Are you a young
professional or do you have a large family? Do you love to entertain or do you
want your home to be an escape from the rat race of the city? Can you afford a
house or is a two bedroom apartment with a roommate more within your budget?
Any pets? Whatever your situation, Bryan-College Station has something for you.
The college city has the amenities and conveniences of a city with the laid
back, friendly feeling of a small town. You can even find a home in Brazos
Valley outside of BCS for an even quieter atmosphere. It all comes down to the
kind of home you need.
Apartment
Apartments are the cheapest option,
and they’re convenient for young professionals: just enough room to live
comfortably and save money while you’re at it. You’ll find more apartments
closer to the city, typically, so if you’re a student or you work in downtown
Bryan or College Station, but don’t want a long commute, an apartment might be
the best choice for you. Apartments are especially convenient if you take
public transportation. On the other hand, if you’re a young couple that wants
to start a family, you may find that an apartment will quickly become crowded.
This is also not the best option if your pets need space to run around, since
you won’t have your own fenced in backyard. Even if you have an indoor pet,
make sure you pay close attention to the building’s rules about pets. Some
buildings only allow cats, while others allow cats and dogs but only dogs of a
certain size.
Townhouse or Condo
A townhouse or condo is a perfect
compromise for someone who needs more space than an apartment but can’t afford
or doesn’t yet have the need for a family home. A townhouse is a single family
home, usually two stories but sometimes three stories, attached by a common
wall to another identical single family home. With a townhouse, you typically
have your own yard and a bit more space to move around, but it’s still more
affordable than buying a house. A condo, or condominium, is a living unit
within a larger complex of living units all in the same structure. It’s similar
to apartment living, but you have more space and own your own living space,
which means you have more freedom when it comes to pets and decorating
(although you will likely be part of an HOA). Condos include community
amenities like gyms, pools, and roof access, while townhouses allow more
independence.
House
If you can afford a house, it’s the
best option possible. A house allows you the freedom to have up to four pets
(by city ordinance), to decorate or renovate as you please, and there’s plenty
of room to entertain or have guests over. A house can be convenient for a young
professional or family. Houses are the most expensive option, and the closer
you are to city conveniences, the more a house will cost. If you work in
Bryan-College Station, it may be helpful to find a home in Brazos Valley
outside of the city limits to save on cash. Whatever your preference, it helps
to talk to an experienced realtor who knows the area by
heart. She can find you a home that suits your needs for your particular
situation, and she can find you the best deals on the home you need.
There’s no doubt, Bryan-College
Station has the home you need. Call your realtor today to find it.
