East of Edinburg, Murillo blends suburban and rural living. Dusty, two-lane roads are lined with mom-and-pop taquerias, convenience stores and sprawling working ranches. But this swath of Hidalgo County, close to interstates, malls, medical centers and the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley, is rapidly developing with suburban subdivisions. “People like it because of the schools and because of the hospitals. It has green areas, it has good restaurants, it has places to have fun, places to shop. It’s hard to pick out just one draw,” says Angela Navarrete, a Keller Williams Realtor with almost 10 years of experience working with clients in South Texas.
Murillo has easy to the major US 281 highway located nearby.
Edinburg Regional Medical Center recently underwent upgrades to it's facilities.

Working ranches and large, custom-built estates typically sell for between $750,000 and $1 million.
