Harlingen, Texas…Right Place – Right Time!

Harlingen, Texas…a great place in which to live, work visit and invest.  Located in the center of the lush Rio Grande Valley, at the southern tip of Texas, Harlingen is where two countries and two cultures meet.

Harlingen’s south Texas charm is influenced by the traditions of Mexico and because of its semi-tropical climate and a variety of leisure year round activities, Harlingen has been given the name “Tropical Playground of Texas”.

Just north of Mexico and minutes from the Gulf Coast, the Harlingen area is blessed with a warm climate and warm people who make visitors feel right at home.

In Harlingen, quality of life abounds.  The beautiful beaches of South Padre Island and romantic Mexico are just minutes away, and fabulous year round birding, and the internationally known Rio Grande Valley Birding Festival, bring thousands of birders to the area annually.

Harlingen’s relaxed lifestyle and thriving economy, built on vegetables and citrus, but aggressively diversifying into logistics, manufacturing, distribution, healthcare and services, are bringing more visitors and residents all the time. 

Harlingen’s youthful population keeps it young at heart, and its seasonal seniors, affectionately called “Winter Texans”, who come to take advantage of its mild, tropical winters, add a carefree liveliness to both its cultural life and its economy.

Harlingen’s city government not only recognizes the contributions of businesses to the area, it opens doors and builds bridges for them.  The Harlingen Consolidated Independent School District has earned the “Recognized District” distinction from the Texas Education Agency for seven consecutive years, and all of the district’s 21 eligible schools have been either TEA Exemplary or Recognized during the past four years.

Whether you’re interested in finding a home for a family or a corporation or looking for a captivating and relaxing vacation spot, Harlingen’s got it covered.
