Forget Florida, Retire To Texas' Gulf Coast County With Vibrant Cities, Island Beaches, And Affordable Living

When it comes to deciding on a place to retire, it is easy to look to Florida as it has a long history of being America's premier retirement destination. However, overcrowding and soaring living costs mean more seniors are looking elsewhere for a place to live out their golden years. Texas emerges as an attractive alternative; not only do retirees there still enjoy abundant sunshine and beautiful beaches, but the cost of living falls well below that of Florida. Nueces County is particularly affordable, while providing residents with beach access, plenty of entertainment options, and a vivacious, coastal lifestyle with a subtropical climate.

Re-striping will close several downtown Corpus Christi streets

Several streets in downtown Corpus Christi are planned to have temporary closures in the upcoming weeks while city crews re-stripe the roadway. The work will include portions of the high-traffic roadways Water Street, Mesquite Street and Chaparral Street. It is planned to be carried out in phases, with each phase expected to last for two to three weeks, according to a Nov. 6 city-issued news release. The work described below will be performed in this sequence, the email states. Striping for about 1.3 miles on Water Street, from Furman Avenue to the entrance of Interstate 37, is estimated to last about two weeks from Nov. 9, with a rolling one-lane closure and two-way traffic accessible, the email shows. After the work on Water Street, striping work for a little more than a half-mile on North Mesquite Street — a length spanning from John Sartain Street to where the roadway meets the end section of Interstate 37 — is expected to last about three weeks. The work will require “intermittent sectional closures,” according to the email. Construction: Road work will affect North Beach roadway through spring After the work on Mesquite Street, city officials plan for full overnight closures of Chaparral

Corpus Christi businesses brace for changes with Alameda construction

Businesses owners along Alameda Street have begun to see a 2022 bond project take shape, which some said has been long needed. Phase one of the Alameda Street Reconstruction Project officially started on Nov. 5 with westbound lanes currently closed off between Airline Road and Eldon Drive. The two-year project will completely rebuild Alameda Street between Airline Road and Everhart Road, replacing it with durable concrete pavement. The project will also include new curbs and gutters, sidewalks, Americans with Disabilities Act-compliant curb ramps, street lighting, signage, pavement markings and upgraded traffic signals. The construction will total $15.8 million. Business owners weigh in Alameda Street is popular for having a variety of businesses and restaurants that attract tourists and local residents every day. Gerald Flores, co-owner of Sew Bonita, said the business sees a daily average of 75% local customers and 25% customers from out of town. He said that after opening the store with his wife, Elena Flores, they realized Corpus Christi is a big destination spot. He anticipates a “handful” of people avoiding Alameda Street and going over to shop along South Padre Island Drive, but he doesn’t expect a significant drop in customer foot traffic due to social

Lawsuit against city manager expands to Type B board, city

Corpus Christi’s Type B board and the city of Corpus Christi have been added as defendants in a lawsuit originally filed solely against City Manager Peter Zanoni related to a settlement payment for hotel developers. The litigation, pursued by company Elevate QOF LLC, had initially been filed in August . However, the petition was significantly revamped in October. The newer filing alleges that the Type B board, the city of Corpus Christi and Zanoni are in breach of contract by lack of payment in a $1.5 million settlement. The City Council on Nov. 10 approved earmarking $100,000 in Type B funds for the board to hire its own attorney. The in-house city attorney’s office has a conflict in the case and has been recused, officials have said. The settlement had been approved by the Type B board — formally known as the Corpus Christi B Corp. — on Aug. 10 in exchange for terminating a controversial $2 million tax incentive agreement with Elevate, developers of a new Homewood Suites hotel downtown. In the petition, Elevate’s attorneys argue that the board is “contractually obligated to pay Elevate $1.5 million and has directed that payment be made,” but that city officials have

Flu cases in Nueces County more than six times higher than 2025

Local cases of flu and flu-like illness skyrocketed in October compared to the previous two years, according to data provided by the Corpus Christi-Nueces County Public Health District. Graphs on the agency’s website show flu cases last month jumping by more than triple the number in October 2024, and nearly six times more than in October 2025. About 177 flu cases were reported in October 2024, and about 103 in October last year, according to the data. Health: Vaccination levels lowest at these Nueces County schools October this year, meanwhile, showed 602 flu cases, health district reports state. The statistics on flu-like illness show an even more dramatic rise when comparing October 2024, October 2025 and October 2026, as outlined in the graphs.
