- 01/10/12 05:56 AM
College Station makes every effort to get their citizens involved in the community. They truly believe that the more involved residents are in their neighborhoods, the more the city will thrive. That's one of the reasons it's so great to live here. I wrote previously about the Citizen University program taking place later this month where College Station residents can learn about the day-to-day operations of their own local government. Well, the police department doesn't want to be left out. So, they're holding their own Citizen Police Academy in College Station.

college station homes for sale: Buying a Bryan-College Station Home Just Makes Sense
- 01/03/12 05:42 AM
Buying a Bryan-College Station home rather than renting one just makes sense (dollars and cents that is). Just a few short years ago, this wasn't the case. With housing prices skyrocketing and interest rates higher, it was difficult for many people to purchase a Bryan-College Station home. So, renting a home seemed like a much more viable financial alternative. That's not the case anymore.
Interest rates remained at historically low levels throughout 2011. In fact, at the end of 2011, interest rates remained at or below 4% for nine weeks in a row. Only twice throughout the entire 2011 calendar year were they … (0 comments)

college station homes for sale: Bryan-College Station Named One of the South's Best College Towns
- 08/30/11 06:03 AM
Southern Living has recognized what anyone living here knows: Bryan-College Station is one of the South's Best College Towns. Southern Living was so impressed with the area, that they even named it twice; once for Bryan-College Station and once for Texas A&M University itself, which calls College Station home.
What are the criteria to be named the Best College Town? The city must be comprised of less than 200,000 regular residents. This ensures that the college has a major affect on the city it inhabits. There need to be plenty of good restaurants that a student's meager income could afford, nice … (1 comments)
