    Football, College Towns, Affordable Homes... Oh, My!

    Texas Triangle top-ranked in college football and affordable homes

    Real estate agency Coldwell Banker has cleverly ranked college towns based not only on average home price for a 2,200 square foot home but also in terms of BCS standings. Texas performs well along both axes.

    Fort Worth and Houston are highlighted as having football-teams-to-watch this year, currently ranked in the BCS top 25 standings, and also being front-runners for home buyers:

    • Fort Worth, Texas (Texas Christian University), $153,450
    • Houston, Texas (University of Houston), $159,847
    • Cincinnati, Ohio (University of Cincinnati), $189,750
    • Boise, Idaho (Boise State University), $215,432
    • Iowa City, Iowa (University of Iowa), $217,500
    The following Texas Triangle towns are ranked as being in the top 10 most affordable college markets:

    -5th Fort Worth....Texas Christian University....$153,450
    -7th Denton..........University of North Texas....$154,900
    -8th Houson..........Rice & Univ. of Houston.....$159,847


    A further 110 more college towns are ranked by Coldwell. Below are the other Lonestar college towns on the list. (Aggies will note they edged out UT by a mere $142):

    -17th Lubbock.........Texas Tech University...$175,225
    -38th Waco.............Baylor University.............$201,000
    -52nd El Paso..........UT - El Paso.....................$218,000
    -58th Coll. Station...Texas A&M.....................$226,500
