Generations have grown up in Robstown
The birthplace of Texas Hold ’em poker and 20 miles west of Corpus Christi, the Nueces County city Robstown, has faced controversies. Despite this, locals recognize its residents’ hardworking spirit and rich heritage. With abandoned buildings being demolished and discussions about revitalizing vacant shopping centers, Robstown is on the rise, propelled by its resilient generational community. “Robstown is an older part of town that is up and coming and going through much revitalization right now,” says Stephen Fivecoat, a real estate agent with Exp Realty and resident of Corpus Christi.
It was built in 1928 and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Downtown Corpus Christi is also a great place to shop, dine and enjoy live music.

Community organizing and deep history
With deep roots as a farming and working-class community, Robstown earned the moniker “cotton pickers” as a nod to its past when 18 cotton gins dotted the town. While this reference may raise eyebrows among outsiders, locals view it as an emblem of their hardworking history commemorated at the Annual CottonFest Festival. Organizations such as Pride of Robstown and Cotton Community Partnership play crucial roles in rejuvenating the area. Adding to the community’s vitality, the Wesley Community Center consistently provides safe spaces for families, food assistance and fundraising initiatives.

Close to work and major highways
Robstown, surrounded by manufacturing industries, including the rail yard and Corpus Christi Stevens Plant, and found 16 miles from Refinery Row, is undergoing positive changes. Robstown has access to major highways, including Texas State Highway 44, US 77, and Interstate 69E. The Corpus Christi Regional Transportation Authority has several stops for ‘The B’ throughout the city. It is home to the Nueces County Airport, catering to single and light twin-engine planes; the sounds of landing engines are familiar. It’s also 10 miles from Corpus Christi International Airport and 6 miles from Corpus Christi Medical Center-Northwest. “It’s a blue-collar community with lots of people working in nearby manufacturing,” Fivecoat says.

Ranch style homes and Spanish Revivals close to schools
The city is designed in a grid layout, with long linear lots near schools, restaurants and parks. With proximity to the airport and major highways passing through, the city is always buzzing and a bit congested occasionally. Pickup trucks sit in the driveways of ranch-style homes and trailers, enclosed by barbed wire fences and front porches often decorated for the holidays. Open backyards make space for grills and outdoor sheds. While many homes have faced abandonment, a new project, Restoration Robstown, aims to clean up blighted and neglected homes while others have been renovated. Home styles vary with each corner’s turn; Spanish revival-style cottages have curved arched entryways and are personalized with the Lone Star stand along overgrown gardens. Some areas have sidewalks, others don’t, but much shade is provided atop the palm trees. Prices range from $65,000 for homes needing renovations to $250,000.
Big back yards are found in the Robstown neighborhood.

Grabbing lunch between work at Up In Smoke BBQ
East Main Avenue in Robstown caters to everyday essentials, featuring H-E-B and a dose of history at the Robstown Area Historical Museum. The deep red exterior of Barrera’s Fried Chicken draws locals during lunch breaks for their signature crispy platters. An unassuming maroon shack, Up In Smoke BBQ fires up stacked smoked platters of ribs and pulled pork. Along Highway 77, remnants of the once Outlets at Corpus Christi Bay stand as the Crossroads District. Although no longer in use, there’s talk of revitalization, presenting an opportunity for future growth. Calallen, located 6 miles north, is the go-to destination for big-box stores.

Make a splash at the community pool at Diaz Park
Nueces County North Park features many baseball diamonds, tennis courts, playgrounds and picnic gazebos. Though needing a little TLC, Diaz Park, Portella Park, and Bauer Road Park keep the city's kids entertained close to home. Diaz Park recently underwent a $277,000 renovation to its pool, bringing the community together after a few years without this cherished feature. Now reopened with waterslides, it is one of the go-to pools for surrounding areas. The Keach Family Library hosts storytelling events, movie nights and gardening classes. Six miles from the Nueces River, Robstown provides easy boating, kayaking and fishing access.
