For Buyers

Most properties near campus are 2–4 bedroom homes, townhomes, and condos. Supply is typically limited, with only a handful of active listings in 77840 at any given time. Texas property taxes, HOA dues, and maintenance costs can substantially affect the total ownership picture beyond the mortgage payment.

For Renters

Off-campus rent in College Station is typically lower than in major metro campus markets, but advertised rent is only part of the cost. Compare deposits, parking, utilities, summer obligations, furnishing, annual increases, and whether the unit requires a guarantor. TAMU-area leases often run August–July, and pre-leasing can begin months in advance.

For Investors

Evaluate purchase price, rent-by-room vs. rent-by-unit income, operating expenses, HOA rental restrictions, occupant limits, local registration rules, and the exit strategy. Consistent enrollment at Texas A&M can support demand, but cash-flow assumptions should be tested with realistic vacancy and maintenance reserves.

Condos and townhomes dominate the 77840 purchase market. Most active listings fall in the $300,000–$750,000 range. HOA dues in campus-area buildings typically range from $250–$500/month. Review HOA rental restrictions and warrantability before making an offer.

Source: U.S. Census Bureau QuickFacts — College Station, TX (2020–2024 ACS 5-Year).

Campus-area monthly rent for a 1-bedroom typically starts around $1,600; 2-bedroom units range from $2,500–$3,000. Student leases commonly run August–July. Leasing for the following academic year often begins as early as October. The City of College Station maintains a rental registration program; verify current requirements before listing a property.
