College Town properties make a great investment. With rents rising approximately 5% over the last year and experts projecting them to continue to rise another 5% over the next 12 months, investing in a College Station property makes both dollars AND sense. The closer to the college, the better.

Every year, thousands of homes across the country go up in flames due to Christmas tree fires. Most of these home fires could have been prevented. If you don't want your Bryan/College Station home turned into an unwelcome barbecue, follow these simple Christmas tree care tips provided by the Bryan Fire Department:

college station homes: Is it Time to Downsize? - 10/25/11 01:19 PM
Today's economy has many Bryan-College Station homeowners wondering if now is the time to downsize. The trend of buying and building super-sized homes of the recent past has given way to smaller, more energy-efficient homes today, according to home builders.

The family dynamic can certainly dictate the size of your Bryan-College Station home. A larger family will need more space. That seems obvious. However, that doesn't necessarily mean you need one bedroom per child. Many of us grew up sharing a bedroom at one point or another so why not your children?
