The Sand Dollar Girls, South Padre Island Realtors

South Padre Island and surrounding areas.

Real Estate on South Padre Island, Port Isabel, Laguna Vista, Bayview, SPI Golf Course and the Rio Grande Valley.

If you have never visited our part of the world before you may be surprised to learn of how developed our Rio Grande Valley of South Texas area has become and how much it is continuing to change and expand. Many factors such as weather, political and economic forces, “baby boomers” retiring and searching for comfortable havens have contributed to our area deserving its rating as one of the fastest growing places of the United States.

The comparatively mild winter weather brings an estimated average of as many as 800,000 “Winter Texans” during  the months of October, November, December, January, February and March. These winter visitors often become permanent residents of The Rio Grande Valley after enjoying a few relaxing seasons here, spending time away from the colder climates and the unavoidable lifestyle that accompanies living with snow.

As a regional description, South Texas is basically the area of Texas south of San Antonio, but it should not be confused with the Rio Grande Valley. The four most southeastern counties, Cameron, Willacy, Hidalgo, and Starr, which make up the Rio Grande Valley belong to the "South Texas" designation, but not all of South Texas is part of the Rio Grande Valley.
