A quiet yet ever-growing city
Los Fresnos, which is Spanish for “ash trees,” is a relatively quiet city in Cameron County with plenty of fun packed into a small space. The area played a role in the US-Mexican War and the American Civil War but only became an official city in 1915. Los Fresnos offers multiple parks and great schools right next to a thriving commercial area that is only a quick drive from local homes and the rodeo. “A lot of people have been here for years, so everyone knows everyone,” says Nidiann Beck, a recent transplant to the area who has watched this city grow over many visits since she was young.
Classic ranch styles and new subdivisions
Much like the Los Fresnos neighborhood itself, the housing market is an ever-growing part of the area. Homes are typically newly constructed ranch-styles in brand-new subdivisions. These homes go for around $165,000 for a three-bedroom and $400,000 for a four- or five-bedroom house. Residences are matched with backyards allowing an easy escape to country living with nature steps away. This is partially because the neighborhood is 20-30 miles from larger cities, so it can get very quiet in the area when off the main road. This allows for a more serene living space compared to other locations in the county.

Friday Night Falcon Football
Los Fresnos Consolidated Independent School District (LFCISD) works hard to ensure its students excel physically and academically. Students begin their journey at Lopez-Riggins Elementary School from preschool to fifth grade, which scores a B-plus on Niche. Students then move on to Los Cuates Middle School, one of the three oldest campuses in the area, which earns a B. The A-minus-rated Los Fresnos High School is the last stop for students, and it places an emphasis on family engagement and plays host to the Friday night lights of the area with Falcon Football.
Los Fresnos High School first opened its doors in 1992 and is conveniently located on FM 1847.
A quick trip to Brownsville
Like many Texas neighborhoods, Los Fresnos locals typically opt to drive everywhere. Interstate 100 offers residents quick access to Brownsville and Port Isabel, which are about 20 miles away. Valley International Airport is a 20-mile drive away and offers flights all around Texas or as far north as Minnesota. For medical care, Harlingen Medical Center is only a 15-mile drive away for locals.

Baked treats and fresh cuts
There are a variety of dining options in Los Fresnos. Julias Restaurant is a beloved local eatery, providing quality Latin American food that makes it popular even in neighboring cities like Brownsville. Locals can also pick up a sweet treat like homemade donuts from Abby’s Bakery, one of three local bakeries in the area. For the weekly kitchen restock, Lopez Meat Market offers fresh cuts to locals, or they can head 1 mile from the city center to the Walmart Supercenter.

Exciting playtime and lush hikes
The three main parks in Los Fresnos provide many hours of fun for families and friends alike. The largest of these parks is City Park, which hosts the Little League program and a skate park. Memorial Park has the city’s pool and plenty of space to beat the summer heat. Nature Park is chock-full of trails and local plants and “is home to multiple events, like the annual Earth Day celebration,” says Angie Lugo, Library Director of the Ethel L. Whipple Memorial Library.

Markets and Rodeos
Residents head down to the Los Fresnos Rodeo Grounds for most local events. The area provides annual rodeos that most of the community attends, and they take place every February. The grounds also have concerts and monthly markets where food and art vendors can sell their wares to excited residents. “It seems to be the gathering place for community,” says Beck. There will also be a 1986 time capsule next to the library that will be unearthed in 2036 for the local bicentennial celebration.
