Iglesia Antigua balances rural calm with convenient access to the heart of the Rio Grande Valley. Tucked just outside San Benito in Cameron County, the community offers wide-open skies, resaca-fed greenery, and an easygoing pace that still keeps you close to daily essentials. Local life revolves around family, food, and Friday nights, while the broader region’s festivals, markets, and taquerías are only a short drive away.
Nature lovers have outstanding day-trip options. Stroll shaded trails and watch kettles of hawks glide over the coastal plain at Resaca de la Palma State Park, part of the World Birding Center network, via the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department’s official site. Explore the battlefield that shaped the border at Palo Alto Battlefield National Historical Park through the National Park Service. For fishing, wildlife viewing, and nighttime skies unspoiled by city lights, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s Laguna Atascosa National Wildlife Refuge is a local favorite.
Families appreciate access to the San Benito Consolidated Independent School District, which offers a wide range of academic and extracurricular programs. Business travelers and beachgoers alike benefit from the Brownsville South Padre Island International Airport’s growing routes, and cross-border commerce is streamlined at the Cameron County–operated Free Trade International Bridge at Los Indios.
