Aransas County sits on the Texas Gulf Coast, known for its tourism, fishing, and birdwatching. The county seat, Rockport, is a beloved coastal town with a rich history tied to the shrimping and maritime industries. Hurricane Harvey in 2017 reshaped the county, but Rockport and Fulton have rebounded with new housing developments and a revitalized waterfront. The county is a mix of suburban-coastal communities and rural stretches inland. Housing options include stilted beach homes, waterfront condos, and more traditional ranch-style houses inland. Proximity to Corpus Christi (about 30 minutes away) makes it appealing for commuters and retirees alike. Home prices vary widely: smaller inland homes often start near $200,000, while waterfront properties can exceed $600,000. Vacant coastal lots for building are common, though prices depend heavily on water access.
