Windover East, a community that lies within the borders of Bryan, Texas, is both an attractive and practical living option for those who are considering taking up residence in this part of the city.
Bryan’s beginnings were humble. In the 19th century, the Houston and Texas Railway system was making its presence known in the area. Suddenly, a new mode of transportation was available to average citizens. Astute businessman William Joel Bryan donated a one-square-mile tract of land to the railway directors. Perhaps he had a premonition regarding the future of the metro area he established, and for whom it is named. Through the years, that small tract has evolved into 43 square miles.
Windover East, an integral part of the metro area, provides both an aesthetic and practical option for residents, as a variety of attractions are within a short driving distance.
The Bush Presidential Library and Museum, which provides a personal glimpse into Bush Sr.’s tenure as a public servant, is five miles away. Area residents can often catch a glimpse of national and international dignitaries who come to the area for the sole purpose of visiting the museum.
The community is an ideal setting for nature lovers. It’s just shy of two miles from the Brazos Valley Museum of Natural History, which strives to stimulate an understanding of Texas wildlife and vegetation, and the synergistic relationship between both. Hiking and biking trails abound throughout Bryan’s environs, capitalizing on the majestic beauty of east Texas.
Residents of Windover East do not have to forfeit one type of amenity for another — they have the best of all possible worlds.
