Community Overview

South Texas Health System is an integrated system of care comprised of six hospitals, several freestanding emergency rooms, multiple physician practices, and a broad variety of outpatient services.

McAllen and Edinburg, TX offer a great cost of living and excellent schools. The area has a steady economy with one of the lowest unemployment rates in the country. It is only 90 minutes from the Texas Gulf Coast (South Padre Island) and has three airports in the area.

At the crossroads of the United States and Mexico, the four-county region known as the Rio Grande Valley is the third largest and one of the fastest-growing areas in Texas. Multicultural and largely bilingual, the population of the Rio Grande Valley now totals more than 1.4 million. Once reliant on agriculture and world-class nature tourism, the RGV has been transformed into a major international trade area with first-rate commercial and manufacturing facilities, as well as numerous health care, retirement, and higher education institutions.

Hidalgo has become a shopping mecca, with several districts attracting millions of visitors each year. The Valley's dynamic population and economy, injected with millions of dollars annually by Winter Texans, has led to a steady increase in employment, particularly opportunities requiring higher levels of education. Construction is taking place throughout the region, bringing thousands of jobs with the promise of sustainable economic growth and prosperity.

McAllen/Edinburg enjoys a high quality of life with a low cost of living. It is one of the least expensive metro areas to live in the nation (2nd in Kiplinger's 2019 list). Residents spend less than the national median sale price on home purchases, as well as less than the national average on everyday expenses like food, transportation, and health care. These facts, coupled with the area's relaxed pace of life, safe neighborhoods, and welcoming communal environment, make McAllen and its surrounding areas a great place to live and raise a family.

With year-round sunshine, tropical breezes, and little rainfall, the weather is another key draw to the area. Temperatures are mild throughout the year, particularly in winter, with an average high of 85.9 and low of 65.2 ideal for capturing the natural beauty of the Valley including the beaches on South Padre Island or participating in wildlife and outdoor activities like birdwatching, golfing, and more.
