Corpus Christi, Texas

Corpus Christi is a Texas Gulf coast town and has a population of 286,000 people.Port town, military town, tourist haven, and fine weather all combine to make it a very livable city. The older areas near the water are more walkable than the outer suburbs so consider that you will need a car once you've got your Corpus Christi apartment sorted out.

There are a number of districts and island areas within Corpus Christi, and each one has a distinctive flavor. You'll find different cultures too like the Hispanic one, surfers, cowboys and military. It makes for an exciting place to live.

The Islands, The Islands

The locals enjoy the same destinations that tourists arrive for. Mustang and Padre Islands all house state or national parks and seashores, and provide an enormous amount of outdoor recreational activity from fishing to boating to surfing to hunting. Deep sea fishing excursions are a must for anyone with the slightest interest in catching the proverbial ‘big one'. The arts are well represented with places like South Texas Institute for the Arts, Harbor Playhouse Theatre, and the Corpus Christi Botanical Gardens and Nature Center which is as great for learning as for strolling around in.

Stars of Texas

With the Gulf at its front door, seafood is certainly one of the top dishes on Corpus Christi menus but there's also excellent Mexican, steak and international cuisines to choose from as well. Katz 21 is well known for its steaks as is the Republic of TexasBar and Grill. Located on the 20th floor of the Omni Hotel, the views of the water are amazing at sunset. Or if you prefer simpler, try Hester's where everything is always fresh and they serve breakfast all day long. Your Corpus Christi apartment and your new neighborhood will offer plenty of exploring of both mom and pop places as well as upscale ones.

Swanky Tapas

Nightlife in Corpus Christi is just as varied. You might want to start at the Havana Clubwhich is pretty swanky for a tapas bar but they have either a great dj or live music every night of the week. Cassidy's Irish Pub offers a more down to earth experience but is just as much fun too. There are a number of neighborhood bars that offer up live music of all types so go exploring as soon as you are settled in your Corpus Christi apartment.

Corpus Christi, Texas is Texas at its best.

I've got dogs. What are the best places in Corpus Christi for being outdoors with pets?
While there are no formal dog parks in Corpus Christi, the residents are gaining strength in petitioning for an official off-leash dog park. In the mean time pet owners can bring their furry friends along to the exquisite Padre Island National Seashore, the longest underdeveloped barrier island left in the world with 130,000 acres of natural terrain. Leashed dogs are welcome on Padre Island's park, beach, and campgrounds. Dotz Dawgs and Drafts is a great local joint where they serve up hot dogs, ice cream, and other treats on their dog-friendly patio. They will even bring your favorite pooch a doggie bowl for water!
What's a good neighborhood for families in Corpus Christi?
Situated along the scenic Nueces River, suburban Calallen is a great neighborhood for families looking to relocate to Corpus Christi, Texas. The community boasts a growing economy, an excellent public school system, and reasonably priced homes. With picturesque rolling hills and close proximity to Lake Corpus Christi, nature enthusiasts will quickly fall in love with this picture-perfect locale. Moreover, I-37 and US 77 are close by, allowing an easy commute into downtown Corpus Christi and outside of the city.
I will be moving to Corpus Christy and want a "safe" apartment, with good parking and no drainage problems. Also may have a cat with me. What areas are recommended as safe and what are not?
The safest areas are to rent an apartment in Corpus Christi Southside or Annaville/Calallen. It is also quite safe in the outlying areas of Rockport, and Portland.
Why should I move to Corpus Christi?
With a population of just under 300,000, Corpus Christi is the eighth largest city in Texas. Located 143 miles south of San Antonio on the Gulf of Mexico, Corpus Christi features very hot summers and cool winters, so it's best for those who can tolerate the heat and want to avoid the cold. There are many coastal parks near Corpus Christi, including Padre Island National Seashore and Aransas National Wildlife Refuge, providing nature lovers with ample area in which to spend time in the outdoors; the former offers camping. Corpus Christi is also home to Texas A and M University-Corpus Christi campus, which makes it a good place for both students and those who enjoy the realm of academia, as well as those who enjoy watching college sports.
Are there museums in Corpus Christi or nearby?
Yes, Corpus Christi is home to quite a number of museums. The Corpus Christi Museum of Science and History, for example, features history, archeology, and natural history exhibits. The USS Lexington Museum's interactive tour of a World War II-era aircraft carrier features a Flight Simulator, Virtual Battle Stations, and a three-story MEGA Theater. Other museums include the Asian Cultures Museum, the Texas State Aquarium, the Art Museum of South Texas, the Selena Museum, and the Texas Surf Museum.
Is Corpus Christi a family friendly town?
No, Corpus Christi is not a particularly family-friendly town. First of all, it's not very safe. At 71 crimes per 1,000 residents, the Corpus Christi crime rate is quite a bit higher than average when compared to other communities of similar population size. In addition, Corpus Christi has a poor public education system. It's provided by the Corpus Christi Independent School District, which was rated better than just 29.8 percent of school districts in the state and 38.8 percent of school districts in the country.
I was born and raised in Corpus. After many years, I would love to move back. How are job vacancies in the city? My husband and I are wondering where we should live? We are both looking for jobs.
Hello! A move back home is always a good thing. Corpus Christi has an unemployment rate of 6.5%...about two points below the national average! Seems like a good place to look for a job! There are a lot of nice areas, but it depends on what you'd like to be near.
