College Station, TX has found itself a haven for high-end buyers looking for luxury homes. Though the proximity to Texas A&M University causes a high turnover in properties, prices for high-end College Station homes are significantly lower than the cost of similar upscale properties in Dallas and other large Texas cities.

What is Considered a Luxury Property in College Station, TX?

High end homes in College Station are concentrated in a handful of neighborhoods in the College Station area. The Indian Lakes area, Traditions, Miramont, houses in Pebble Creek and Pebble Creek Garden to name a few, and large homes near Texas A&M consistently price for over $500,000 and can often surpass one million. Take a look through this stunning traditional brick home on 111 Lee Avenue and this Pebble Creek charmer at 4922 Firestone to get an idea of the luxury College Station homes that buyers are looking for.

1. Interiors That Wow
These luxury properties tend to have great curb appeal, unique details on the interior, and large kitchens with stone countertops. The homes also often have anywhere from 4-7 beds and 3-7 baths. Luxury homes also tend to have access to amenities such as a private hot tub or pool and are turnkey ready.

2. Central Location Ideal for Commuters
The central location between Houston, Dallas, and San Antonio makes the city of College Station a prime spot for commuters who have meetings, business trips, or families in the neighboring cities. With home prices lower in College Station and its proximity to Texas A&M, the city is becoming a better place for growing families to enjoy luxury homes without big city price tags.

Updated restrooms, a large terminal renovation, TSA Pre-check lines, more seating and a café in the McKenzie terminal are just a few of the changes commuters will enjoy. With these new upgrades and hopefully more flights in and out, high end homes will also add proximity to a local airport to their repertoire.

What High End Buyers are Looking For
