Acreage community near the heart of College Station
College Station's Sandstone neighborhood seamlessly blends a rural landscape and upscale homes. Tucked in the southern side of College Station, about 5 miles from Texas A&M University, this small community appeals to Aggies looking for seclusion while staying close to the heart of College Station. "I'd say it's a pretty established part of College Station, and it's near the heart of the city," says Genni Murphy, a real estate broker and owner of Miles of Grace Realty who has lived in Aggieland for over 20 years.
Sandstone is a rural community in College Station.

Acre lots and spacious estates
Single-family homes in Sandstone spread along lengthy, rural roads, some ending in cul-de-sacs. Most homes were built in the 1980s and ’90s and sit on acre lots, typically priced from $530,000 to the high $600,000s. Homes that sit on multiacre lots as well as homes built in the early 2000s can cost anywhere from the high $700,000s to $1.2 million. Residents who buy tend to stay a while, so homes don't come on the market often. "There's a pretty low turnover rate," Murphy says.
Many homes are situated on larger lots in Sandstone.

Live music at Luigi's
Luigi's Patio Ristorante has live music most days of the week, and the acoustic or jazz performances add to the cozy atmosphere. A little way down Frontage 6 Road, Stella Southern Cafe is a go-to spot for brunch. The Rock Prairie Crossing shopping center has retail options, chain restaurants and Kroger for any grocery needs. Many more eateries and shops await along Texas Avenue, 2 miles away, with everything from department stores to local eateries.
State Highway 6 is an easy way around Aggieland
Running along the northern side of Bryan-College Station, State Highway 6 is a major roadway in the sister cities. Sandstone is 5 miles from Texas A&M University, accessible via Texas Avenue, another main thoroughfare with an array of shopping centers and restaurants. A lack of public transportation near Sandstone means most locals drive to get around, and the abundance of thoroughfares often means less traffic. Baylor Scott and White Medical Center — a top hospital, according to U.S. News and World Report — is 2 miles from the community, and small Easterwood Airport is 8 miles out.
