The neighborhood surrounds the country club and golf course
Almost 8 miles north of downtown Laredo, the neighborhood of Plantation consists mostly of the Laredo Country Club and its 18-hole course. “Things are booming here,” says Maria Calderon-Porter, a resident of Laredo. “We’re like a big city, but we’re not.” Laredo has continued to spread north, with new subdivisions stretching the reach of the city. New jobs are also being created. Residents often move in to open a business. “When it comes to supporting the dramatic pace of consumerism,” says Calderon-Porter, “the support is there.” Plantation is within 5 miles of several shopping centers and the city is continually building new commercial areas north of the neighborhood. The Country Club, once on the edge of Laredo, has now been encompassed by the neighborhood, as homes and subdivisions were built surrounding the golf course.

Spanish Colonial homes overlooking the golf course
The neighborhood contains New Traditional, Spanish Colonial and contemporary homes, although Spanish Colonial is by far the most common, followed by contemporary and then New Traditional. New Traditional homes range in price from $365,000 to $500,000, with contemporaries and Spanish Colonials ranging from around $400,000 to $1.5 million. Homeowners associations are present throughout the neighborhood, as are gated communities, but these two aspects do not define the neighborhood. Similarly, pools are common but are not present in every home. Houses have attached garages and street parking is rare. While sidewalks occasionally appear throughout Plantation, they often follow only one side of the street. Homes are larger, but tend to be closer together and have mature trees covering sections of the yard. There are many homes whose backyards overlook the golf course.
Spanish style homes with red tiles are found in west Plantation.
Spanish style homes with cupola shaped roof are found in central Plantation.
