With around two hundred residents, it sits along the Highway 83 corridor between Rio Grande City and La Grulla. Daily life moves at a relaxed pace, surrounded by South Texas brush country and neighbors who enjoy wide-open space.

Because the area is strictly residential, locals make the short drive into Rio Grande City for groceries, dining, and healthcare at Starr County Memorial Hospital.

South Texas College also operates a campus nearby, giving residents a peaceful rural setting with county services close at hand.
