About the La Plaza Mall Area
La Plaza Mall sits on South 10th Street in central McAllen.
It opened in 1981 and has anchored this part of the city ever since.
The residential streets nearby run between Expressway 83 to the north and Business 83 to the south.
This is a mixed neighborhood — single-family homes on the side streets, apartment complexes closer to the main corridors.
Some blocks are quiet and owner-occupied.
Others sit within a short walk of the commercial strip on South 10th Street.
Both types of properties show up in our call log.
Most of the housing here was built between the late 1970s and the early 2000s.
Concrete block and stucco are the standard exterior materials for this era in McAllen.
Slab-on-grade foundations, low-pitched rooflines, and tile roofing are common.
These are solid homes — built to last in South Texas conditions — but they need upkeep.
