Goodfellow AFB blends mission-focused energy with an easygoing West Texas lifestyle, placing you minutes from the amenities of San Angelo and the wide-open spaces of Tom Green County. The installation is home to the Goodfellow Air Force Base community and the renowned 17th Training Wing, drawing service members and civilians from across the services and creating a supportive, tight-knit environment. Daily life feels streamlined, with short commutes, plentiful dining in town, and a calendar full of base and city events.
Families appreciate educational options anchored by the San Angelo Independent School District, which offers robust academics, career and technical programs, and strong fine arts and athletics. Higher education is close at hand at Angelo State University, a research-active campus known for nursing, security studies, and business—great for continuing education or a spouse’s degree plan.
Weekends practically write themselves: hike, bike, or fish at San Angelo State Park, enjoy sunsets over Lake Nasworthy, or stroll the Concho River Walk and downtown’s murals, galleries, and locally owned restaurants. Healthcare, shopping, and everyday services are convenient, and the regional airport and major highways simplify travel for TDYs, visiting family, or quick getaways.
Whether you’re PCSing in or planting longer-term roots, the area offers strong value and a welcoming community. When it’s time to buy or sell, Agent Pronto can connect you with a top local real estate pro who knows the base, the market, and the best fit for your goals.
