GRAND OPENING
This Saturday and Sunday
1 O a.m. until dark
Just two minutes from the
university, we’re building a
new neighborhood for Texas
A&M students, their parents
and alumni. It’s called Mill
Creek and it’s priced in the
$40s. In University Park, one of
the area’s newest subdivisions,
Mill Creek is close enough to
the campus for anyone to walk
or bike. Mill Creek is nestled
next to woods and a College
Station park, convenient to all
major thoroughfares, yet just
away from the hustle and
bustle of the main campus.
Mill Creek was planned for
busy student life. In every
home, we’ve included ameni
ties to make student life easier
and to keep your Mill Creek
home a valuable investment.
But, we’ve remembered to
keep living at Mill Creek a lot of
fun. Lofts in every home.
Skylights or clerestory win
dows let in lots of light. Cathe
dral ceilings, spacious living/
dining areas and plenty of
storage space. Outside, you’ll
enjoy the pool and barbecue
pits. Each home has a patio.
Mill Creek is professionally
managed, so someone else
worries about taking care of it
all.
Why not visit Mill Creek? We
can tell you about our favor
able financing, the tax advan
tages of ownership, our quality
of design and construction
and much more. Best of all,
you can see for yourself how
you can be at college and still
be right at home.
