Brenham, TX Has Something For Everyone! 4.5 rating By Anonymous ( May 16, 2018) I lived in Brenham, TX several years ago and couldn't wait to move back after I graduated college. I missed living in this beautiful place so much! My fiancee and I are planning on making Brenham our home after we are married. There's nothing NOT to love about this place: great p ...Read More eople, great schools, beautiful scenery everywhere! My fiancee will actually be able to transfer his job close to here so he won't lose out on a wonderful career. The best areas in Branham are the beautiful neighborhoods where people have colorful flower gardens and lovely homes.

One of my favorite attractions here is the Horseshoe Junction Family Fun Park where there's mini golf, go karts, and lots of other fun things to do. I'm a kid at heart! We also have Fireman's Park where there's a big playground and even a skate park!For some more adult activities we have the incredible Roux Street Cajun and Creole bar and the Pleasant Hill Winery, a fun place to go for a tour and wine-tasting. I very much recommend living in Brenham! Read Less
