About San Carlos
San Carlos (pop. 3,087 in the 2020 census) is a census-designated place — not an incorporated city — east of Edinburg, and one of the Valley's larger colonia communities: unincorporated neighborhoods that grew outside city limits, often with modest self-built homes on large lots. It's a close-knit community where housing is among the most affordable in the metro, with open roads and big South Texas skies (shown in the Commons photos below).
