I've lived in Edinburg all my life. Growing up, I participated in the Edinburg Boys and Girls Club and Edinburg Parks and Recreation athletic programs and coached Junior High Volleyball summer league teams. Edinburg has been named an All-America City twice. The growth of Edinburg is astonishing. We now have four high schools all competing at the highest classification level in TX. The new Hidalgo County courthouse is currently under construction. Many different public parks provide family leisure and reunions. The University of TX at Rio Grande Valley located in the middle of town, is considered one of the Top 10 colleges or universities in TX. The RGV Vipers of the NBA D-League, and an affiliate of the NBA's Houston Rockets, is a major attraction in town. To help combat high obesity rates, every Spring, Edinburg hosts the All-American City David Chavana 10K and Fun Run that is a tradition for locals, and a destination for world-wide runners. Edinburg is the place to be.
Growing up in Edinburg Texas was awesome, here you have access to many amenities like fast food restaurants, libraries, grocery stores, sporting good stores, and many more! You’ll have everything you need. Education is taken seriously and that’s why the Edinburg Consolidated Independent School District is at the very top of the valley rankings. What I like the most about Edinburg is that living here is pretty much affordable and everything is close by and easy to find. Also if you’re looking for a job you can get one almost anywhere, as there is many open positions, all you need to do is apply! Edinburg is family friendly and is diverse in culture.
Edinburg is a growing town part of the Rio Grande Valley. It is mostly comprised of a hispanic population. Overall, I have lived a good life here and have enjoyed living here all my life. Because our population consists mostly of hispanic people, the culture down here revolves around family. Driving down the street at night, especially in the weekends, you will hear and see many people barbequing outside or having get togethers with their family. The food here in Edinburg is also great and mostly consists of mexican food. Other than this, it is overall a great and cheap place to live.
