I moved from San Antonio to Brownsville about 5 1/2 years ago. I had no idea where to live in Brownsville since some areas are unsafe. I eventually moved into Posada De Las Palmas where I lived at for about 5 years. While, I lived there and I did not have major problems. The complex is gated and the gates open at 6am and close at 9pm. I personally felt safe at the complex even during the evening. The rent is pretty affordable and you can't beat the price since cable and water/sewage is included. Management lives on site and keep the complex in shape. I know the complex is an older complex, but Marcela tries to keep up the maintenance. You won't be disappointed in moving into the complex.
