Tropical, suburban living near Mexico
The West End Brownsville neighborhood is a relatively affordable area situated near the United States and Mexico border. “It’s a popular spot for winter Texans: those who come from northern states for part of the year for the warm weather,” says Connie Uribe, broker and owner at Realty One Group Modern Edge. Uribe has 6 years of sales experience in Brownsville, and says, “It’s the coastal, tropical weather with a low cost of living that brings people here.” Another driving factor for settling down in this neighborhood is the employment opportunity with the Brownsville Independent School District. The school district is the largest employer in the Rio Grande Valley and brings students and educators to the area. Because of its proximity to the Mexico border, West End Brownsville is also recognized for its many authentic taco eateries. With quick access to Interstate 69, West End Brownsville residents are connected to the whole valley and beyond, but can experience a quieter, slower-paced lifestyle in a sunny suburbia at a relatively affordable cost.
