Description: This brick and stucco home was built in 2001, and is located in a quiet, well-established neighborhood in McAllen, a border town deep in south Texas.

The house boasts cathedral ceilings with ceiling fans, central air conditioning, a water softener and an alarm system. There are walk-in closets, built-in shelves and other fine details.

The rich farmlands around McAllen have made the area a major agricultural center. The local economy has also been buoyed by McAllen's proximity to Mexican factories, which ship through the area.

The demand for homes brought on by the vibrant economy should send prices up by 4% over the next 12 months.
