• College Station is home to one of the country’s largest public universities – Texas A&M University. The college is a member of the Southeastern Conference, which makes it a major sports attraction, and locals are very passionate about supporting the home team. The school is also a big provider of employment in the city.
• College Station is a historical city, which just celebrated the 75^th anniversary of its incorporation in 2013. The community dates back to the founding of Texas A&M University, which opened in 1876 as the state’s first institution of higher education. The community was designated as College Station by the US Postal Service in 1877 – the name was inspired by the train station that is located near the campus.
• College Station is home to 55 public parks that cover more than 1,337 acres. There’s nothing better than the great outdoors, and the public parks provide locals with incredible amenities like tennis and basketball courts, hiking trails, swimming pools, dog parks, playgrounds and more.

• One of the biggest attractions in College Station is the George W. Bush Presidential library, which attracts more than 125,000 visitors year after year. In addition to the presidential library, the city is also home to museums, wineries, art galleries and a wide range of family friendly activities – you’ll never run out of things to do!

Finding the perfect home in the beautiful Castle Rock community can be a very fun experience, but it can also be overwhelming. In general, buying a home is a really big deal, both personally and financially, and house hunting can take a lot of energy. That is why it is so important to have a list of priorities prepared ahead of time so you can distinguish between what you absolutely need in your new home versus features that you want or would be nice to have. It’s very easy to be excited by an impressive listing and everyone loves walking through an open house that features stunning marble countertops, modern stainless steel appliances, a jacuzzi hot tub and expansive master suites. Buying a new home is a huge investment and you are likely to spend a lot of time in this house, so you have to be practical and make sure that your dream home meets your needs while also giving you a few of the ritzy features that you’d love to have.  

• Before you think about what you want to have in a new home, think about what you currently do not enjoy in your current home. Are you running out of space in a cramped kitchen? Are you looking to start a family soon and will need more bedrooms? Think about what it is that makes you want to move, and make sure that it is at the top of your list of things to look for in a new home. If you’re moving because you need to relocate for work, or you simply want to be in a different neighborhood, then you will want to find a property that matches the amenities in your current home. 
• Consider how much space you will need. This includes the lot size, how many bedrooms and bathrooms you need, whether you need additional room for a home office, home gym or a playroom and any other amenities you will need space for. What are you willing to give up if you have to? Make these numbers slightly flexible so that you can work with different layouts if you need to. 
• Put together a list of all the items and amenities you want in your new home, and then prioritize in order of importance. You can even search online and look up a homebuyer’s check list that will help you look up features and items that you may forget to think about. Things like square footage, number of bedrooms and bathrooms and location may be non-negotiable. Additional amenities like a pool, fireplace or extra space for a game room would be nice to have, but if you find a home that fulfills your needs you should go for that one! You can always put in a pool or fireplace later on, or remodel the home so that you can add any amenities that you may want. 
• Think about your budget and how big of a loan you are already pre-approved or pre-qualified for. At the end of the day, if you can’t afford the home you want then you won’t be able to buy it. 

It’s very important to be able to distinguish between what you need and what you want when you are looking for a new home. It’s also important to be flexible, because it can be difficult to find a property that has absolutely everything you need and want, unless you build a home from the ground up to your exact specifications.
