Why Live in Santa Rosa
Life is a bit slower in Santa Rosa, and that’s how residents like it. The southern Texas town is around 20 miles from the U.S.-Mexico border and is surrounded by larger communities, making it frequently ignored by regional travelers. That isolation has only deepened the bond its nearly 2,500 residents have with one another, and they often gather at parks and cheer on community sports teams. “It’s a great place to live,” says Isaac Hinojosa, the city’s interim waterworks clerk who has spent most of his life in Santa Rosa. “Everyone knows everyone. When you see a car that you don’t recognize, you know someone new moved to town.” Mediterranean Revival-influenced homes and brick ranch-style houses sit along the city’s wide asphalt streets. The median sale price is around $200,000, well below the national median. Large parcels of land are also available for development, often ranging from $8,000 to $15,000 per acre.
