Los Presidentes reflects regional cross-cultural character

Los Presidentes stands is a mostly residential community within Laredo — the historic “City Under Seven Flags” founded on the Rio Grande’s northern bank in 1755. This predominantly Spanish-speaking neighborhood embodies the binational character that defines the border region. “This is a warm and inviting yet densely populated working-class community,” says Martha Wright-Martinez, Laredo native and Realtor with Coldwell Banker Ana Ochoa & Company. With its modern single-family homes built largely since 2000, Los Presidentes attracts residents who put down roots. Families gather at local parks and churches while participating in the cultural exchange that flows across the international boundary — a place where Mexican heritage and American institutions blend into Laredo’s social fabric.
