El Trece, a neighborhood just north of downtown Laredo, is primarily residential with a mix of single-family and multi-family homes, including Spanish-style houses and bungalows. The area features a combination of carports, garages, and on-street parking, with sidewalks that vary in size. Public spaces like Bruni Plaza Public Library and La Ladrillera Recreation Center are notable, with the latter offering free membership for seniors and amenities like a playground and basketball court. Local businesses along San Bernardo Avenue and Santa Maria Avenue, such as Narvaez Flowers & Gift Shop and Tortilleria La Fe, provide everyday conveniences, while the Outlet Shoppes at Laredo, located half a mile south, offers over 50 clothing stores.
