Rosita, TX Homes for Rent

Rosita is home to the Kickapoo Traditional Tribe of Texas. In the 1980s, the rural valley east of the Rio Grande became a 118-acre reservation for the Native American tribe after they camped near the international bridge to Mexico for many decades. When the tribe opened the Lucky Eagle Casino Hotel in 1996, it brought around 700 new jobs to the area along with new homes and hotels. “That area has been very popular with Airbnbs and rental properties,” says Sandra Esquivel, a local All City Real Estate agent. “There’s a lot of growth in the area because that’s where the casino is.” With low-cost housing, an elementary school and a straightforward 15-minute drive to Eagle Pass, Rosita is a border town with some of the biggest attractions in Maverick County. Older homes are spread across long dirt country roads south of the highway. Traditional and contemporary homes are the primary architectural styles in this community, and housing prices are well below the national average of $556,000. “It’s far from the city – more on the outskirts,” Esquivel says. “A lot of new construction is headed toward that area.” Many smaller fixer-uppers have gravel, dirt and pebble landscaping with barn
