Millview West is Texas State University’s next-door neighborhood
Millview West is an apartment community of around 2,000 that’s just half a mile from Texas State University. In the 1930s, Millview West and East were housing communities for local workers who processed wool at the Old Mill by the original railroad. Today, it looks much different for Millview West’s student population, with residents enjoying limited retail, plenty of restaurant options and local entertainment that includes college sports and a movie theater. Millview West is also close to downtown. “Up in Austin, they call it 6th Street, and in New Orleans, they call it Bourbon Street,” mill owner Henry Oles says. “That’s a little bit of what Downtown San Marcos is like.”
Students can locals can find great apartments close to town and campus in Millview West.
Texas State University reached a record enrollment of 40,678 students in the 2024 fall semester.
