Val Verde Park, TX

Val Verde Park is a quiet residential community sitting just outside Del Rio in southwest Texas. Home to a little over 2,000 residents, it offers a laid-back, spread-out feel while keeping everyday conveniences close at hand. Because it borders Del Rio directly, locals look to the neighboring city for grocery runs, dining, and local schools through the San Felipe Del Rio school district.

Living here puts you right in the middle of border-country charm and outdoor living. Commuting is straightforward for those working in town or at Laughlin Air Force Base, which sits just east of the area. On weekends, residents can easily cool off along the spring-fed waters of San Felipe Creek or head a few miles northwest to boat and fish at Lake Amistad. It is a calm, unassuming neighborhood that lets you enjoy a slower pace without giving up city amenities.
