Town in Texas
Current Resident: The city of Mission is a safe and quiet town. It is also one of the cheapest places to live in the US, and affordability can be incredibly charming! Our main streets and highways are well-funded and clean, and they are always under some new reconstruction project happening. We also have great shopping districts. However, there is not much in the entertainment department for the younger generations here, and nothing promotes walkability. There are a couple of locations for all to enjoy, such as movie theaters and the occasional skating rink, but I would like to see a more diverse environment with a push for public transportation. Placing more focus on these things could be a great start! Overall, Mission is an amazing place to live for all the things they have to offer, but like any place, improvement is always welcome....

Harmony Public Schools - West Texas, TX•
K-12
Senior: In my 12 years attending Harmony School of Innovation, I am very satisfied with the education I gained from there. I was given opportunities to gain college credit, and they exemplified student college readiness through the courses and rules they practice. The culture is quite diverse, however, in regards to music, sports, and art, it's not very well resourced or funded. Additionally, it's quite a small school, so it's common for many of the students to know one another leading to a good school culture, and the teachers have an easier chance at helping students who they see need it, since they know many of them. Overall, it's a good school, and I recommend it to anyone.... Read 32 reviews

Current Resident: 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.... Read 402 reviews

Although it does not have many of the activities and entertainment in Edinburg/McAllen, it is a great middle ground between there and Harlingen; about the same distance (20-30 minutes) both ways depending on traffic.

Current Resident: I like that Elsa is close community and that joins together in times of need. It is a small community with near by schools. We are very lucky to have an HEB as well as a Walmart. It is peaceful and welcoming. People from other smaller cities such as Raymondville and La Villa also come to Elsa for their shopping needs. Even though it is considered a small city, it is well equipped with tire shops to pharmacies. Elsa also provides opportunities for small business owners to grow and empower the community. It continue to grows and provide job related opportunities as well for the residents. If you like the city or country living, Elsa provides both areas of choice, while still being able to be a few minutes away from the shopping areas. Elsa is a midpoint location for many other visitors and they enjoy our local and fast food restaurants after a game or an event. Elsa is a great place to live and would recommend it to anyone who enjoys a small friendly knit community.... Read 17 reviews

Current Resident: This town is far away from the city limits, and is almost an 1hr away from the border of Mexico. They do have parks and there ranches that are pretty neat to see. People ride on their horses once I a while with a beer on their hand, and for those who don't drink alcohol the have a Coca-Cola glass bottle. Behind my backyard there is a ranch with horses,which I like to see. Especially when the owners like to train their horses or do exercise with them like playing polo. I really don't know much about that game but I enjoy seeing the horses run on the green grass. In general I really like horses I loved to ride on one, one day.... Read 52 reviews

Current Resident: I have lived in this small rural town for about 9-10 years and it has been very pleasant to be there. The town consist of two corner stores, one small restaurant, a decent sized park, an elementary, middle, and early college high school, and a detention center next to the elementary (don't worry is it the place is closely monitored 24/7). The community always has something going on for holidays and there are clubs where little kids can participate in sports. Admittedly, I had only attended school there from 3rd to the first semester of 7th grade before I transferred over to Weslaco so I can't say a lot about the education system now. However, when I was there, the public school really seemed to be lagging behind. For being one of the top students there, transferring over gave me a rude awakening on how behind I actually was. That is the only complaint I have with the town but things could have changed since I have last attended school there.... Read 5 reviews

The teachers are also exceptional. I was able to have extremely meaningful and informative discussions with my teachers after school. The Highlands School is great for deep thinkers. We often talked and debated about the most serious philosophical and theological topics throughout history. There is a strong Catholic presence in the school. We had weekly mass, and we prayed before every class. I definitely recommend The Highlands School.... Read 102 reviews
