McAllen Texas is the fastest growing city in the lower Rio Grande Valley, a centerpoint for shopping, arts, and real estate, and a tourist attraction positioned only a few miles from Mexico near South Padre Island. McAllen boasts the widest range of available homesites and housing opportunities in the Valley, which translates into an expanding, competitive environment for home buyers--more choices and better value for the money.
The Lower Rio Grande Valley area is nationally known for its natural habitats and geological beauty. Stretching along the Mexican border and the Rio Grande River down to the Gulf of Mexico, the Valley has long been the destination of vacationers and winter residents who migrate to the Valley because of its neo-tropical weather. A prime birding location, the Valley is peppered with nature centers and trails, museums and historic landmarks.
A thriving economy located within a few miles of Mexico means big business for small companies and chains alike, giving diversity to the shopping experience in McAllen and surrounding areas. And you won't find better food anywhere else in Texas, especially Mexican food--the Valley is the place for a truly unique dining experience with a decidedly hispanic flavor.
The center of valley entertainment, the McAllen Convention Center draws scores of concerts, plays, and musicals every year, contributing to McAllen's already rich cultural heritage and art scene. McAllen's new International Museum of Arts and Science blend the modern art of McAllen's young culture with the city's vintage appeal.
Whether you are looking for an exquisite restaurant or a hip art shop you will find that the Valley is unsurpassed in diversity and opportunity. A great place to make a home, raise a family, or start a business, or all three, McAllen is truly a beautiful place, an excellent investment, and a home you will want to keep.
