Bee County sits in South Texas with Beeville as its county seat. Founded in 1857, it developed as an agricultural and ranching center but also hosts Coastal Bend College, giving it an educational presence. Beeville’s historic courthouse square anchors the community, while smaller towns like Skidmore and Pettus dot the countryside. The area is largely rural-to-small town, though Corpus Christi lies just 55 miles south, making it accessible to a larger metro. Housing includes modest single-family homes, ranch houses, and some newer subdivisions in Beeville. Prices for existing homes run $150,000 to $230,000, while rural tracts for building generally range $6,000–$12,000 per acre.
