Edinburg Reviews

Edinburg is a mix of in city and outside the city. Its the best of both. If you are like me, I prefer the outside of Edinburg, mainly because of the space, less restrictions on music and parties, plus less taxes! However, you need to buy in bulk so you won’t have to be back and fourth. In city, you have everything near by but have the disadvantages such as more restrictions and more taxes.
Living in Edinburg has been a great experience. Edinburg is a close-knit community, with high-achieving schools prioritizing academics and having successes in all extracurricular activities offered. Edinburg is an awesome place to raise a family and establish a business. Edinburg also has a professional basketball team in the RGV Vipers (D-League affiliate of the Houston Rockets) and a professional soccer team in the RGV FC Toros. Edinburg is also home to many 5K and 10K runs as health and fitness is a lifelong goals for the city. One can't go wrong in wanting to visit and eventually establish residency here in Edinburg.
The city is wonderful yet there are some iffy concerns. The people are diverse which brings opportunities to many different individuals and many different chances to start a new career, job, or even family. What really doesn’t put Edinburg at the top, in my opinion, is that the roads are not all in perfect condition and construction to fix and repair them are not that quick. The street I live on has had pot holes for a long while and they are poorly patched and still some remain. Some roads are with the top layer torn off and have yet to be repaved and finished. The neighbor across the street from where I live barely got a well constructed street of their own. I nearly got hit by a car crossing an elementary. Can you imagine what could have happened if a child ran next to me at the time? They would have gotten hit if they did ir if they were in position scared and frightened.
