The towers aren't that good looking, but they're towers nonetheless. Never been that far down the Texas coast into Corpus, but I want to make the drive down from Oklahoma to South Padre sometime. I will definitely have to pay this city of about 400,000 a visit. Decent skyline, even better location next to the bay. Most people don't associate Texas with beaches and the ocean, but it's there, and pretty nice too! 6/10

I had no idea Corpus Christi was so large! And isn't it across the river from Portland, TX?

Not too pretty though. 5/10

7/10.

Every few months I like to spend the weekend in Corpus Christi and the nearby beaches. It is roughly a 2.5 hour drive from San Antonio. The area along Shoreline Blvd is beautiful and really well kept. There is a lot to do for a city of less than 500,000.

I recommend a visit.

I gave it an 8.5. Its a great skyline for a city its size. I've been to Corpus Christi and pictures are good but don't give it justice. Just my opinion from seeing it person. Its a good city to visit. Its got a lot going for it. I hope to go there again.

Hi, first time poster here. I love this site!

I live in San Antonio, and for a city the size of Corpus, its downtown skyline is not bad.

Unfortunately, those pictures above don't show up for me -- all I see are red x's. Going by the pictures I can see, though, I give Corpus Christi a 7 for a nice cluster of mid- and high-rises. The only real fault I can find is that the skyline seems a little small for a city of such size.

7, I do like the skyline like others have said for a City its size it isnt bad. Not to fond of the area thoe, Id rather take short trip up to Austin then go down to Corpus. Nice to see other from San Antonio are on these forums!

its a little larger than i thought, although still not than impressive in size or style sorry just being honest. its only an opinion so dont worry.I do think the two largest buildings do look somewhat interesting and different though. compared to other cites id probably give it a 2 but because of its size i give it a 7.5

Nice density for the size of the city but some of the architecture is a bit boring, or just plain ugly.
