About Student Housing in Commerce
Commerce, Texas sits in the rolling landscape of Hunt County about 65 miles northeast of Dallas, and its identity is shaped almost entirely by the presence of East Texas A&M University. With a population of around 9,000 people, Commerce is small enough that students dominate the social fabric of the community but large enough to have a functional set of amenities within city limits. The university campus is attractive and well-maintained, with a clear center of gravity that the surrounding neighborhoods orient themselves around, and the result is a town where students rarely feel anonymous. Local restaurants, coffee shops, and small businesses cater to the student population in ways that give Commerce more character than its size might suggest. The Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex sits within an hour's drive, which means that students who want professional events, major concerts, large shopping centers, or city-scale entertainment have a reasonable path to those things on weekends without needing to relocate their entire lives. Housing is affordable relative to Texas urban markets, the community is tight-knit, and for students seeking a focused academic environment embedded in a genuine small city, Commerce delivers a compelling combination.
Best Neighborhoods for Students in Commerce
University District
The blocks directly surrounding the East Texas A&M campus make up the most active student residential area, with apartments and rental houses within a short walk of academic buildings. Demand here is highest and units tend to lease earliest each year.
Downtown Commerce
Commerce's compact downtown sits a short distance from campus and offers a quieter residential option in the blocks surrounding the historic commercial strip. Students who want to be near local restaurants and shops without the density of a large city center often find this area appealing.
