Apartments for Rent in Hughson Heights & Northwest San Marcos, TX
Northwest of campus toward Craddock and the hills, on the quieter side of the city. More established than the student belt and more residential in feel, with a mix of older garden communities and small newer builds on tree-shaded streets. Close enough to campus for a five-minute drive, far enough that the semester does not set the tone of the neighborhood. Purgatory Creek Natural Area and its trail system are the local amenity people actually use.
