WHY MERCEDES, TX. 

Mercedes is known as the "Queen City" of the Rio Grande Valley because of the disputed belief it is named after a Spanish Queen. What isn't disputed is the original purpose of the city, initially designed for agriculture and land irrigation in the valley. Today, the city of 15,000 has evolved, but its roots are still prominent in the community. "Mercedes is very much a cowboy town," says Margiee Fender, a Realtor with Medina Real Estate. "You'll see horse races and cowboy boots; it's that kind of lifestyle."

The nearby outlets, highly rated schools and opportunity for housing stock are among the factors that draw valley residents to Mercedes. "It's very family-oriented; people will leave and move back to be closer to their families or start a family of their own," Fender says. The main employers in the area are the school district and nearby hospitals. 

Modest homes in the Rio Grande Valley

Mercedes's median home sale price is $170,000, lower than the national median price of $405,000 and nearby Weslaco's median price of $245,000. Older, modest homes needing renovations can cost as little as $50,000. Pricier homes outside the city boundaries have several acres of land, usually costing between $300,000 and $500,000. "There aren't a lot of luxury homes," Fender says. "Some are older homes where the elderly no longer live, or the families outgrow them."
