Pleasant and best option in Coastal Bend 4 rating By Anonymous ( Oct 31, 2025) Out of all the parts of the Coastal Bend, if you have kids, this is the place to live.

We have really great schools here, enough jobs to go around, beautiful natural scenery even in the more populated areas, nice homes, and great neighbors!

We also have the USS Lexington Museum, filled with interesting artifacts and historical objects, and the Dolphin Connection, where there is a museum devoted to learning all about these beautiful creatures as well as a gift shop. Living here is a wonderful experience. Read Less
