Rio Grande Valley, TX
Located in South Texas, the four-county region, commonly called the Valley, is one of the fastest-growing regions in Texas and the United States. With three airports, and warm tropical weather year-round (close to South Padre Island), the Valley is a multicultural and largely bilingual community. Residents enjoy myriad employment opportunities, several shopping districts, and numerous healthcare, retirement, and higher education institutions.
With year-round sunshine, tropical breezes, and little rainfall, the weather is a key draw to the area, making it ideal for those who enjoy the beach and calm waters of South Padre Island. The Valley offers an abundance of wildlife and outdoor activities, including world-class bird watching, great golf courses, and several National Parks to explore. Additionally, the Valley is a magnet for an elderly Northern American population who want to spend their winters in an affordable and tropical environment. And, Texas has no state income tax!
The Valley offers a high quality of life with a low cost of living. Residents spend less than the national median sale price on home purchases and less than the national average on everyday expenses like food, transportation, and healthcare. These qualities, along with the area's relaxed pace of life, safe neighborhoods, and welcoming communal environment, make the region a wonderful place to live and raise a family.
