Review of Harlingen, Texas


Sunshine and Opportunity Await
Star Rating - 1/10/2021
Harlingen is a city that offers retirees the most bang for the buck! It is near enough to McAllen and Brownsville and all they offer. You get a wide variety of shopping and dining venues. In the valley there are three International Airports. You are close enough for a day trip to Mexico for fun. Less than an hour to South Padre Island. Many cultural places to visit. Parks, and golf is here, but they do not manage them well. We moved here in 2017. The climate is our favorite thing about the Harlingen area. Most of the time we have a Gulf breeze. Hot a bit, but not that bad. We have not turned the heat on yet in the last 11 months! Good medical, dental, and specialists can be found here. San Benito is a short drive from our home and we love that small town too. Lots of sunshine and opportunity awaits older people here. This is a cultural melting pot.
