[QUOTE="chippie, post: 1097167, member: 5644"] I go to College Station / Bryan quite a bit (at least monthly). I've lived in the Houston area (within 30 miles) all my life (I'm 60). Several friends who work at A&M live elsewhere and commute. One lives in Madisonville. It isn't people moving out of Houston wanting to live in the country that is driving the prices up in that area. It is the University. Apartments, rental houses for students, alumni wanting a place to stay for the games, and parents who actually buy property for their student as an investment. The traffic is worse than Houston on Game Day and pretty bad during the school year. The advice to contact a reputable real estate agent that handles property, farms and ranch land is good advice. Ag Exemption varies from county to county. Our place was attached to a larger piece taxwise before we bought it. It was too small (less than 25 acres) to get Ag Exemption, and the county rolled back the taxes 10 years and we had to pay 10 years worth of the difference between AG and non-AG exemption. That was a shock. I don't know what your price range is, but there are some nice small towns around the area. Here's a search homes with acreage and acreage within 50 miles of College Station: [url]http://tinyurl.com/landWithin50mileCollegeStation[/url] ETA: OSR stands for Old San Antonio Road [/QUOTE]
