This single-floor residence offers a thoughtfully designed open-concept layout that seamlessly connects the living, dining, and kitchen areas. Light-toned luxury vinyl plank flooring runs throughout, lending a cohesive, clean aesthetic to the entire space. The kitchen is a functional highlight, featuring sage-toned shaker-style cabinetry, stainless steel appliances including a refrigerator, range, and microwave, and a peninsula with pendant lighting overhead. A white countertop surface provides ample prep space, while a built-in dishwasher adds convenience. The living area accommodates comfortable furnishings beneath a ceiling fan, with natural light filtering through window treatments. Adjacent to the living space, a defined dining area sits near an in-unit laundry closet housing a full-size washer and dryer, with additional utility storage above. The primary bedroom benefits from large windows that invite natural light and features light-wood flooring, ample wall space, and access to a walk-in closet. A second bedroom offers similar finishes with a dedicated closet and space for a work area. The bathroom includes a tub-shower combination with tiled surround, a vanity with storage cabinetry, and matching wood-look flooring, completing the unit's consistent and polished interior design.

San Marcos sits right on the I-35 corridor between Austin and San Antonio, and that geography shapes almost everything about living here. The city grew up around the spring-fed San Marcos River, one of the oldest continuously inhabited sites in the Americas, and that deep sense of place still runs through the culture. Texas State University anchors the local economy and gives the city a steady pulse year-round, drawing researchers, educators, and students who settle into neighborhoods that spread well beyond the campus edge.
From the walkable blocks surrounding the Hays County Courthouse Square to the quieter garden-style communities near Wonder World Drive and Purgatory Creek, San Marcos offers real neighborhood variety across its 40 square miles. Renters will find a broad mix of options, including loft-style apartments downtown, apartment communities near the river corridor, and roomier townhome-style rentals toward the city's outer edges.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
