"It's pretty and much cooler than the valley. Good local people and an awesome farmers market. There is a big beautiful park with a tennis court and playground, 2 ball fields, basketball court, exercise path and a grassy tree lined amphitheatre where the farmers market it held. All of this is in walking distance of "downtown" Brownsville. We have multiple lakes and creeks for swimming or water sports all in a 15 min drive. There is also snow just a few miles away to play in the winter. I love it here. Our local store will be rebuilt brand new after a fire last year."
