Cons:
Located in Mission which to me is part of the Barrio area of the RGV. Would never take a walk outside of the park, and never saw anyone else do it either (YMMV). After dark I stopped speaking the language outside of the fenced "compound." Paid top dollar per KW. No WiFi other than clubhouse. Cable TV depends on lot(I think.) We got hitch itch after about a week, even though we stayed a month. Can't imagine spending three months unless you enjoy doing park activities and staying in at night.
We have spent 10 seasons in the Mission area and never once were concerned for our safety. This includes many 10:00 P.M. trips to the DQ and even attending entertainment in some of the neighborhood bars.
The local population is about 99% Hispanic, most are hard working and family orientated. We go to Mexico and to the local flea markets where you may not hear much English spoken but we communicate well enough to buy great produce and have a good meal and get our teeth fixed. Our Mexican dentist does speak good English. It may take some pointing & hand signals but we get it done. There are many poor & run down neighborhoods. Just makes us feel more fortunate for what we have.
