Here's what you can get for $900,000 in Corpus Christi, Texas

Corpus Christi, Texas, is the kind of popular vacation destination that may look even more attractive as a place to live permanently than it did before because the new coronavirus has many city dwellers reconsidering their living situations.

But Corpus Christi isn’t just a beach town -- although the beaches are open. It’s also home to a major port visited by thousands of ships and barges each year, as well as a U.S. Navy airbase.

And while the coronavirus has slowed the number of homes hitting the market in the Gulf Coast community, the median sale price in the first quarter of 2020 was actually up 10.6 percent in the Corpus Christi metropolitan statistical area compared to the same period last year, according to Texas Realtors. And the number of closings was up 15.4 percent compared to a year earlier.

With summer unofficially underway, anyone looking for a beach home would need to act soon in order to get the most out of the season. So here’s a look at what you can get for $900,000 in the Corpus Christi area:
