Edinburg is a growing town, with a dominantly Hispanic/Latinx population. Many of the events of the city, therefore, center around celebrating that culture and around being family friendly. There are a good number of parks, sports fields, lakes, and splash pads for recreation, although there are few healthy restaurants, and far too many fast food chains. The lack of a consistent presence of sidewalks, and the fact that bus travel is harder to access and quite inextensive, makes travel difficult for those without cars. The area is very safe, and most nights the streets become almost devoid of cars after 10:30. The quality of public schools vary, but the city focuses a lot of funding on its schools. Drainage is an issue, with some areas very vulnerable to flooding in hard rains. It doesn't have any large company or government HQs, and some industries don't have any jobs, but many new businesses and houses are popping up, so we are in a time of growth. Living here is very affordable.
I have lived in Edinburg now for thirteen years, and I can proudly call Edinburg... "Home". Edinburg has seen tremendous growth from businesses, schools, and newly developed subdivisions.
My wife and her family are from Edinburg and none of them have any plans of leaving.
Edinburg along with Mission, McAllen, and Pharr have become one huge metroplex. Thus allowing for growth in all directions.
Edinburg is a proud city, as it has been named an All-America City three times by the National Civic League.

I love Edinburg. I have attended school here my entire life. Most of the teachers in Edinburg and McAllen seem to love their jobs, and are always willing to help their students. There is not a lot of places to shop, but there is a mall on the south side of town, and it doesnt take too long to drive there. The traffic has gotten worse over the years, but it seems like the city is always building new roads to help fix the problem. There is a lot of sports for kids to participate in, it seems like everyone really loves socccer and football. Both Mcallen and Edinburg have really good Parks and Rec centers where kids can take classes. There are traditiona schools, and lots of different options with charter schools. There are several new Idea schools along with South Texas ISD. South Texas ISD has several high schools that are highly rated locally and state wide. In conclusion, Edinburg is a great city to live in.
