Beeville is a southcentral Texas city where residents gather under Friday night lights to cheer on the high school football team. It is situated between San Antonio and Corpus Christi and home to three prisons operated by the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, the town's top employer. Many residents also work in education for Coastal Bend College or the local school district, and at Christus Spohn Hospital and Walmart. The population of 13,211 has remained fairly consistent over three decades, increasing just 2% since 2010 but dipping 6% from 2020 to 2023.
Lifelong resident and local Realtor Alexandra Reason, who has sold homes for Banker Pacesetter Steel Realtors for 12 years, says newcomers enjoy the city's neighborly spirit. "Everybody tries to chip in and help if something goes wrong, like that freeze [we had] a few years ago," she says, referring to an extreme cold front in 2021. "There were people in town helping each other get plumbing supplies. It's just a friendly place to live."

Getting to Corpus Christi and San Antonio
From Beeville, Interstate 37 runs 59 miles south to the Corpus Christi International Airport and 98 miles north to the San Antonio International Airport. Highway 181 also travels to both cities.
Shopping and dining in downtown Beeville
Although the city's name comes from Barnard Elliot Bee Sr., the insect with the same name has been adopted as a mascot. Colorful glass-blown bee sculptures are scattered throughout the historic downtown, near restaurants and shops. Reason says there are more places for youth to hang out than when she was young, like CC's Juice Smoothie Coffee Bar and the 1950s-themed BeeHop Yogurt Hive, which "looks like the diner in 'Grease'." The community supports local businesses and artisans at the monthly Beeville Saturday Market and annual Wine Walk in the fall.

Students attend the Beeville Independent School District
The Beeville Independent School District gets a B-minus rating on Niche. On Fridays in season, residents cheer on the A.C. Jones High School football team. "I would say the majority of the town is usually at the football game," Reason says. Coastal Bend College, a two-year community college with on-campus housing, has dual-enrollment classes for high school students. Courses like criminology and nursing are tailored to the local job market.

Disc golf at Veteran's Memorial Park
Veteran's Memorial Park has an 18-hole disc golf course, while other parks have playgrounds and walking areas. Martin Luther King Park houses the municipal pool. At Kohler Park, which has a sand volleyball court and playground, Reason says, "My kids have the same reaction I did. It isn't fancy, but they have a lot of fun. For the people here, the parks hold a lot of memories. We don't have the fanciest parks, but we have things for kids no matter what they love."

Beeville experiences hot summers and mild winters. Temperatures rarely exceed 100 degrees or dip below freezing, and winds of 10 mph are common throughout the year.
According to Beeville Police Department statistics, nonviolent crime slightly decreased from 2022 to 2023, while violent crime dropped 35%. Texas Department of Public Safety numbers show that Beeville's crime rate in 2023 was lower than in Corpus Christi.
The cowboy spirit during Western Week
Western Week, a decades-old festival, was nearly canceled in 2024 due to a lack of funding and volunteers. But the community rallied, and the tradition of live music, tamale-eating contests and beauty pageants returned. At The Texas Mile, a biannual race at Chase Field Industrial Airport, drivers attempt to clock the highest speed in one-mile races.
