I was wondering if anybody knew about the local neighborhoods and areas around Bryan-College Station Texas. I am interviewing and thinking of moving to the area. I am looking for area with good schools, big yards and 4 bedroom houses? If there are any Freeper real estate agents with info it would be a great help.

You're thinking of moving near A&M???? WHAT ON EARTH ARE THINKING???

I suggest you consider Columbus, Ohio. Lemme know if you want suggestions about neighborhoods there. :)

Go to http://www.forsalebyowner.com (I think that's the website) and look in that area. Hope that helps. Most real estate people EVERYWHERE will take advantage of you...that has been my experience and I won't deal with them.

I've looked up the on line sites, I was just wondering about the local knowledge of the neighborhoods.. like "that's a nice place to live" or ... "everybody just loves that neighborhood" kind of comment. Stuff that isn't on paper.... more like "word of mouth".

Because I was born in Bryan, my dad has teased me my whole life about being an Aggie. It was his fault!

I haven't been to College Station for about 55 years
but, no matter where you go BE SURE TO FIND A BUYERS
AGENT. If you use a sellers agent you will lose.
Money (your money) will be left on the table. It's
like you suing someone and using their lawyer to hash
out the details. Research Buyer's Agents on the net,
learn the difference and you will be much better off.
No, I am not one myself nor in real estate except that
I have bought houses both ways and there's a world of
difference. Good Luck.

I am considering it, but I was thinking that Bryan-College Station was more family friendly, less expensive.

I have 4 kids and am looking at the elementary to high schools. What areas of Austin would you consider if you were working at Breckenridge and needed 15-30 minute commute?

Don't rule out south Bryan. My daughter has a very nice house off College about a mile north of A&M campus. I commented on the nice diversity of the neighborhood and she said her house, about 35-40 years old, was designed by the head of the A&M architecture department. (3 bedroom, $100s range, but many larger ones around.)

When I went to A&M, nobody lived in College Station except students. 20 years later, I don't know if it's still that way, but there are nice places to live in Bryan.

I lived in College Station about 10 years ago. I loved it. As a student, I lived in a mobile home park off Krenik Tap. Just be careful around the campus area the first week of each semester - too many new drivers looking instead of driving.

Move to sunny Northeast Florida!

Just kidding. But it is sunny here. Atleast in fall and winter.

Now . . . now. I'm a Texas Tech grad so you won't see me jump on any Aggie BandWagon . . . but it's a fact that The Republic of Texas is God's country. LOL.

Although many just love our state because we don't have a state income tax . . . uhhhhh . . . unlike Ohio.

There is plenty of what you're looking for in both places.
