The Place To Live: Texas College Towns
By John Askins



Three Texas cities are among the top ten most affordable college towns in the country, according to Coldwell Banker’s 2009 Home Price Comparison Index (HPCI).

The annual College HPCI provides a comparison of similarly sized 2,200-sf, four-bedroom, two-and-a-half bathroom homes in college markets within the 120 football bowl subdivision schools.

Fort Worth, home of Texas Christian University, ranked fifth with an average home price of $153,450.

Denton, with the University of North Texas, ranked seventh for its $154,900 average home price.

Houston, which has Rice University and the University of Houston, ranked eighth with an average home price of $159,847.

As for the rest of the state, Lubbock, home to Texas Tech ranked 17th; Waco, home to Baylor, 38th; El Paso and UTEP, 52nd; College Station, 58th; Austin, 59th; and Dallas, 101st.
