Many proposed lots will have unobstructed views of Corpus Christi Bay, some are fairway front, and the majority are waterfront lots on an extensive proposed canal system. Laguna Isles, formerly known as “Newport Landings” was the “Jewel in the Crown” in the former Newport Beach and Golf master-planned community. The balance of the development along with the golf course, which is managed by Troon Golf, was purchased by Texas billionaire investor Red McCombs and renamed Palmilla Beach Resort and Golf Club.

AREA AMENITIES
Port Aransas is a world- class fishing village and the only established town on Mustang Island, occupying eight miles of the 18 -mile long barrier island. Originally known as Tarpon , there are a number of fine restaurants, interesting shops and marinas. Port A is considered one of the three best beaches on the Texas Gulf Coast, along with Galveston and South Padre Island. The Port Aransas Ferry transports cars to Aransas Pass on the mainland daily 24/ 7. Each of the six ferry boats can transport 100 cars an hour. A causeway provides access from the south.

REGIONAL DESCRIPTION Geographically, South Texas is generally regarded as everything south of San Antonio, framed by the Rio Grande running the state’s western boundary and the Gulf of Mexico forming the eastern boundary. Three of the top five fastest growing cities in the U.S. are in South Texas; Houston, San Antonio and Austin. Corpus Christi is the next largest city in South Texas with approximately 280,000 people.
SOUTH TEXAS
Fishing is an important commercial and recreational activity in the Gulf. Offshore drilling rigs can also be found along the Gulf, as the continental shelf provides vast amounts of accessible oil. The majority (approximately 80%) of oceanfront property along the Texas Gulf cannot be developed, as it is comprised of federal and state parks, and includes approximately 150 miles of the Coastal Barrier Resources System. This represents a significant barrier to entry for future projects being contemplated along the Gulf. Regional transportation needs are met by a freeway network that includes Interstate 37, U.S. Highway 77 and U.S. Highway 59 which connects with Laredo to the southwest and Houston to the northeast. The city is accessed by two major bridges: the Harbor Bridge and the John F. Kennedy Causeway. Corpus Christi International Airport is situated five miles west of the Corpus Christi central business district and is owned by the City of Corpus Christi. The airport offers two runways, six gates and three major airlines (American, Continental and Southwest). The quality and affordability of oceanfront real estate in Port Aransas is one of the primary reasons people from all over the world who want a safe, relaxed lifestyle are buying primary and second homes on Mustang Island. Easy access to Texas’ major metropolitan areas, combined with clean beaches and excellent recreational amenities make Port Aransas and Mustang Island the preferred Texas location for coastal living. The area is particularly attractive to sport fishermen, given the abundant stocks of popular gamefish.
RESIDENTIAL MARKET
The vacation home market on Mustang Island and the Texas Gulf coast is closely tied to the major Texas markets of Houston, Austin, San Antonio and Dallas. The relative price stability in these markets has helped them avoid the extreme highs and lows seen elsewhere in the Country. Demand for quality residential development in the Port Aransas area along State Highway 361 has remained steady over the last several years. While there are a number of condominiums and small vacation home developments in the area, Laguna Isles’ primary competition comes from two nearby developments: The Palmilla Beach & Golf Club and Cinnamon Shore. Laguna Isles is also adjacent to the completed Island Moorings Canal and Marina Subdivisions.

REGIONAL DESCRIPTION
CORPUS CHRISTI
Corpus Christi is the county seat of Nueces County and overlaps into adjacent counties. The Port of Corpus Christi is the sixth largest U.S. port and the deepest inshore port on the Gulf of Mexico. The Port’s primary trade includes oil and agricultural products. Due to its proximity to the bay, a large part of the local economy is fueled by fishing and boating services and retailers. Tourism and military also drive a significant portion of the economy. Corpus Christi is located just inland from Mustang Island, which stretches from the Corpus Christi area to Port Aransas. The southern part of the Island is designated as a state park. Padre Island is the world’s longest barrier island. It occupies approximately 209 square miles and stretches approximately 130 miles long. Some of the most visited attractions in Corpus Christi are located on North Beach including the Texas State Aquarium and the USS Lexington. Other attractions include The Corpus Christi Museum of Science and History, the Texas Surf Museum and the South Texas Institute of Science and History. There are a number of professional sports teams in the area.
