Yes, but it really all depends on what you like, what you think is nice, and so on. But Indian Lakes is very nice.

I would probably move out to Millican Reserve if I wanted to get out of town. It will be years before it's in the City of CS. I look for Indian Lakes to be in the city within a decade.
I would consider out to King Oaks also as the homes are all nice and the area is quiet and the property taxes are considerable less.
I believe 1/3 is.ElephantRider said:
Isn't most of Millican Reserve in Navasota ISD?
The utility district tax makes King Oaks a little higher than In Lakes. Total of 2.25% versus 1.75%.ukbb2003 said:woodiewood1 said:

You make up for the property taxes with the MUD tax.
Some IL solds for the past year.maddiedou said:
And that is crazy 150-200 an acre and they offer nothing more than a piece of land
Not in B/CS, but I like my cabin up in the Rist Canyon just west of Fort Collins.FAT SEXY said:
If I was more well off financially, this area would be my #1 place to build in around B/CS.
So damn nice out here.. big props to whoever developed it.

I didn't think King Oaks has MUD taxes. The real estate listings for houses for sale out there say no MUD.
The housing/land inflation is crazy. I bought a 1.43 acre lot in IL in 2014 for 63k/acre. Felt expensive then.woodiewood1 said:Some IL solds for the past year.maddiedou said:

Rough calculation says $168,000 placed in the SP500 in January 2010 would be worth about $800k today.woodiewood1 said:About the best long term investment there is in good location land in College Station and area.MemphisAg1 said:The housing/land inflation is crazy.

We purchased our home in 2010 for $168,000 and was appraised in Dec 2020 for $496,000. Crazy. My children love that!

At what tax rate did you figure in your rough calculation?b0ridi said:Rough calculation says $168,000 placed in the SP500 in January 2010 would be worth about $800k today.woodiewood1 said:About the best long term investment there is in good location land in College Station and area.MemphisAg1 said:The housing/land inflation is crazy.

That's true, but whether you own and pay property taxes or pay the landlord's property taxes in the rent, unless you live in a travel trailer and live in the city parks and various parking lots, can't get away from property taxes.maddiedou said:
Well your 120,000 in taxes also brings that down
I have no clue what your taxes are that was just a guess for 11 years
Indian Lakes entry is from Hwy 6 and is as good a road as needed and no congestion on the feeder road now.. I suppose there will be commercial built in the future north and south of the entrance, but would not affect the homes in IL. Ind Lakes is very good but land is extremely expensive.Tumble Weed said:
I didn't buy in Indian Lakes because I was concerned about the quality of the roads getting out there and my kids were about to start driving. I would imagine that the sprawl has increased the issues. I bought my house in 2011.
Now I wish that I would have bought anyway. Just need more space from my neighbors. Been looking at King Oaks since the kids are out of school now.
That's what we did but in the Hysterical neighborhood. We are only one of two houses connected to Brison Park and within site of Kyle Field. We have five acres of woods in our east and south sides...we live 450 feet from campus and live in the woods! As you mentioned, I live being five minutes to most everything we go to and also able to walk to A&M sports.Donny Hall said:
I prefer older estate houses. College Park / Brison Park on historic southgate side. Also N Rosemary in Bryan are my favs.
I don't like having to drive faster than 40 or more than 5 minutes to anything - thats why I live on some acreage next to University preserve in the middle of town.
