Recently named an All-America City, Harlingen offers much to see and do-shopping for antiques in the Jackson Street historic district, exploring exotic Mexico across the Rio Grande, reviewing the exhibits at the art gallery, celebrating at the annual RioFest, rooting for your minor league baseball team, golfing at one of the area's 30 courses, watching birds or hiking in the wildlife refuge, or enjoying the beach at nearby South Padre Island. Family life is easy in Harlingen. The newly renovated Valley International Airport provides ready access to major commercial airlines. Education is first-rate with magnet schools in the South Texas Independent School District, many private school options (including Montessori programs), and undergraduate and graduate programs at three nearby colleges and universities. Harlingen's growing economy offers many employment options for spouses. And Harlingen also offers one of the lowest costs of living in the nation.
