talks and the summer film series.Student housing and more home options
Most of the housing options in Northgate are high-rise apartment buildings and condominiums, many of which are student housing. However, there are small residential pockets in the area. These quiet residential streets are lined with ranch homes that have sold between $280,000 and $440,000 and traditional homes that have sold for between $300,000 and $675,000.College Station ISD schools and Texas A&M
Before heading to Texas A&M University to become an Aggie, students in the Northgate area will likely start their education at River Bend Elementary School, which has earned an A grade on Niche. Kids will then attend Cypress Grove Intermediate School, which has an A-minus grade, until sixth grade, followed by A-plus rated Wellborn Middle School. A&M Consolidated High School also has an A-plus Niche grade, boasting various clubs and organizations for its student body of over 1,700 including National Honor Society and the Bengal Belles drill team.Easy traveling around College Station
A&M students can get to and from campus using the AggieSpirit bus along College Main Street. Frequent flyers are only 3 miles from Easterwood Airport, which flies to Dallas Fort Worth International Airport.

Spend the day outdoors at Northgate Park
Residents head to Northgate Park to stretch their legs after a long day. Hikers can get lost in nature at Hensel Park, which has a sprawling trail that goes through a forested landscape. Parents can take their children to the playground to burn off energy after school.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
