Instead, U.S. Marine Corps Corporal Miguel Simental and his family were surprised with a groundbreaking ceremony for their custom built, mortgage free house.

That was the scene last week when Simental and his family arrived to the Las Villas del Rio at the Groves and were met with a large crowd welcoming them to the site of their future home Thursday, April 25.

“This is an unbelievable feeling,” Simental told the crowd. “When I first told my daughters, about the possibilities of moving back to McAllen they were absolutely thrilled at the idea and I foresee the good things that will come from this and I'm excited to share the great moments that my family and I will make in this future home. Thank you so much for giving us peace of mind.”
