Southwood, Southwood Valley, Southwood Terrace


Southwood, Southwood Valley and Southwood Terrace are located right off the HWY 6 bypass South to Rock Prairie and runs North to Southwest PKWY and West to the  Wellborn Road area in some places and to Welsh Rd. in other places. These wonderful neighborhoods were predominately built in the 1970s until the mid 1990s. Owners will be pleased with these neighborhood's great location, close to just about everything. There are 3 parks Brother's Pond Park, George K. Fitch Park, and Longmire Park that are within these neighborhood's borders. Additionally, there is the Brian Bachmann Community Park which was built in 1981 as Southwood Athletic Complex, College Station's first almost exclusively athletics park. Baseball, basketball, swimming, skateboarding, tennis, as well as a covered pavilion area make up this great complex. These neighborhoods are in close proximity to the new Scott & White Hospital as well as the established The Med Hospital.

The Southwood Valley Neighborhood spans from HWY 6 to Welsh Avenue in some parts and Wellborn Road in other parts to Ponderosa Drive to FM 2818/Harvey Mitchell PKWY. These properties are mixed between single-family homes predominately but also include some multi-family units. These homes range from entry level homes around $110K to mid-tier homes maxing around $200K.  This neighborhood is also very popular as investments for our ever growing student population. Some areas are restricted to no more than 2 unrelated residents, limiting where the student population can go. The multi-family units are older than some newer developments so prices have to remain competitive but are typically mostly leased out. This area is serviced by Southwood Valley Elementary and A&M Consolidated High School.
