A connected community with hometown charm, strong schools, and everything you need close to home.
Living in the Rio Grande Valley usually means your life doesn't stay in one city. Work might be in one town, family in another, and a weekend at the coast somewhere else entirely. Harlingen sits near the center of it. Valley International Airport is right here, and I-2 and I-69E put much of the Valley within an easy drive. Brownsville is about 30 minutes, McAllen about 40, and South Padre Island about 55. For people whose work takes them across the region, Harlingen makes a practical home base without giving up easy access to the rest of the Valley.
It started here. Harlingen is more than one of the cities where we build. It's where Zarate Homes & Designs began. Our family has called the Rio Grande Valley home for generations, and Harlingen has been at the center of our work since we began building in 2016. What started here has grown into homes, communities, land development, rental properties, and commercial projects across the Valley. But Harlingen remains home to our headquarters and an important part of where we're building today.
Building Here Since 2016
Harlingen is where Zarate Homes & Designs began and where we're still headquartered today.
