If so, what's considered to be the better part of town from a residential standpoint?

Bridle ridge, colony creek, vista cove is very quaint, and the ball airport area is shaping up nicely. Call Jimmy Zaplac at cold well banker for more detailed information.

Ball Airport Rd area= Terra Vista.

My parents are in terra vista and they like it. We just moved to deer chase and love it. There are some nice older parts of town but there are some bad older parts of town. I would say a general rule of thumb is airline and north and Sam Houston east. Those are the nicer newer parts of town. Quail creek is nice too and also doesn't have city taxes.

However there are several nice neighborhoods that break that rule.

What about the area north of 463 and west of 77?

That can be a very good area, but there can be some iffy places. Which neighborhood?

A word of warning and preparedness, have all of your ducks in a row and be ready to make a decision on the fly. Houses are selling in 2-3 days.

Feel free to email me if you have any questions.

I have a really solid realtor here that has sold me two houses and sold one for me if you are interested as well.

My brother listed his house in Cimarron on a Friday morning and it was under contract that same Friday at Noon. There is a major housing boom in Victoria right now thanks to the oil and gas boom. Seven is right about having your ducks in a row.

What about the area around Victoria college and U of H Victoria?

This would only be for a 4 month stay in Victoria. not a permanent move.

That area is fairly average. Those houses are slightly older but not really old. Not real sure about the type of people that live over there but the houses aren't too bad

Agree with seven.

Call Jimmy Zapalac. Best realtor in Victoria.

I live in Quail Creek and I love it out there.

Beaming with pride as I read Seven's answers. Look at you becoming a Victoria local now! I didn't know y'all moved though. That's awesome, good for y'all!

For the OP, I grew up around Quail Creek, and my parents still live there. You really can't go wrong out that way.

Heath! Come back home and see us! We miss you
