If you attended Texas A & M University in College Station, you already know what a wonderful community this is. But many people from outside the area are choosing to build new homes in College Station, too. Take a look at some of the reasons BCS is such an attractive location.

  • In 2017, Forbes.com ranked College Station as the #3 small place in the entire country for business and careers.
  • The same Forbes.com ranking revealed that the cost of living in BCS is 3% below that national average.
  • College Station has excellent schools. Kiplinger’s Personal Finance magazine cited the quality of education – for students of all ages – as one of the reasons it recently named College Station as a great place to live.
  • College Station is known for its friendly, welcoming people. Movoto.com wrote, “You will never, ever meet friendlier folk. No, really.”
  • It’s a great place to raise a family. Other factors cited by Kiplinger’s in ranking College Station among the country’s top places to live include a low crime rate, affordable housing, and a low property tax rate as compared to other communities of similar size.
  • Nearby Lake Bryan is perfect for boating, waterskiing, picnics, and taking in legendary Texas sunsets.
  • Businesses are moving to BCS, too, and creating new jobs. Recent announcements include Advanta Seeds, Recon MR, a third HEB, and several restaurants and retail stores.
  • On a related note, College Station has one of the lowest unemployment rates in Texas.
  • Even though it’s growing, College Station still feels like a small town. When you want the excitement of the city, Houston is only an hour and a half away, and Austin is just a two-hour drive.
