Rent to own Homes in Edinburg, TX

Originally called Chapin, Edinburg was renamed the year it became the county seat of Hidalgo in 1911 in honor of a local businessman who was born in Edinburgh, Scotland. The city has little in common with its European namesake, especially when it comes to its scorching climate. Located near the southern tip of Texas, about twenty miles from the Mexican border, Edinburg is known for its scenic wetlands, which provide a haven for birds and other wildlife, as well as beautiful walking trails for the human population.

Edinburg, TX is a great place for affordable rent-to-own homes! With a median household income of over $51,220 and a median rent of $810, the Edinburg, TX rent-to-own market is more affordable than the traditional housing market which has shown tremendous growth across the U.S. and with it, aggressive competition for home purchases. With the current housing shortage trend it can make it harder to become a homeowner, including in Edinburg, TX. This means higher than average down payments for homes and higher qualification standards for conventional home loans. With a rent-to-own property, tenants are also buyers. You can live in the house for a set amount of time before you purchase it, meaning that you get to know the house, your neighbors, and your community before making the final purchase. This enables you and your family to make the right choice based on both information and experience. Rent-to-own is also a great alternative way to get into a home if you have bad credit or don't have enough saved for a down payment.

Over the next two years, the university will also begin fielding both a female and male soccer team.

If your tastebuds start screaming out for something different, there's plenty to placate them with, such as Armando's Pizza or the Vietnamese restaurant Chopstix, both of which are also on University Drive.

Outdoor Activities Within the city limits there are a few ways to keep yourself occupied outdoors.

The city's public parks offer a number of facilities that can help you make the most of good weather. The Municipal Park is the largest and has baseball and soccer fields, a basketball court, and fishing areas. If you'd rather get in the water than sit next to it, Fountain Park and Frontier Park are just two of the places you can go for a swim.
