About Student Housing in Nacogdoches
Nacogdoches, TX bills itself as the oldest town in Texas, a small Piney Woods city wrapped around Stephen F. Austin State University and its roughly 11,000 students. The whole place runs at a college-town pace, with red brick streets and a downtown historic district that's listed on the National Register. SFA sits just east of that core, so students drift easily between campus, the North Street corridor of shops, and the square. The setting is the selling point here: pine forest everywhere, the Lanana Creek Trail tracing an old Indian footpath, Banita Creek Park, and the Ruby M. Mize Azalea Garden, the largest in the state, blooming on campus each spring. The Azalea Trail and the year-round Saturday farmers market on Pearl Street give the town its rhythm.
