Alvin is a great place to live, because of the feeling of home you get in every store or supermarket you step in. It is a quaint little town that is growing with every passing year. I love how the bluebonnet flowers grow all along Hwy 35 when they are in season. There is also a winter festival that happens every year which brings the community together. You get a sense of home grown in this town. I had moved to San Marcos for schooling and found myself moving back to Alvin, because no one was as friendly and I missed the short commute from country to city. I love how there is a HUGE open sky that is full of stars and the fact that you can lay a blanket down and just watch them at night. The city does not have a star in sight compared to living in Alvin. The neighbors are people that when you leave out of town there is trust and you'll find your home exactly as you left it. I believe that Alvin has so much to offer in such a small, beautiful town. It is a place I love to call HOME!
I moved from Houston,Texas to Alvin,Texas when I was 8 year old to a small ranch on the outsides of the town of Alvin. I was used to the tall buildings and the loud sound of cars and the bright city lights and many other things. When I first came to Alvin my first impression was on why was everything so small antique . In my mind since they weren't any tall buildings with nice bright lights my believe that the place was an old ghost-town. When I started exploring my town more and more I realized I loved everything about it. There are many things that make Alvin unique and one of them is Frobers Farm. Its a huge farm that cultivates all kids of fruits and flowers depending on the season people go all the times of the years to take pictures and go pick up fruit to purchase and take home organic products . Its a beautiful to spend time with family and friends.
What I like about Alvin is my school. Nice teachers and fun friends who relate to me. But here are some flaws or changes that need to be changed. Police don't catch the ones who are breaking the law, jobs or communities overlook desperate applicants, and new buildings are being built over precious open fields due to over-population. Basically, it's turning into a city which it wasn't before.
