A new subdivision near an elementary school in Brownsville has addresses that don’t appear on Google Maps yet, even though it’s about 15 minutes from downtown.

The single-family homes in the Central Park Community near Raquel Peña Elementary School were in various stages of development – from vacant grassy lots to poured foundations, wood frames, and many finished houses. Meanwhile, bunches of wild sunflowers and wheat from old agricultural fields still grew tall near an electrical pole. 

In this neighborhood sits a newly built house that’s on the market. It spans 1,392 square feet and features three bedrooms, two baths, a yard, and a one-car garage. On Sept. 20, it was listed for $259,900.

That’s about the median home sale price for the Brownsville-Harlingen metropolitan statistical area for August 2025.
