North Padre Island isn’t the typical beach scene of cheesy shops and tourist-filled walkways. Offering miles and miles of undeveloped beach and wilderness, this coastal land is perfect for those looking for an oasis to call home.
With its mix of sea, sand and entertainment, North Padre touts various recreational, cultural and lifelong hobbies and activities not often seen in big cities. Recognized as the longest stretch of undeveloped beach in the world, this Texas gem is much more than spring-breakers and party scenes.
From golf to fishing, windsurfing to sailing, the island has something for everyone. Home to the Texas State Aquarium, USS Lexington and, for football fans, Texas A&M Corpus Christi. Corpus Christi, a neighboring port town, is another highlight for home buyers. With its mix of history, nightlife and a passionate community, this town has everything, just right off the bay. The local market offers high-end residential housing for home buyers looking to experience a new and improved lifestyle. Warm, long summers and mild, short winters presents a solution for retirees needing an easier climate or for families wanting to escape the cold.
“The homes and lifestyle here are unlike any other.” Martha Wild, Realty Executives Realtor and Corpus Christi native, said. “The weather is mild and the sea is just out your backdoor. The mid-range and luxury market is strong and home values have continued to rise, year after year. There are plenty of opportunities to invest.”
Homes for sale in Padre Island include unique waterfront properties that fit the slower pace of life and scenery. Intricate detailing make up the interiors, while bountiful landscapes line the exterior, thriving in warmer weather. A one-of-a-kind home just recently listed even included hurricane strength windows, doors and 11 inch thick concrete and rebar exterior walls- all safety features that are rarely seen anywhere else in the world. The home protected its owners and community members during 2017’s Hurricane Harvey.
