Condos for Sale in Rio Vista, San Angelo

In the small West Texas city of San Angelo, Rio Vista is a residential quarter that is home to many college students, military members and medical affiliates. “San Angelo was founded as a long-time ranching and railroad community,” says Ray McKim, a professional landman and San Angelo resident of 40 years. “Today, our four economic pillars are Angelo State University, Goodfellow Air Force Base, Shannon Medical Center and Nasworthy Lake.” The university and the base bring a younger crowd to Rio Vista, while the hospital and nearby lake attract retirees and near-retirees. “The city is old school, but the cost of housing is something that anyone would appreciate,” McKim says. The median price for single-family homes here is around $265,000, compared to the national median of about $420,000. While the neighborhood is bookended by ASU to the west and Goodfellow to the east, U.S. Route 87 slices down the center, connecting locals to retail stores and restaurants, and commuters to major highways. Many Rio Vista residents are associated with Angelo State University, or ASU, which occupies the west side of the neighborhood. Designated as both a Hispanic-Serving Institution by the U.S.
