About College
Heights
College Heights, located between U.S. 90 and Veterans Blvd, is a residential and campus-adjacent Del Rio neighborhood with mid-century ranch homes and wide, shade-lined streets. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Sul Ross State University Rio Grande College campus along Veterans Blvd, where weekday foot traffic and school-day rhythms set the pace. Stucco and brick facades, low-slung rooflines, and generous driveways give the blocks a tidy, practical look. San Felipe Creek’s green corridor and nearby park space add a breezy, outdoors-forward feel. Local staples like Blue Oasis, Brown Bag, and the Whitehead Memorial Museum help anchor off-hours routines beyond the classroom.
