Why Choose Brazos Valley?

Sometimes you move because you need a change of scene. You need to get out of the rat race. You feel too crowded in the same place and need to stretch your legs, physically and figuratively. Whether you just graduated school or you just retired or any life chapter in between, changing your location can give you a new perspective and breath of fresh air.

Brazos Valley is an excellent choice when you need a change of scene, whether it be the cities of Bryan and College Station or the quieter, outlying areas. Here are a few reasons to choose Brazos Valley for your next move:

More Space and Privacy

In Texas, wide open space is important, and you can certainly find that in Brazos Valley. Properties tend to be wider, and you can even buy land in the outlying areas. Brazos Valley is the kind of place where you can look out at the stars from your porch on a clear night...and see more of them than you might in a heavier populated area. If you want a place to stretch your legs and experience some peace and quiet, Brazos Valley should certainly be a contender, especially the outlying Brazos Valley.

But Not Without City Amenities

That’s not to say that Brazos Valley is all fields and open space. Brazos Valley is centered around Brazos County, and in particular, Bryan-College Station. College Station is home to Texas A&M University and, by extension, the Aggie sports program. In the city, you can find a variety of excellent restaurants and bars, shops, communities, festivals, and activities for the whole family to enjoy. Downtown Bryan is full of colorful independent businesses. On the First Friday of every month, these businesses stay open later and you can enjoy live music and art while you shop.

It’s a Great Place to Raise a Family

By and large, residents of College Station and the outlying Brazos Valley would describe their community as “friendly.” It’s not so small that everyone knows everyone and you can’t get a moment’s peace, but neighbors smile and wave at each other and the community is very welcoming of newcomers. There are a number of great parks in Brazos Valley, as well as schools, from preschool to university. It’s sunny throughout most of the year, and a safe place to live.

Could Brazos Valley be the right place for you to have your change of scenery? It depends in large part on your realtor. An experienced realtor who has personally lived in Brazos Valley will do more than help you get the best deal on the house of your dreams. She’ll be able to tell you about all the best neighborhoods in the area, both within Bryan-College Station and without. She can direct you to the schools, parks, or places to buy enough land to stretch out. She’ll be an expert on the local market trends and be able to help you understand how they can work for you. If you’re moving to Brazos Valley for the first time, don’t go through it alone. Talk to a local realtor to help you make the most of your move.
