About College Station

College Station, situated in the Brazos Valley of Central Texas, got its start thanks to the old Texas and Houston Central Railroad back in 1860.  A decade later, the Texas Agriculture and Mechanical College (known now as Texas A&M University) came into being.  The matching of the university and College Station’s agriculturally-based economy help cultivate and develop the area, bringing more people and diversifying the region.  Today, College Station has became known as one of the Most Educated Cities in Texas.  The university has expanded considerably to incorporate several new and advanced academic facilities.

While the years have seen an increase in size and growth for the Brazos Valley, Bryan and College Station have continued to enjoy the benefits of the rural communities, thanks to the surrounding areas like Kurten, Navasota, Hearne, Caldwell, Mumford and Anderson.  Many of these towns offer the beauty and placidness of the Texas countryside combined with culture and intrigue for the daytime tourist.

What really makes College Station one of the best places to live, however, is the friendliness and spirit of the Aggie community.  Below, you will find a number of excellent communities and neighborhoods that share this characteristic.  Along with a description of each neighborhood will be a list of important details, such as school districts, proximity to the university, and other information we hope will make your search easier.
