Las Milpas Townhome for Sale

Las Milpas, a small community in Pharr, Texas, is situated near the Mexico border and between San Juan and McAllen in the Rio Grande Valley. The area has seen significant growth, driven by binational trade via the Pharr–Reynosa International Bridge. McAllen, just 9 miles away, is a major shopping hub with attractions like La Plaza Mall and the largest one-story library in the country, which hosts a Saturday farmer’s market. Las Milpas features a mix of mid-20th-century homes and newer single-story traditional-style houses, often with Mediterranean influences. Recreational options include Jones Box Park, which has a playground, splash pad, and athletic fields, and hosts events like an Independence Day Festival and movie nights. Birding is popular due to the migration corridor for over 400 species of birds and butterflies. Local dining options include Snack Stop Diner and Big G Grocery & Meat Market, while shopping centers like Las Tiendas Shopping Center offer stores like Costco and Target. The community is served by Valley View Independent School District and Pharr-San Juan-Alamo School District, which provide free broadband internet for students. Safety in Las Milpas is comparable to the national average, and the area benefits from McAllen’s high standards for public services and infrastructure maintenance.
