Nestled along the United States-Mexico border beside the Rio Grande, Downtown Brownsville offers a community-oriented, multicultural experience. Similar to other downtown districts, Downtown Brownsville is home to several museums and government buildings. The city is also home to the Glady Porter Zoo, Texas Southmost College, and the University of Texas-Rio Grande. Downtown Brownsville exemplifies the city’s diverse offerings including an abundance of retailers and eclectic restaurants serving up seafood, vegan, and authentic cultural dishes. As the heart of the city, downtown is also home to a plethora of annual festivals, parades, and block parties like the Latin Jazz Festival and First Fridays, a monthly event celebrating music and art. Vibrant murals adorn the sides of buildings while palm trees complement the city’s Mission-style and Mediterranean-style architecture. Rental options include pueblo-style houses, ranch-style homes, and modern apartments.
