We are constantly looking to make landownership in Hidalgo County not only possible, but also easy for those thinking it’s impossible.
Why Hidalgo County? From the robust nightlife of McAllen or a day of splurging at the Rio Grande Valley Premium Outlets in Mercedes, wherever you are in Hidalgo County, you’ll always able to find something fun and exciting to do! As one of the fastest growing cities in the nation and the eighth-most populated in the State of Texas, you would be crazy not to be part of it all. What’s great about living in this thriving county is experiencing all the wonders each of its cities has to offer!
McAllen
With an amazing active nightlife, McAllen is at the forefront of the Rio Grande Valley. With its captivating new Convention Center, this city is a popular destination for people from all over the world. With too many events and locations to count, including the popular McAllen Marathon and McAllen Food Park, this city also hosts a number of other great places to enjoy with your family, including:
- International Museum of Art & Science (IMAS)
- Quinta Mazatlan Nature and Birding Center
- McAllen Nature Park
- McAllen Convention Center
- Cine El Rey
- La Plaza Mall
- Several more shopping plazas
Mercedes
Every year, thousands of residents and visitors from all over rush to the Mercedes Livestock Show. Complete with a huge carnival, great entertainment, rodeo and food, during spring break everyone knows that the place to be at is the livestock show. And if you’re not too tired from all of the festivities, you can also enjoy the great deals at the Rio Grande Valley Premium Outlets!
Mission
Often recognized as the home of legends such as Tom Landry and “Home of the Ruby Red Grapefruit”, Mission is definitely where great things originate. You can grab your binoculars and view the most spectacular collection of birds on earth with more than 525 species documented at the Bentsen-Rio Grande Valley State Park. Or you can flutter among the butterflies at the National Butterfly Center. The Center showcases live animals and plants in wild and nurtured settings while also including educational exhibits for understanding and appreciation.
Pharr
With Main Events Entertainment, a new Cinemark Movie Theater and their Aquatic Center, Pharr has become one of the best destinations for fun, shopping and culture! As populations boom alongside a bigger economic influx, the City of Pharr is thriving by bringing in new and exciting businesses to the Rio Grande Valley.
Edinburg
Home of the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley and the Hidalgo County Courthouse, the City of Edinburg has a small town feel, yet all of the big town fun. Edinburg hosts a number of great events throughout the year, including the South Texas Film Festival, various art exhibits and the All-America City 10k Run/Walk and Fun Run! Through Edinburg Arts, a division of the Edinburg Library, the city is able to also provide programs and events that promote the arts and culture of the Rio Grande Valley.
Alamo
Established in 1943 for the protection of migratory birds, the Santa Ana National Wildlife Refuge is a 2,088-acre area in Alamo that offers visitors an opportunity to see birds, butterflies and many other species that can only be found in Deep South Texas. With many great activities, such as taking an open-air tram ride or joining a guided nature walk, Alamo’s Santa Ana National Wildlife Refuge is a big attraction in this small enjoyable town.
Fun Everywhere
We understand that a great place to live is only great if it’s close to all of the things you love and enjoy. And with so many great cities in Hidalgo County, the fun never has to stop! From bowling at Main Event in Pharr to enjoying the nightlife in McAllen, or attending a theatre event hosted by Edinburg Arts, living in the Rio Grande Valley has something for everyone!
And the fun doesn’t just end there. The beach is just a short distance away! Although not apart of Hidalgo County, South Padre Island does offer lots of fun in the sun with its 34 miles of beautiful white sandy beaches. SPI is one of the world’s most exquisite barrier islands and the most popular one in Texas! With the Rio Grande Valley’s great weather year-round, you can even enjoy the beach during Christmas!
A nearby beach, nightlife, city events and opportunities to enjoy nature? This is the reason why making a home in Hidalgo County is one of the best decisions ever.
