College Station Condos
College Station Condos (also known as kiddie condos)can be an affordable solution for your Texas A and M students living while in Aggieland. The purchase of one of these condos can bring you appreciation and a lower cost of living for your student.
Depending on your circumstances and the amount you can put down, you might even be able to pay for your students living expenses and a large portion of their tuition with your College Station Condo
There are several condo complexes that are excellent around town. One of my favorites is Deacon Row Condos.
These three bedroom, two bath condos are well built and right on the shuttle route. Less than three miles from Kyle Field it's a breeze to get whereever your student needs to go.
Built in 2001, these are still relatively new and the complex lacks a pool, which greatly cuts down on your HOA dues per month.
Currently running around 125K with a monthly fee of $80, these College Condos are affordable and efficient. These mean never having to tell your son or daughter to mow the lawn. This might minimize your frustration!
Call today for information about available units!

College Station Condos
College Station has a wide variety of student condos as well as condos that are perfect for just spending an occasional football weekend in. Bryan is another good venue for condos, though many there are for active adults as well and tend to be more luxury listings. In this post, I will focus on the more desirable, newer condos available in our market.
The desirability of a College Station Condo can be tagged upon how close the complex is to campus, with those being further away selling for less money, even when well appointed.
Fox Run Condos are probably one of the closest condo projects to campus. These well built two and three bedroom condos are a mere bike-ride away from the action at football games and 8 am classes. Built with luxury in mind these condos provide soaring ceilings and large bedrooms. The complex offers a pool as well. With prices starting at 124K for a 2 bedroom, this complex is a must see. Three bedroom, three bath units, when available, typically run 155K and above. Availability is limited, listings don't often come up.
The Woodland Condos are a truly spectacular project with grand dreams of a perfect condo project. These 2, 3 and 4 bedroom condos offer luxury living, but are aggressively priced for our market. Located on Southwest Parkway and Wellborn Road it is probably less than two miles from campus. The wood work looks good and the list of amenities is spectacular, but the price point should include IMHO granite counter-tops and other standard items for luxury condos.
Waterwood Condos are located off Krenek Tap between Texas and Highway 6. These are, according to one inspector I trust, one of the best built condos in the College Station market. These three bedroom and four bedroom models offer as many baths and bedrooms and all the amenities you would expect. Most have granite counter-tops. These beautiful finds are again, not always available. Interestingly the four bedrooms last year sold for 149-155K while the three bedroom (which granted, has some extra style) was sold for 158K.
There are many condos available for the budget conscience and I will focus on them in a future post.
For information on availability of these, and other condos visit the my MLS search or email me for timely information.
