New resident - 2/22/2013
The Corpus Christi area is a great place to live, especially if you like the water. This is one of the best fishing areas in the country. Most beaches are accessable to the public becsuse they are considered public highways. The area enjoys a strong economy mainly because of the booming oil business. The Port of Corpus Christi is the tenth busiest in the country. I have heard criticism from outsiders that the area is poluted by industry, however I neither see nor smell any evidence to support that statement. On the contrary, fish and birds are abundant and no prohibition on eating fish from the bay exists.
Downside, humidity is usually around 80% most days and temps range from low 50's in the winter to the 100's in the summer. Stay in the shade and the wind will keep you cool. Average wind speed is 12 mph.
Dining here is relaxed and casual, jeans and boots. Seafood is abundant, BBQ has it's own local flare and the TexMex is worth the

A City That Could .... - 8/5/2012
Corpus Christi is a great city that has never really seen its potential. Infrastructure is crumbling but the citizens are addressing that issue now and over the next 25 or so years. Weather is only insufferable three months out of the year and the rest is great. Wind does blow all the time but you get used to throwing away the hair spray and just let Mother Nature give you the style of the day. Corpus Christi is really great for those that like hunting, fishing, windsailing, and the beach. Golf courses are nothing but goat ranches. If you look hard and listen to the locals there are some really good restaurants in town. Plenty of health care with what seems like a hospital on every corner. One even specializes in children and actually serves all of South Texas. Cost of living is below the national average but the neighborhood and design selection of homes are limited. Not enough mid to high end condos but plenty of those you would not retire in. School system is probably

Hot, muggy summers. Wind is nearly constant and unpleasant. Late fall and winter are most appealing times of the year.

The Salt Water Humidity Has Saved My Face! - 5/24/2012
I am 32 years old and just moved here 3 weeks ago. The weather here is a little windy but beautiful even on "bad" days. I have had acne since i was 11. Doctors have told me within the last 5 years that there was nothing else I could do. One week after being here it is completely clear. I just needed to move by the ocean I

Nice place to live, but too hot for my taste - 9/5/2011
Corpus is a nice, smaller city to live in overall. But it stays too hot/warm for my taste for too much of the year. There are good schools here, the bay, nice neighborhoods, but even these favorable aspects can't make me want to stay. I feel trapped indoors as I don't like to spend time out in the

air quality - 1/13/2010
I live on south padre, near the beach, where there is a wind off the ocean, the majority of time, My ranking of the air wuld have to be 99.9 of 100, by sperlings comparison ranking in corpus christi of 29 of 100. I am thinking a ranking of air quality must be made clearly stating the variables, otherwise irs an invalid statement. I don't want to sound critical but really 29 ? Corpus Christi, where the air is off the
