Suburban living in southern College Station

Shenandoah sits on the southern side of Aggieland, offering a prime location in the sister cities of Bryan and College Station, as well as affordable, traditional homes.

Shenandoah is centered by an expansive park, and a community center that has a pool for the scorching summer months. The neighborhood appeals to first-time buyers and investors alike, with lower home prices than surrounding neighborhoods.

Spacious Traditional brick homes

Traditional brick homes file along sidewalk-lined streets throughout Shenandoah. Many roads end in cul-de-sacs, giving residents some additional peace and quiet. “It’s a neighborhood that a lot of people buy their first house in,” says Raylene Lewis, a real estate agent with Century 21 Integra who has over 20 years of real estate experience. “Investors also like it because the homes have a great history of appreciation.” Lewis continues to say that homes can cost anywhere between $300,000 and $400,000, and there’s a blend of rental properties and homes for sale. “I’d say there are more owners in there than rental properties,” says Linda Vorenkamp, a realtor with Beyond Real Estate who has lived in the Bryan/College Station area for over 32 years.

Disc golfing at Southern Oaks Park

Green spaces are abundant in Shenandoah. “The developer for the neighborhood was Ed Froehling, and he literally took a whole block and made it a park for kids, with walking trails and everything,” Lewis says. Southern Oaks Park, which was initially called Shenandoah Park, boasts several amenities for folks looking to spend the day outdoors. The 9-hole disc golf course provides a challenge for players of all skill levels. The park also has a forested trail that’s popular with dog walkers. Reatta Meadows Park has a playground that kids can spend hours on and a covered bench to enjoy lunch after a day of play.

Southern comfort foods at Marfa Texas Kitchen

“The neighborhood is very close to the Tower Point H-E-B, which is becoming an up-and-coming hub for shopping,” Lewis says. The Tower Point area, just off William D. Fitch Parkway, is lined with retail stores, restaurants, and grocery stores like Spice World Market. Marfa Texas Kitchen is a hidden gem in southern College Station, serving southern comfort foods like Texas caviar and chicken fried steak. Gringo’s, located along Texas 6 Frontage Road, is the go-to place for Mexican fare. Saltgrass serves various cuts of steaks, including Wagyu strip and porterhouse, as well as several barbecue options.
