Corpus ,fishing ,beaches ,outdoors plenty. - 10/24/2022
I grew up here and come visit all the time.Some say roads are bad but they have been redoing most all major roads ,now they are working on residential streets.Some say property taxes are high ,but they are less Ft.Worth ,El Paso and Austin ,on par with Houston ,San Antonio.The city does needs more light manufacturing and white collar jobs though.Plenty of construction and heavy industry jobs.Fishing is great with many piers,bays ,jetties,surf fishing and offshore fishing.There has to be 1000 places to fish in a 50 mile area.There is 100 miles of beaches with N Padre and Mustang Island ,even a private island unihabited island (San Jose Island).There are 3 state parks ,1 National Seashore,and Aransas Wildlife Refuge where the whooping cranes winter.Yes it gets hot especially in July Aug.,1/2 of Sept.but real nice rest of year only cold month is Jan.Feb, where you might have 2-4 days of freezing weather.Corpus Christi just needs a few more attractions ,though there is the Aquarium,Ball

Corpus Christi: A Natural Beauty - 1/28/2021
I grew up in Corpus Christi and still return occasionally. Corpus Christi is probably the most underrated city in Texas. Probably because it is not the picture of a stereotypical Texas city. Corpus Christi is a deep South Texas city. It is located in what is referred to as the Coastal Bend section of Texas.
Corpus Christi is referred to as the Sparkling City By The Sea. First time visitors get a bit taken back at the size of the city. Corpus Christi is large in population (over 300,000) and space. The city is expansive. I read an earlier review that referred to CC as a “small city”. That is completely wrong.
Corpus Christi is among the most natural beauty cities in Texas. It also has a few cool man-made beautiful sites. When you enter Corpus Christi along the coast, you drive over the coolest bridge in Texas, the Harbor Bridge. From the Harbor Bridge, you see the USS Lexington (WW II era aircraft carrier), Whataburger Field (among the top three minor league baseball

Corpus Beaches - 6/6/2018
Corpus Christi is a small city on the shores of Texas with a very nice bayfront. The winters are cloudy bringing much cooler air. The summer months are brutally hot but the hidden treasure of Corpus is their Padre Island Mustang Island & Port Aransas beaches which are absolutely beautiful with a constant breeze where you can drive up on the beach. If you like doing a little surfing or just love beaching it this is a water wonderland for summer vacations. John

Brackish Water Fishing - 12/11/2015
I moved to Corpus a couple months ago. Applying at other Texas Cities at are normal. In order to fish where fresh water meets salt water , means driving many miles. North of the city before the refineries is all commercial. Farther south equals 30, 40, or 50 miles.
Came from a bayou area. In less than 5 miles, I had many brackish and salt water fishing spots. City parks, behind shopping centers, brackish and salt water was all over. I like throwing jigs for bass and reds, and shrimp for cats and black drum.

seems like a dead end - 5/7/2015
Have never lived here but have visited family here dozens of times over the last 40 years and the place never seems to change. Probably a good place to retire especially if you like to fish. Cheap housing though electric and taxes are high. People here are nice.
Younger family members who grew up here have all had to move from CC to find good jobs, there is very little here for college grads compared to Houston, Austin, DFW or even San Antonio. Have been here 6 times in the last year and have seen one new building going up during those trips.
There is a nice jogging or bike trail along the bay that does not get much use. In 2010 Corpus was voted the fattest city in the country by Mens Health Magazine. That has not changed much.

unless you are hispanic or/and a meth lover this i - 4/28/2015
Cctx seems to turn out like the new Gotham.... Crimes, greedy, ugly and psycho people everywhere. And yes if you aren't hispanic (no matter how friendly you are!) you are just screwed in this town! I lived there for over one year, my experience crime almost doubles over night, police isn't doing anything but eating Tacos, i even was afraid to to step outside during daylight without my husband. The roads and neighborhoods are just getting worse and worse, no one cares about anything anymore, the whole town is trashy and dirty and falling apart and drugs become more and more popular! People are so under educated and this reflects the town, Corpus is all about dumb people and druggies! A lot of shooting and dead people. The one and only real attraction there is : the beach, gets, if at all, cleaned once a year for the spring breakers but the rest of the year nothing! Places are expenisve to live in and not well maintained either. Also you'll find a bunch of drunken people driving around

Roads - 7/27/2014
Worst roads in the whole state of Texas for a town of more than 25000.Absolutely unbelievable ,even the streets in the two country clubs are pathetic. Potholes everywhere you turn..Miserable road upkeep,absolutely no street sweepers,no median or lawn mowing by city done on public byways.Whole city looks like it's broken down ,fading away into a junkyard.CCTX is nothing more than one giant pothole with a mess of dirty disposable diapers thrown in and steaming in the summer heat.You see disposable diapers thrown around everywhere. Very disgusting throw away culture here.

A great Place to Live or Visit - 6/6/2014
I live on North Padre Island in Corpus Christi. The cost of living is great, the climate is wonderful year round. Allergies are few and short lived (grasses) There are lots of recreational things to do. The National Seashore, rated 2nd best beach in the world, fishing year round, ample places nearby for deer, turkey, bird hunting within 1-2 hours plus all conveniences of a large city, just 3 miles over the bridge to the mainland. We have the Naval Air Station , Air Defense base and the Coast Guard right here across the bay. Texas AM Corpus Christi is here and a world class University attracting students for across the country and world. Unemployment is low, but lots of opportunity as the Oil and Gas business booms in south Texas. Having lived in DFW, Central Oregon, Roswell, N, M, and growing up on the Island of St. Croix, USVI, Corpus Christi offers a little bit of everything I loved about all those regions.
