Located on the Gulf of Mexico, Corpus Christi is a fairly large city with a unique personality combining elements of a coastal getaway and a modern metropolis. Corpus Christi has some of Texas’ best beaches, bayside parks, and waterfront homes. With access to several bodies of water, windsurfing, fishing, kiteboarding, and other watersports are extremely popular. Padre Island, Mustang Island, and North Beach all have their own special atmospheres and give renters access to a variety of activities. The fun doesn’t stop at the beach either. Corpus Christi has plenty of entertainment options for any age to enjoy. Families flock to trampoline parks, waterparks, and amusement parks offering classic activities from bounces houses to go-karts. Renters adore the museums, theaters, bars, and live entertainment venues like Whataburger Stadium downtown. Corpus Christi was also home to the “Queen of Tejano”, Selena Quintanilla, so be sure to visit her memorial downtown or the Selena Museum to learn about one of the most celebrated Mexican-American entertainers of all time.
If you’re feeling hungry, there are tons of eateries across town. Of course, seafood is king but you can also find Texan staples like Tex-Mex and barbecue. Of course, tourism helps the city’s economy, but the Port of Corpus Christi, the Naval Air Station Corpus Christi, and Corpus Christi Army Depot are major economic drivers for the city as well. The city is also the permanent home of the aircraft carrier USS “Lexington,” which spends its retirement as a floating museum. With all of this to offer and more, Corpus Christi is your dream beach community elevated with the perks of city living — now you just have to find your apartment to make it come true.
