===========
Should you really move to Corpus Christi Texas? Today, we'll walk you through the 10 CONS of moving to Corpus Christi Texas! Let’s talk about a few of the downsides of living in Corpus Christi Texas today. There is a TON of pros - don’t get me wrong. I wouldn’t live here if the pros didn’t outweigh the cons - but it’s worth noting that there are a few things that people don’t like about living here.
==============
WEATHER
In Texas, when it’s cold, it’s cold, and when it’s hot, it’s REALLY hot.
BUGS
The bugs here can be a problem, especially when you’re coming from areas like California where the bugs just aren’t an issue. But the solution that most Texans go to to deal with that is yard spraying, and that takes care of most of the issue. Just don’t allow standing water in your yard, and you should be good.
ALLERGIES
This is one that you really must keep in mind, especially if you’re coming from somewhere with less foliage in general. The pollen here during the Spring especially is NUTS.
PROPERTY TAXES
We do have pretty high property taxes here to make up for no income tax, so that’s definitely something that catches some people off guard when they move here.
CORPUS CHRISTI IS A SMALL BIG TOWN
Corpus Christi is Restricted by the Gulf of Mexico and the Corpus Christi Bay so we can only grow West and South. But we are growing that way fast.
TRAFFIC
And of course, because Corpus Christi is a smaller town, we only have two meager highway and no loop so when coming from one to the other during the rush hour it gets real congested so be prepared for that
HURRICANES
This is a question we get a lot, but yes - we do have the occasional scare of hurricanes but Corpus Christi has not had a direct impact in quite a while.
FRIENDLINESS
Texans are VERY friendly, so getting stopped to chat at the grocery store or getting held up in line somewhere because people are chatting is a common occurrence - could be a pro or con, depending on who you are!
FLAT
Last of all, Corpus Christi is a bit flat, which is my biggest complaint about Corpus Christi. Overall, the cons really aren’t that bad, but you should keep them in mind when you’re moving here. I’m here to help you find the best spot for you in Corpus Christi Texas!

I have lived in Corpus for 45 years. Everyone has their own opinion. I love Corpus.
I moved here in 95 from Rockport and have loved it every sense.
Yes but violence is crazy here
@Ghost Gaming Not really... Most of the violence happens on the west side of town in the LA Molina Central City areas.
@@Salty_Vet Also not only the violence it’s dirty as hell and the city is not taking care of. Also the schools are horrible.
@VERGE Cody YT The schools are not horrible. Carroll and Veterans Memorial are brand new. Miller and Ray are the first two schools in Corpus and were renovated. Moody and King are the only two that really need updates.
I live in Corpus Christi for 48 years decided to move and I hate being away from Corpus
I lived and worked in Corpus Christi for several years. We enjoyed it. We did evacuate for a hurricane once, but suffered no damage. There is nothing wrong with being able to play golf in your shorts in January. Ended up moving to run a family business that needed help, but we very much enjoyed our time there.
Lived in Corpus for 35 years (moved out four years ago) and it’s a really good place to live and retire. One quick note on taxes: if anyone out there that is 100% disabled from the VA, they pay no property tax in Nueces county. Thanks for the video.
Yes that is 100% correct. Thanks for watching.
Do you know if you get a break at 60% VA disability??
@@johnjolly2087 All over Texas: Disabled Veteran 50 to 69% rates, will receive a $10,000 property tax exemption. And if you have Social Security Permanent Disability you might get frozen property taxes when filed.
We did at 60 percent.
@@johnjolly2087 anything over 50% you get DV plates on your car and all you pay for is the inspection 12 dollars (one vehicle only) , hunting and fishing supper combo is free! and you get a % of taxes off for over 50% and you can homestead to help even more!
How we give directions in Corpus….”Take a left at Whataburger. After three Whataburgers, take a right and go passed two more Whataburgers and it will be across from HEB!
😅 that's how I still give directions
I’ve lived here for 23 years and I don’t like it. The thieves in this town will steal anything that isn’t cemented in. I can’t even put a potted plant in my front yard. They will even dig up newly planted plants. I was told by a nurseryman at one of our better nurseries about one of their customers that they landscaped the entire front yard with succulents. Someone dug everyone of them up over night. The stray dog population is horrible. I read almost daily about someone that saw someone dump their dog or puppies. People find cardboard boxes with puppies or kittens dumped. These a just a few reasons I don’t like it here.
Those things sound worse than my town. I'm kind of surprised about it. I really love the beach, but I think over the years the water has become more polluted. Times in the past my family planned to go over there to corpus Christi, but on the internet apparently people were getting sick from the ocean water.😢
Sounds like North Beach area.
Moved here a yr ago from ny, easy living. Traffic is a joke compared to the LIE in ny. Traffic is minimal. Weather is great, don’t miss shoveling snow one sec
I think with the state of the economy right now, Corpus Christi is a great option for those with the means to move. We raised our kids in California and moved as soon as we could. First to Tacoma Washington, (2 yrs) then here. It was too cold there for us. The cost of living here is great in comparison. 30% less across the board! I feel so bad for family and friends struggling to make it in NYC, California and Hawaii. Yes, it's hot, and there are bugs. We live in the future and have air conditioning and bug spray. Its a nice trade off to not be stressed about the financial future. It just depends on folks priorities. I love Cali, was born and raised there, but the writing was on the wall. I left my heart in San Francisco!
Go back
😢 raised in Southern California. I'm in orange county and we are thinking seriously about moving to southern Texas. My heart is breaking and I'm really nervous
@@kellylasko yea, it’s a culture shock at first (plastic bags, styrofoam, still in use everywhere). The folks I have met are cool. No matter where I’ve lived, it’s a mixed bag. Best of luck to you!
@@user-gw1sg5jj3r why would I do that? My generation grew up singing that song 🎶 This land is your land, this land is my land🎶 in school. So, I can get to live anywhere I want across the nation. You can too! 😉❤️
Been here 5 years. Love it. Excellent community and weather.
Couldn't agree more!
4 generations of my family have been born in Corpus Christi & still live here. My Dad migrated to the Texas Hill Country a few yrs ago. 10-11 months of Summer & January. Lol. October is a great weather month. Snow has happened, but we're back in flip flops within about 3-4 days & headed to the beach. July-Sept is definitely better spent in air conditioning or a pool mainly because, even though the wind here wasn't mentioned, the Gulf Breeze is what keeps it cool & it just seems to stop in those months. Also, bad hair days due to the wind and humidity are common so just invest in hats, scrunchies, barrettes, etc. We are one of the most windy places. CC is also part of the birding trail & we have almost every imaginable bird come through here in Spring & Autumn so get some binoculars. Hazel Bazemore park in Calallen (our natural coastal hill area) even has Hawk Watch until Nov. For mosquitoes, buy some mosquito dunks or mosquito bits and invite Purple Martins which will eat their weight in bugs. There are DynaTrap machines that work, too. Those June bugs (Japanese beetles) seem to arrive earlier each yr. They are a pain, but not dangerous. Fire Ants are a different story & those brown scorpions are no joke. CC is definitely the biggest small town around & we will definitely strike up conversation in checkout lines or anywhere else. As for hurricanes, after my parents rode out Celia in '70, our family decided that hurricanes were our cue from God to take a trip to the Hill Country.
Be warned about pot holes. We pay street fees, but our city still looks like we're testing missiles in many areas, unfortunately. Invest in car washes due to the salt air causing them to rust, too. I love my home town. No place is perfect, but living in Houston for 2 yrs sent me rt back hm yrs ago. If I ever do leave, I'm headed towards the hill country area like my Dad.
Corpus christi is more like an older people town so they can come there and relax
"We say in Corpus that it takes 20 minutes to get anywhere."
"We say that in Dallas, too.
Do they also say in Corpus, "If you don't like the weather, wait a minute."
I also hear that everywhere I've lived. It's like no matter where you live, most perceive things the same way.
Dallas is a cesspool like Los Angeles now
Howdy from Corpus Christi Texas. From a 5th generation Texican. Outstanding video 👍 👍
Hey, thanks!
I grew up in Corpus, and man, I sure do miss it. Such a wonderful place to live.
I would have to agree.
Did you have a relative who taught grade school?
@@duskintheforest584 Not that I know of...but I have a lot of relatives(distant) that I don't even know about, and they live in Texas, Arkansas, Tenn, and Alabama
My 2 cents, I have a property in Port Aransas and am in the area frequently. Corpus Christi has considerably more violent crime and gang activity than Austin (which is considerably larger). There are many areas of town that are impacted by the environmental pollution of the refineries and chemical plants. Additionally, being a coastal city, everything is in an accelerated process of corrosion. Your vehicles and homes are going to require constant maintenance.
I live near the water and everything you just said either makes you a liar or very very naive.
@@docwho10th88 www.ice.gov/news/releases/texas-gang-members-imprisoned-massive-drug-trafficking-operation
@docwho10th88 Everything I wrote is pretty easy to research and verify. I am neither a liar nor naive.
@michaelduffee6402 😂you're a lier . Not even close. Go back to California
I heard about scorpions, alligeries, taxes , traffic, untilies. These are common to any city in any state. I lived on North Padre island in the 90s. My business took ke around the US, so Ive been gone a long time. I really enjoyed living on a canal home, fishing from my dock, boating the intercoastal, going to the beach. I really enjoyed the seafood and Joe Cottons BBQ. Im actually considering moving back since i recently retired. Ive lived in mostly large Metro areas including Las Vegas. Corpus Christi is a small city/ big town and thats part of its appeal. Lastly, i have very personal connection. My first ancestor came to America in 1720. Captain Blas DeLa Garza Falcon has a statue of him on horseback on the bay front. Im as Texas as you get.
You following me?!? 😂. I also lived in Corpus in the 90s, my career took me away and I lived in Vegas for 6 years. Corpus isn't a high end town, but it's a very cost effective laid back coastal area with great fishing. I'm a decade from retirement and I'll settle in the Corpus/Rockport area.
@@JakeValentineStory smart man
Just so everyone knows I absolutely love living in Corpus Christi Tx, I’m not bitching about it, I’m just letting people that are moving from out of state what they can expect weather and taxes differences and so on because these are questions I have been asked several times before by clients moving from out of state to Corpus Christi TX
if your video kept 1 Californian from moving here to our state - then God bless you... the point you make about people holding doors, and being civil and polite in conversation - with a bigger city and still yet a small town feel - gotta love that. and you're right -that's not for everybody...
@@joez7407 I don't discriminate on who or were people move from I just want them to know a little bit about were they are moving to.
Well then maybe the title , I can’t stand cc was a little misleading🤦🏻
Only upper middle class and above enjoy Corpus. You don't have to live in the filth.
No worries Brother...your just telling it like it is, warts and all...like any TRUE Texan will tend to do from time to time. I to am a Son of Texas and Proud of my State...but it's always good to know where ya have room for improvement and in this age of Interwebs and such vocalizing these truths is more akin to(and more effective) going to a City Hall to redress your Opinion and grevience.
I pay attention to someone who recognizes the areas that need improvement and warnings from someone who loves where they hail, more than someone belly aching just to get clicks. You don't impress me as such. God Bless Texas
I live here in Corpus Christi all my life. Yes the taxes are very high. Also this is known for pothole city and the seawall is always full of dog poop and gum. They don’t even clean it. It’s a shame that it has a beautiful name Corpus Christi, the body of Christ, but they treat it like trash like I said, pothole city.
Yes, unfortunately we do have a lot of potholes, but I have been in other places here in Texas that the streets are just as bad if not worse
the American side of Mexico 😅
Crime in corpus is crazy n they love robbing out of town people stay far way it’s scary here
The cost of living is waaaaaaaaay cheaper than N.Y and Cali. You can buy 2 houses here for the price of one in CC. That is what two of my friends did when they retired. One retired on the Island from NY and loves it. Who in hell loves to shovel snow? lol
Yes cost of living is manageable here especially if on a fixed income.
One of the biggest reasons I wouldn't move to Corpus Christi is the thread of a bad hurricane. That's one of the reasons why I moved from Florida too. I prefer to live in San Antonio TX. But I do love visiting the Corpus area. I absolutely love padre island.
Just build impact and wind walls, you'll be fine.
there are no hurricanes here, i have lived there for 18 years and only 1 has hit, and even then where i lived it was just rain and wind, that's about it
Two seasons: hot & cold. You just described Texas, period. It's no surprise. It beats the tar out of shoveling snow; trust me.
Yes it does!!!
Austin's great! I'm working here for a little while at the new Tesla factory, but you don't realize how great Corpus is until you're away.
I been living in Corpus Christi for 28 years, my last 2 children were born here, the oldest born in El Paso TX there was horrible, I move here because I had family here that I did not see for 20 years since my parents separated, I love to live here, I live in the south side, it’s great houses are not so expensive, I got my house 21 years ago, I was a widow with 3 small children, the neighbors and neighborhood are great, when I got my house was great, now I remarried, and I still living in the same neighborhood, love it, I can’t make it in a bigger place and I have great doctors, H‑E‑B’s, Walmart’s, the only thing is the heat in summer but I don’t get out until is dark, everything is close SA is 2 hours away, Houston 4h, I think it depends if you like beaches, parks, rivers, museums, we have that, we have community college’s and T&M CC University, it’s not expensive my children went there and I too. Thanks
Yes Corpus Christi Tx it’s a great place to live
Great Video, I grew up in Corpus and live in Oregon now.
Neighborhood roads filled with pot holes in every neighborhood.
You better speak Spanish if you want a job.
homes and energy are very cheap but wages are horrible.
Homeless camps are much fewer in Corpus but Knife crime and break-ins are more common so you must conceal carry and fence or gate your property.
Roaches are the size of cats so you better call Orkin.
Stay away from the West Side its little Mexico down there not safe.
I still Love the Gulf Coast and come visit multiple times a year, Texas is a much better place to live half the year than Oregon that's for sure.
Yes Corpus Christi Tx dose have its problems, But all in all it's still a great place to live.
Lmfao yasssss hahahahahahahah reading this comment I’m like Yup, YUP, YUP YUP 😂😂😂😂😂 I hate it here but my husband refuses to move so here i am!!! Lol
Thanks for info
I was born in Laredo TX and my folks moved to Robstown TX. Then moved to corpus. And it was good fishing Padre island. Only thing bad is work.
22 yr old man who was born and still lives in cc and it’s for sure one of the best ocean front city in America . I personally like a smaller community where we all look out for eachother and corpus is perfect. It’s not small and it’s not big , but we can all see it’s been growing constantly for 5 years straight. Our ocean drive has been re-done now thier buildimg more off Yorktown heading into flour bluff . I’m the next 5-8 years corpus population will almost double
Lol, been here 52 yrs and I highly doubt it will grow that fast or grow period.
@@sylviacrafts6704 well idk what side of corpus your on but here on the south we got a new Del Mar campus , a whole new retail section off Yorktown . A whole new housing division where the botanical gardens are. They’re redoing all the schools . All new freeways, a new bridge a new school in flour bluff , all to fit a bigger infrastructure.nothing can get built towards the water. Have you seen the new massive apartments on ocean drive that are fully stacked. Go by London highschool and see how much it has grown . Corpus is definitely going to be bigger after all the roads and bridges are done. Which is another 3-5 years. We’re an ocean city that connects all the way from Portland , way out leopard to the island. We just don’t have the clout that Dallas H-town or SA
Thank you for your input we are diffantly expanding.
Dude one of the best ocean fronts 😅😂😂😂 what are you smoking !
@@jeanjacket4238 you can see from ocean , across the bay to our refineries. You have the island that your allowed ti drive in the beach . You obviously never seen the sun set and rude from the gulf , go downtown on a sunny afternoon with no clouds and try not telling your self it’s beautiful asf
I really wish I could move to Corpus Christi to live there. Unfortunately that's not possible, but at least I can spend my next vacation there. In October I will visit this beautiful city for 14 days.
Well I think you will enjoy yourself here I’m going to be doing shorts on places to eat and go.
@@livingincorpuschristitx Thanks, that would be a great help 👍
Hello hello, it’s okay to buy a property closer to the school or with no school around? Thanks.
As a native Texan, we should do a PSA like this every year for every town and city in Texas targeted specifically at people thinking about moving here from California.
Corpus is so ugly man, streets are really bad. The city stinks. The beach suck and not a good looking one but I also understand the ppl that come from the upper cities because they don’t have a beach and they get excited. But there is many more reasons Corpus Christi sucks. I recommend the upper cities like San Antonio, Austin, Dallas,Houston just to name a few. Other than that the weather is perfect in my opinion. House prices and apartment prices are competitive. And some good places to go so you won’t get bored.
I was born in San Antonio, but had a lot of relatives there 10 yrs. It's so difficult to judge Corpus. Every town has troubles
Thank you so much!!!
You're welcome!
I been living in Corpus Christi for 27years and it's not bad at all. But if you are going to move to Texas . You I'm would want to live in Flour Bluff because it is not that hot cuz it is close to the water and if you live in the city it is hot
I live in the Flour Bluff area and I also the like being close to the water and some my favorite fishing holes.
I'm from Montana & we go from 110 degree summers to -40 degree winters. & im thinking of moving my family to CC. I just want good food, & culture 😅
CC is not so bad. Born and raised. Slow compared to the bigger citys. Weather not to dramatic. 40 is cold to us. Once you've seen better you realize how behind we are. Still not super bad move unless you're trying to be rich. Opportunities for big dreamers is a killer here. Realize were you are. If you you make 6 figures your money goes so much further here compared to CA! Goodluck......
Corpus is a great place to start a business and grow your self.
I live in Austin but i take my family there atleast 4 times a year. CC is lucky they can chose their electric company. Austin has only 1.
“It’s 70 but it’ll rain so it feels cold”
Me watching this video from Idaho where we are -30 in the winter 🤨
My first real job after college was working on Mustang Island and living in Corpus Christi…The absolute best time of my life was being out there.. I was a 21 dude From South Carolina so the heat just felt like home. Real Texans my age and older rolled out the welcome mat for me. Still pals with many peoole in Corpus…Been many years ago but my biggest regret was leaving there. Same company sent me to another site. I spent time in Dallas, Houston and many other cities and literally fell in love with the whole state.. Great People! Great Brisket!
Nicely done bub. Living along the Texas gulf coast is a unique experience. But ya missed one BIG positive for Corpus...
USS Lexington. How many cities have a museum ship? Much less an Aircraft Carrier. It would be better for me if they put the Texas in Galveston, but i would like to see her and the Lex together down there.
Anyway, thx for the vid.
Oh... and the state aquarium, they are doing some good work there.
The title says don't move to Corpus Christi but all the things you mentioned aren't that bad.. scorpions are more of an outskirts deal I've never had to check shoes in town for scorpions.. I do anyways bc I'm allergic to bites in general. Been here the majority of my 44 yrs and I love it here. .. it does get hot tho . As far as gang and violent crime, well , that's everywhere any place.. my teen and hs years were in the 1990s. here in cc , the gang shootings didn't become a constant weekly issue because Corpus Christi is small enough that nobody really got away with it for the most part and it's small enough City that whoever did the shooting couldn't go anywhere without seeing the pain and sadness of the family on the news everywhere they went.
Like you said very common to bump into people that you know at the grocery store. It's hard to be a hardened dangerous gangster and wave good morning to the crossing guard while courteously opening the door for someone's grandma and smiling... Besides , once Xbox and PlayStation hit the market all the OG gangsters quit going outside and stayed couch potatoes... Lol
I've lived here 54 out of my 57 years . I'm fine with my city.
Yes corpus is a great place to live.
I just moved here from upstate NY, there are a lot of unexpected differences I'm experiencing!
Yes I'm sure it is a culture shock for you. I just hope you find it as wonderful of a place as most do.
Good or bad? I'm supposed to go out there from NY too
@@derickroman500 Good definetl! There's a calm/island-time vibe around the entire coast. Easy going people, and people feel safe around here.
Used to live in Portland and work in rockport. We loved corpus and want to go back. We’ll be back when the bridge is finished lol
I don’t live in CC but we visit 2 times a year, April and late August. I love the vibe, you’re right, friendly and a slower pace, but not too slow.
I am thinking 🤔 of moving to Corpus Christi. I currently have a paid for home in the little village of Los Lunas NM 20 minutes south of Albuquerque NM. Which will be rented for $1,500. Any advice is welcome 🙏
Hey Armando sure I could talk to you to see what we can do shoot me a email to info@livingincorpuschristitx.com with your info and I’ll reach out to you and we can discuss options.
Corpus is like the armpit of texas Midland Odessa but with a bay lmfao
Live outside Albuquerque, we go from -40 to +130, our monsoon season is between its 120-135f with 80-100%+ humidity, and month long sustained winds of over 60-120mph
Sounds like corpus christi is on easy mode
That's dry heat in the desert you are talking about. 95 percent humidity and 105° in CC is much worse. It does not cool down at night.
@@LemonySnicket-EUC we have a monsoon season as well, mid August
Been living here for 42 years. Not too big and over crowded while not too small w/ plenty to do.
You are 100% correct, but it is growing and yes there is plenty to do here.
How's the quality of the internet providers and tap water?
Grew up there ,,lived there on an off ,but moving back since I reired .Live in OKC now we get hail,tornadoes ,ice storms ,even the cold spell we had here it was 5 ,10 ,16,low compared to Corpus 15 ,21 ,30 .Gets hot here but I can deal with the heat in Corpus always a good breeze.
Yes Corpus Christi usually has a good breeze
Can you plz suggest some good schools here
I can’t say but if you go www.niche.com you can lookup schools in Corpus Christi.
@@thekhanzz The Calallen , Flour Bluff and London districts are better than Corpus Christi district,all of them are still in the Corpus city limits.
We will be shifting to corpus christi in a few months, i am really not sure if its a good decision with kids below 10 years. And i have seen many videos on crime rate too
Having moved to Corpus from Houston, I can tell you the humidity is MUCH worse in Houston. In Corpus, its effects are reduced by the pervasive breezes off the bay. We can sit comfortably outside in August at 6:00 PM. Sure, it's pretty warm, but it's entirely doable. You wouldn't dream of trying that in Houston until late October.
My main issue with CC is the medical - it's total crap compared to Houston, or even Victoria. Six-month wait to get in with a new GP. Specialists that won't see you without a referral, and then won't take referrals from out-of-town doctors. Cancer doctors who can't get you in for two months after a positive diagnosis. An orthopedic group whose computer system can't deal with you seeing two of their specialists on the same day. Forms filled out on-line, then you have to fill out the same forms again in person when you get there. And on and on. Small wonder lots of people travel to San Antonio or Houston for their medical.
Oh yes, and the streets - horrible, just horrible. Also, my allergies in CC are about 80% better than they were in Houston. Don't get me started on Houston traffic vs. Corpus.
I’m retired Military and am considering moving to Corpus.
What’s it like for military people as myself
CC is a military city. You will find plenty of like minded.
I would move to Corpus just to talk to this guy! He's straight up and full on Southern, which is something I was concerned about since Texas is Texas, and whether or not you actually get Southern is a flip of the coin.
I lived in Galveston and San Antonio. Galveston was a bit of a dump and poorly run, while San Antonio had a great feel to it, and I loved the food. Neither felt Southern, but Galveston occasionally did. If you were at a coffee house and someone got a call on their phone they would often step outside to talk. That NEVER happens outside the South. I've been thinking of moving to Corpus since 1985, this may be the year it happens.
they have asps which sting like hell in bramble near ditches and sides of banks of roads. they also have a native tarantula spider which has a body like a small marble and It might need to be protected.
The drivers stink down here. People get insurance just long enough to get their drivers license then drop it. Don't park near anyone because your car will get banged up and ruined by some drunk.
There are some but it’s like that in a lot of places.
I moved hmto CC in June and my car was hit in September
@@Lavonne1 which place is safe and good for schooling ( schooling with diversity), i am planning to move in CC with kids under 10, I am nerves, if it is a good move
@Fayyaz Ahmad I can only speak from my perspective. I'm a single black man, Christian, veteran, and senior designer. I lived in CC from June 2022 to Jan 2023.
A little Hispanic girl was shot and killed right in front of her father on New years look it up. It looks like 90% Hispanic. Probably more than 50 to 60. For me, as a black man, it wasn't that friendly. I lived on Ennis Joslin Street. I don't know the area, but it seems like the island part of CC is the nicest. I've driven through it once. Could be wrong, but that part seems to be white. But I didn't see many people when I drove through. I think the closer you get to the island and / or the shoreline, the nicer. Diversity? I mean, if something is 90% Hispanic, does that mean diverse?
The drivers are horrible. There are no jobs in my field here. That is just my field. It's extremely 🔥 🥵. I'm a home body and don't get out that much, but it seems like the streets of most of the city are bad. Tore up except the nice neighborhoods. It's impressive, lol. The bugs are bad. My suggestion is to coat yourself. Tons of construction 🚧. If you're moving from out of state, excuse my language, and you will be rped with car registration. It's amazing and I have a 10 year old car. If you're coming from out of state, it's backward. You need to register or have a car before you can get a license. ???????????? It is literally backward.
The food is not that great. Service is not good. I may return or even buy land. If I do, it will be on the island. But i love water. I would live on the island or Port of Aransas. I think Port of A, which is next to CC, is the CC experience I think I wanted.
Listen to the police scanner. I do. You gonna be around brown people. It's a Hispanic area. Are they accepting of others... ?????????. I'm not sure if you are Indian or Arab. I'm moving to Farmers Branch, tx.
I have never seen so mean Indian and Arab people in my life. So head here if you are. It's like most of population.
Long story short ... try the Island part of CC or Port of Aransas. Those certainly mad expensive.
@@Lavonne1 thanks mate for the feedback, i can understand
Me and my husband have lived in. Arkansas pass Texas. In. 2015 and we fled hurricane Harvey in 2017. And went back to east,Texas. And lived up there until 2020. And then we moved back to Arkansas pass,tx at the end of. 2020. And we have been here ever since. And in a couple of months we will be moving back to east ,tx. To a little town called Chandler,tx. It's a nice quite little town...me and my husband. Love it here but we do not like the hurricanes....
Nice video and good info! Originally I’m from a small town in the Midwest and am currently in Phoenix for work. Visited Corpus last year and really liked it. I might end up moving there within a year. Phoenix is way too hot in the summer, cold in the winter, crowded, polluted, dusty and the traffic is awful! I’m finally done with living in LA east as many call it here. The people in Corpus sound like where I grew up (very friendly and down to earth) and not like the people in Phoenix who seem to be from big cities (mostly LA and Chicago) with no idea what living in a smaller town should feel like.
Everything you mentioned is facts. However, I love this city. It's funny because I'm from the most popular city in the world... New Orleans. It's just Corpus is more laid-back. But I do miss the state income
New Orleans is ghetto. It just surpassed Chicago & Baltimore as the murder capital of America
If you have a boat and love to fish or a stash of surfboards and love to surf (May-August not so much) or just love the Beach and friendly people then you will like it in CC. Seafood lovers paradise for sure!
I moved in 7 years ago. I live on the south side at the end of Cimarron. Its a great place to raise kids. Compared to Alice (my home town) its a great community.
That is great area to live.
I LIVE HERE AND THATS A BEAUTIFUL PART TO LIVE
@@jahvincikingdamani4718 we dont even have to leave our immediate area. We have everything we need
@@southtxroughneck113 IT WAS MEANT TO BE THAT WAY DUE TO THE INNER CITY CRIME THAT HAS PLAGUED CC SINCE THE MID 90’S
@JAHVINCI KING DAMANI Sadly, crime is everywhere. And ppl cant drive for shit lol
Scorpion i'm from South Texas ain't never seen a scorpion in my life
Good video
Living in Kingsville for decades. Everybody is friendly.
Yes I absolutely agree I like going over there sold several homes In Kingsville and Rivera all nice folks
I want to build a home in my Hometown Sarita, and a house in corpus too.
Lives in CC 38 years since birth I hate every minute of it. Hurricanes aren’t even an issue, bad streets, bad city management, one mall, one freeway, one type of restaurant chain, only thing to do with kids are movies and bowling and those are a 2 hour wait. SA is much better.
We tried to do what you are doing for Seattle. We had a movement we called “Lesser Seattle.” We told everyone that it rains all the time and is gray and depressing. We told everybody that the traffic was terrible, people were cold and unfriendly, and it was very expensive to live here. It didn’t work. People moved here by the thousands. Especially from California. Now it’s even worse here. I applaud your efforts to discourage people from moving to Corpus. I doubt you are fooling anyone though.
And you are correct. People are way too polite and friendly in Corpus. Makes you wonder.
I am a senior citizen and whenever I visit Corpus, young people are always holding the door and saying, “after you, Sir.” It’s very irritating.
spring pollen is a problem most everywhere, but as i remember, the wind off the gulf blows inland, blows the pollen away
I was stationed there in the late 70s, the best part was the so called winter, please, more like a mild fall.
I remember cock roaches were a problem and yes there are less bugs here in the north, but it can get hot here in the summer too.
good food, nice ocean breeze and no freezing, don't forget the dunes...
and many places to vacation/visit in Texas; it u a young fella, college g@ls from Texas A&M university.
bad storms, some bugs, humidity and there are a LOT more people compared to the 70s.
Funny thing. I've been in CC for 2.5 years and it's not a bad place. There's stupid people everywhere but all in all I have had Zero problems here. The traffic can suck but so what. It sucks everywhere. On the other hand there are entirely too many invaders coming here and it is getting crowded. Very crowded. But as long as I can find spots to fish I'm good. Okay one drawback. There is a horrifying lack of attractive women my age. I mean fat.. flabby.. wrinkled up old women. I'm from Dallas and this is a bitter pill for me.
I'm glade you’re over all experience with Corpus Christi Tx has been good!!! It is a great place to get away and be able to go fishing.
Hey after I was stuck in traffic for hours in Austin I swore I would never complain about our little traffic again and I haven’t since LOL so traffic is not that bad compare to other cities!!
You try something else I’m 5 foot6 140 pounds slim fit athletic body
And how do you look? I’m betting not like Tom Selleck. Maybe you should have brought your own woman with you. Or maybe you’re looking in the wrong places for the wrong reasons.
Invaders? You mean asylum seekers and immigrants, right? And your dna is all indigenous peoples. What you posted is racist.
I’m half way through and this has turned into tips for moving to corpus 😂
Nothing can be worse than Washington State... this sounds like paradise.
Tacoma WA.. 😬 the homeless, drugs and crime are only growing
Corpus is nice for a weekend drive down from San Antonio every once in a while but the water seems so dirty lately. The beach front near downtown and heading east is nice ngl. It does have a vibe similar to a lot of South Texas towns and cities that I love, but compared to say Biloxi Corpus has some things to work on. I would like to see Corpus be one of the better beach cities
Im from Corpus. I currently live further up north but ready to move back. Only thing troubling to me is how much its changed from the 80s & 90s (while I was there). Crime & drugs have escalated. And some places have been left to fall apart or so much constructions has made a mess of the place (heartbreaking to see). Other than the annual red tide. It used to be nice. We loved being close to water, the city didnt act like a big city, you didnt need a whole lot of money to have a good time, always something to do and you could go anywhere looking like a true beachbum & nobody really judged or cared. It was so laid back.
anything good to say about Rockport for retirement
How’s South Side? Thinking of moving there
Southside awesome it’s still lots of new construction over here. I’ve got a couple videos. Are we coming out next week and the week after on the southside
South side is best! I live here! Easy access to anywhere u wanna go
Corpus is beautiful. I just moved back after 5 years of being in Illinois. I was so homesick. But holy fc** what did they do to the roads??? This construction is awful.
Yes the construction is every were but they are trying to fix the neglected areas.
FYI: I am originally from NY (Long Island) and now live in Corpus Christi (I love it!) and I hold doors open for everyone always. Southerners do not have a monopoly on friendliness.
Lived in CC for 10 years, graduated from high school there as well. It was a good place to live in my stretch of the 1960's to early 70's. It lost its charm when responsibilities came in. Groceries and utilities became outrageously expensive when trying to live on hourly pay. I left in '77, and miss it somewhat....had fun there. In contrast with those good times, the city's social environment has really gone downhill. Infrastructure is suffering, too. However, there's still something for everyone there. Just don't plan on getting rich if you stay a wage slave.
Thinking of moving from San Antonio and surprisingly this sounds more like living in Dallas 😂
Yes I’m working with Travis and Levi from living Dallas team on making content for my team here in Corpus Christi Tx
Are you looking in the Corpus Christi area if so we would be glad to help you find what you’re looking for.
The crime rate if you mean ngl (I’ve lived here since I was 2)
Dallas wages are superior to CC, but housing will eat your lunch. The DFW area is one of the fastest growing in the country.
Ive been to Corpus a few times i have a lady friend there the people there are polite but was confuses me is the directions of east and west especially on SPID Throws me off every time I come there
It's not where you live, it's who you live with that matters
I live in Corpus, the real problems are our city's leadership is corrupt and in the back pockets of big business. All that money is hexed...
💯
I know I can’t be the only one who thinks all of these “don’t move here” videos are made by folks that just want to keep out of towners away from “their” hidden gems 💎!!! My black ass is moving to CC ASAP! 😂😂😂
CC is racist. ⚫s are only 4% of the American population.
Do they still have Jalisco taquerias?
Sorry bro but I live in NE Oklahoma and we have the same list as you except we get actual cold winter. We have hella bad allergies hence the name “Green Country”. We have horrible humidity for about 4 months of the the year, and with that comes the mosquitoes. I kill at least 2 scorpions a year and my home is 30 years old. We do have state income tax in OK, but our cost of living is lower up here. My son is moving to Victoria this month so I will be seeing the Texas border area a lot more.
I did not hear anything negative about Corpus in this video. Actually, it made me look forward to visiting
I grew up in Corpus Christi. Moved to California and never looked back.
CC just didn’t work for me.
I've lived in Corpus Christi all my life except for a four year Navy stunt.
I must admit we have the worst drivers in America, and if you like living in a sauna then this is the place for you.
Yes the humidity here makes it seem so much worse at times.
I live in San Pat co and I chose my electric company, you really don’t have to use their power
My mom lives in San Patricio County and has NEC
It may have changed my mom lives in Papalote and it is actually in Bee county and when she moved there the only option was San Pat Electric, may have to talk to her to see if she can shop her rates. It may also depend on what part of the county she lives in, not sure I will have to check it out.
I live in Taft and I have Reliant for my electric provider.
It sounds wayyy better than Albuquerque that's for sure. My Grandfather is from Corpus Christi never really talked much about growing up there other than the weather being horrible.
Its a great place to live the weather here is not that bad you gust have to climatize your self to it we do have a lot of wind and humidity here.
Have you lived in the city all your life Me Too! Since 94
I moved here from Rockport in 95 been inTexas since I was 3.
Don't care much for corpus so decided to live in Portland tx across the bridge.
I just love his accent ❤
Thank you for watching the channel.
What accent? Lol but really, it’s much more tame than most Texans
@@quintonbottoms5766 I can hear it. Reminds me of my grandma she lived in Shepard Texas right above houston. I lost her to covid. His voice brings me a lot of joy
Why is the population of Corpus Cristi declining?
70 dagrees is shirtless weather in Michigan
I’m retired vet living in Tokyo but I’m planning on my back to the states. I’m more concerned with the crime rate
Are you going back to the States due to home sickness? I have always wanted to visit Japan.
@@actual_doge3221 not homesick but I’m getting older and I don’t want to die here. The other issue is the U.S government taxes Americans living overseas and I get taxed by the Japanese government as well.
How easy it it to live in Corpus Christi if you don’t have car just a bike?
Depends on your needs🤗
Honestly Corpus is one of the best cities I have ever lived in. I got stationed there, and ended up staying another 3 years.
Wait, did you say scorpions, 🦂, bro I love arachnids 🕷, I’ll probably have my room filled with those whenever I move down there😂, dude to me I see a scorpion as the perfect pet for me because their so much fun to observe and watch whenever I'm in my room.
Thinking about move here currently living in new zealand so it would be a completely new experience
If you have any questions please feel free to ask will be happy to help
You’re going to br absolutely upset
