That blend of small-neighborhood streets and big-sky nature is the backdrop for life in and around ZIP code 78584.

Campobello Number 2 Colonia sits among a tight cluster of colonias that knit together the residential side of Roma, with Campobello Colonia right next door and the Roma Creek neighborhoods close enough that many errands and school drop-offs overlap. The area’s growth has followed the practical needs of families putting down roots near Roma ISD campuses and city services, creating a lived-in streetscape where neighbors recognize one another and households often include kids, grandparents, and relatives nearby. With a median age of 28.1 in the surrounding ZIP area and 25.6% of residents under 18, the day-to-day energy here tends to center on school schedules, park time, and family gatherings.

Housing affordability is a defining part of the story. In the 78584 area, the typical home value sits around $81,400, and that price point shapes the neighborhood’s appeal for buyers who want to own rather than rent. Homeownership runs strong locally, with 60.4% of residents owning, and the wider housing picture includes 6,775 units with a mix of owner-occupied and renter households. The feel is pragmatic and family-first, with homes reflecting decades of additions and updates made to fit changing needs.

Schools anchor community identity here, especially because the closest Roma ISD campuses are within a quick drive. EMMA VERA EL and ROMA H S are both about 0.9 miles away, and Roma Middle is in the same range, which makes the morning routine more manageable for households juggling multiple drop-offs.

What is the cost of living in Campobello Number 2 Colonia?

Cost-of-living index details weren’t provided for Campobello Number 2 Colonia, so I can’t accurately cite a Regional Price Parity figure for overall costs, housing, goods, or utilities. (That index is commonly explained as 100 equaling the U.S. average, with values below 100 meaning cheaper-than-average and above 100 meaning more expensive.) What we can quantify here is housing affordability and property taxes. The typical home value in the 78584 area is about $81,400, and median gross rent is around $636 per month, which gives many households a lower entry point than higher-priced Texas metros. On property taxes, the city rate is $0.5482 per $100 of valuation and the county rate is $0.7086 per $100, with Roma ISD levying $1.1664 per $100. Together, the combined estimated property tax rate is $2.4232 per $100 valuation. As always, actual tax bills vary by exemptions and appraisal values, but those rates set expectations for ownership costs. And because this is Texas, residents benefit from having no state income tax, which can help offset other household expenses even when property taxes are a meaningful part of the monthly budget.
