Andrew Killingsworth - San Angelo Real Estate

In the next few posts I will be doing an in-depth analysis of San Angelo neighborhoods. In our market, areas of the city are designated with letters. In part one we will be looking at Area A which includes Southland and Twin Oaks neighborhoods. Here is a bit of stats for the area:

In no particular order:

1. The Weather: San Angelo has a mild climate for most of the year. We've got what some have deemed the ten month summer. Today January 6, 2008 it is 78 degrees outside with a cool breeze. Occasional snowfall in the winter gives you the traditional feeling of the season but mostly between 40-60 degrees all winter. Bring a fan and a cool water bottle in the summer as the temperature does rise to triple digits sometimes. But a good airconditioner and glass of iced tea can cure the heat in no time.

2. The People: San Angeloans are as friendly as they come. It's not unusual to get a wave from pedestrians or someone holding the door for you at convenience stores. Conversation is never scarce at a local bar or restaurant. All around good folks here in San Angelo.

3. The Food: San Angelo is a host to many MANY great restaurants. The main fair is Tex-Mex, Burgers, and Steak but we have some exotic selections as well. Henry's diner, Fuentes downtown, Chilangos, Los Panchitos, Fernandos, Francos, Corner Stop, Diego's burritos are just a few of the many great tex-mex joints that I have deemed delicious. As for American cuisine, Zentners Daughter (Zentners is now deceased, though soon to be resurrected under a new name) Charcoal House, Bodacious BBQ, Pack Saddle, Texas Road House, Logans, Cheddars, Chilis, and Old Time Pit BBQ have some of the best barbeque and steak in town. For exotic dining you can choose from China Garden, Lin's Buffet, Bambo Garden, Nakamura Sushi Bar (that's right sushi in San Angelo!) Red Pepper, and many more. Upscale dining for the more refined taste can be found at Peasant Village, The Silo, and The River Terrace. My mouth is watering already!

4. The Nightlife: If you like fun and entertainment we have everything you need. Whether your taste is Country music, Rock and Roll, Latin, or even Heavy Metal or Rockabilly, there is a music venue here for you. Country music plays all night at Grahams Central Station, the Coachman, and Blaines. Rock and Roll enthusiasts will get a kick out of Steel Penny Pub, Oasis, The Deadhorse, and several others. Tejano and Cumbia can be found at Grahams, the Roxy, and others.

Last but certainly not least,

5. The market: San Angelo's real estate market has been isolated from nationwide downturns. Our housing prices have steadily increased by 2-4% yearly in most areas of town. If you are looking to invest, buy your first home, or retire, you can rest assured that with proper maintenance and care, your home should hold its value for resale.
