The spirit of the west lives in this timeless border town

Military Desert Airport

Del Rio is a small and fairly secluded city on the Mexican border, directly across the Rio Grande from Ciudad Acuna. Situated just outside Laughlin Air Force Base, the largest pilot training facility in the United States Air Force, Del Rio is home to a large number of civilian military employees and support personnel, as well as armed service members seeking off-base housing. Much of the city retains a rustic appearance that has made Del Rio a popular filming location for films and TV shows over the years, particularly westerns. The diverse rental market features a mix of apartments, condos, and single-family homes, with great options available for any budget or lifestyle.
