Actual Houses in an Active Neighborhood for Texas A&M Students. We have 8 parks, 13+ miles of paved sidewalks and running trails, private parking, walk-in closets, large open floor plans, and so much more. If you have a dog in college, you need to live at The Barracks! It's a pet paradise with large grass backyards, 2 dog parks, and 2 swimming ponds. All Barracks residents (or as we like to call them, Townhomies) also get exclusive-access to The Cove, a members-only pool & day club!
