Mission
is a great place to rear a family. There are excellent medical and educational
facilities, and efficient emergency services help to insure safety. Mission
offers the advantages of city living without the congestion, pollution,
and noise. Comfortable homes, convenient shopping, and a multitude of
recreational activities are assets of the community. Youll find
friendly people to make you feel at home as two cultures, each retaining
its identity, share common interests and goals.
The population of
Mission has nearly doubled in size over the last decade and will most
likely do the same this decade with the help of two beautiful master planned
communities under development. Bentsen Palm Development, a 2,600 acre
retirement age targeted community with a focus on the environment, wildlife
and native habitats, is located on south Bentsen Palm Drive. Hunt Valley
Developments Sharyland Plantation, located on south Shary Road,
is home to the Pepsi Sports Park and several residential neighborhoods,
as well as some commercial areas. Were proud of our city, and we
invite you to come and visit - or come and stay - in either case, we think
youll Savor Mission!
