From its origins as a trading post in the 1830s, the area served as an army camp during the war with Mexico, and Corpus Christi was incorporated in 1852.

Of course, summers are known for their heat and humidity, but the city’s breezier-than-normal winds help mitigate these factors.

How do I get around town?

Dozens of city buses serve Corpus Christi daily, and several among the fleet are decked out as red trolley cars. The buses, operated by the Corpus Christi Regional Transportation Authority, also offers a “bike and ride” option for those commuters who’d like to bike part of the way to work, school or shopping. While the city is still working on pedestrian-friendly options, the best neighborhoods for walkers are the Bay Area, South Side and Central City areas. When you need to travel further longer distances, the Corpus Christi International Airport is conveniently close by.

Another landmark, the USS Lexington is a massive floating museum ship anchored in North Bay. The city’s Shoreline Promenade boasts several gazebo-like structures known as the “Miradors del Mar,” or “sea watchers.” The promenade seawall is also increasingly famous, because of its stunning murals created by local artists.

Corpus Christi is also within a few hours’ ride to Mexican cities like Nuevo Laredo, as well as Texan meccas like Houston and Austin.

Where is the best place to move in Corpus Christi?

When it comes to Corpus Christi apartments, neighborhoods in the Bay Area are much in demand. Water views and proximity to kayaking, sailing and other activities are obvious reasons for this popularity, but the area also offers access to the Texas A&M branch. Despite its name, the Central City section is actually somewhat rural, but you can find apartments here, as well as plenty of food and clothes shopping. Calallen, known for its excellent schools, is another family-friendly section of the city. For couples and singles looking for Corpus Christi apartments in the downtown region, you’ll find plenty of suitable buildings dotted among the clubs and boutiques. Ingleside is a bit quirkier, with docks and outdoor marking places making for a great mix among both traditional and beach-themed apartment dwellings.
