McAllen, Hidalgo County
I'm a native.
I’ve lived in McAllen for most of my life. I’ve seen it grow from around 30k to over 100k! You can now find many of the popular retailers, restaurant chains, and education.
McAllen is a great place to live, where the pace is picking up, but the traffic jams are VERY negligible.
Yes, it’s hot – VERY hot in July, August, and September, but we’re 65 inland from the Gulf of Mexico, so not too much of a threat from hurricanes, and yet you can get to the beach, to Mexico, and join the faster pace for a weekend in San Antonio, Austin, Corpus Christi, or Houston.
