Mission, TX Homes for Sale

Explore homes for sale in Mission, Texas and see why this fast-growing RGV city offers a high quality of life, strong culture, and a wide variety of housing options — from affordable starter homes to newer construction in gated communities.

Why Live in Mission, Texas?

Mission sits in deep South Texas, close to the border, and enjoys warm weather most of the year — often around the 70s in the cooler months and climbing into the 90s in summer. That location has supported steady economic activity while keeping the lifestyle laid-back. The city’s population (around 86,000 people) makes it big enough to have amenities but small enough to plug in quickly. Mission also has strong Latin-American cultural influences in its food, events, and neighborhoods, which gives the area a unique RGV feel. Affordability is one of Mission’s biggest selling points. Costs can run about 20% lower than the national average in many categories, and housing has historically been more affordable than large Texas metros. Earlier data showed median list prices around the high $200s to low $300s, with many homes closing a little below that — perfect for first-time buyers, Winter Texans, and move-up RGV families.

Quality of Life and Amenities

Mission offers good access to schools, medical, and parks. Many newer communities are going up near schools and clinics, so daily drives stay short. Outdoor people can enjoy the World Birding Center, National Butterfly Center, and nearby nature areas. Golfers have several options, including the popular Shary Municipal course. Citywide, there are more than 25 parks plus annual events like the Texas Butterfly Festival that highlight Mission’s environment and culture. Because Mission sits near McAllen, you’re never far from shopping, restaurants, and the medical district — but you still get Mission’s quieter neighborhoods.
