Mostly renters call this Laredo neighborhood home
Along grid-patterned streets that alternate between flat and hilly are cramped lots accented by large oaks, towering palm trees and weeping willows. Sidewalks are inconsistent and as narrow as Las Lomas' roads. There is street parking, although most properties have driveways and carports. Homes were primarily built between 1955 and 1995. They vary from one-story, three-to-four-bedroom residences to multifamily apartment buildings or several units packed on one lot. According to Ana Reyna Arzate, Marketing Coordinator for the Laredo Convention and Visitors Bureau and 20-year resident of Laredo, Las Lomas is one of the oldest parts of the whole city. Most residents living in these established homes are renters. Las Lomas mainly consists of rental properties as the rental investment business becomes more mainstream. Porches, patios and cabanas are common, along with wrought-iron security bars and front lawns framed by chain-link or iron fences. Some have been recently renovated, while others may need repairs and upgrades. Some properties are under 1,000 or over 4,500 square feet, but most are between 1,300 and 2,500.
