139 Apartments for Rent

After an incredibly destructive hurricane passed through Aransas Pass in 1919, a seawall was built as added protection from future storms. As a side benefit, the shrimping and fishing industry developed and prospered in the area and gave the city the boost it needed to persist, prosper and grow into the tourist, artist and "Winter-Texan" destination it has become!

Just 20 miles northeast of Corpus Christi, the city of Aransas Pass has 8,282 extremely happy residents living in a 52.4-square-mile expanse of waterways, island and land, located along the gorgeous South Texas coast. Surrounded by Redfish Bay to the east, Aransas Bay to the northeast and Copano Bay to the northwest, this stunning community is surrounded by a natural panoramic vista of breathtaking sunrises and sunsets!

Moving to Aransas Pass

This beautiful city has some stunning neighborhoods that can be difficult to locate if you aren't sure what you are looking for. Having a local apartments locator assist in your search would be very beneficial in an area such as this. It also tends to warm up around here in the summer time, so shade trees (as they are fondly called) are as important as air-conditioning and iced tea! What else is important? Having all the right papers, of course! Copies of your ID, rental history, letters of reference and a credit report are just some of the basics to have on hand.

Neighborhoods of Aransas Pass

Below are three descriptions of the best neighborhoods Aransas Pass has to offer.

City Center: Looking for property rentals in Aransas Pass that are located within a coastal, suburban neighborhood featuring small- to medium-size rental homes? City Center is a pedestrian-friendly area (although if you plan to go any further, a car will be needed) located between S. Avenue A and the waterfront of Redfish Bay. This is an older, well-established area of town and features many properties that were built between 1940-1970, boasting enormous Live Oaks that provide ample shade for the area.

Shell Ridge: This neighborhood is considered rural by population standards, but don't let that fool you, this is one of the coolest spots to be along the Gulf Coast. If you are looking for home rentals in a neighborhood with some unique characteristics, this is the one for you. Thick with Live Oaks, the wind blows onshore with such predictability that the trees have literally been shaped by it! Each grove grows in the same direction, leaves and branches bent around to one side, perpetually growing with the wind.

Country Acres Colonia / The Falman Colonia: A suburban neighborhood located just a minute off of Hwy 35, this popular area surrounds the Coastal Bend Hospital and the Care Regional Medical Center. It is pedestrian friendly if you are just going to stay in the area, but beyond a quick walk or jog for pleasure and exercise, everyone drives their own cars to and from work. The typical home size ranges from adorable studios to large three- and four-bedroom homes.

Living in Aransas Pass

Aransas Pass is known for its world class fishing, kayaking, kite boarding and seafood! Everyone finds the area irresistible for its laid-back vibe.

One of the best, most scenic restaurants in the city is an absolute local favorite, Parrot Island Bar & Grill, located on State Hwy 361. Best views, outstanding cuisine, terrific staff and incredible ambiance combined into one phenomenally remarkable and memorable restaurant you will frequent with surprising regularity!
