280 Apartments in Ingleside

One of the best things about Ingleside is its location on the Gulf of Mexico! Located within the city, on N. Sandpiper, locals and tourists can go out in small groups with the Dolphin Connection. The Dolphin Connection is the only place in Texas where visitors can go out and meet free dolphins, interacting with them in their natural habitat. If you are lucky, one might actually get curious enough about you to let you touch them -- it is an incredible experience!

This quaint and breezy coastal city was incorporated in 1951, but its history dates back to 1854 when Mr. Hatch purchased land on each side of the bayou along Corpus Christi Bay. What was once a sleepy little fishing village that farmed the Gulf of Mexico as well as the land and prospered from farming and cattle ranching, is now a growing city with 9,516 inhabitants! It has become a popular tourist destination for fishing, boating and vacationing for any and all holidays. So come and find the rental homes of your dream. You better hurry though, as this popular city has peak seasons where rentals are almost impossible to find!

Moving to Ingleside

Ingleside has many rural areas surrounding a central downtown or city center location. It is beautiful, quiet and filled with country roads that wind back through properties you'd never realize were there if someone didn't tell you about them. Your best bet for finding rental houses in Ingleside will be to ask a local real estate agent for some help. This is not really an area you can just drive around looking to spot 'for-rent' signs in yards -- unless, of course, you have an inordinate amount of spare time and a great GPS with you. If you are wondering what time of year is best to make your move, we suggest any time other than summer (end of May through late August). This is a huge tourist season and many vacant properties are leased out short term during the summer months for vacationers. Besides, that also coincides with hurricane season, so you might want to avoid that too!

Neighborhoods in Ingleside

Ingleside has two main neighborhoods covering 14.5 square miles of the densely wooded coastal region of South Texas. The center of town is the main neighborhood where people live and work, and where the tourists flock to during the summer season. The surrounding area is more rural and is home to many of the residents who prefer to have a bit of space between themselves and their nearest neighbors. Both are described below to help you get a feel for where you might prefer to begin your home search.

Tradewinds / Falman: Are you looking to find an apartment for rent in Ingleside that is surrounded and shaded by mature Live Oaks, with plenty of room between you and your next door neighbors? The Tradewinds / Falman neighborhood is considered remote by many standards, but the bonus here is that you are still close to the center of town -- it just won't feel like it! Densely packed with Mesquite, Live Oaks and Evergreens, this area features mainly small- to medium-size rental properties. Anywhere from one to four bedrooms is typical, and they come in stand alone homes, mobile homes and a few small complexes.

City Center: This suburban neighborhood is flanked by Redfish Bay to the east, and I-35 runs along its northern border. This is the heart of the city and where most of the activity is centered. If you enjoy being within walking distance of N.O. Simmons Park, which hosts the local skate park and is a local favorite hangout, then you should check out the area around the City Center.

Top Apartment Complexes

Downtown Ingleside Apartments: This apartment complex, located on Atlantic Boulevard, offers spacious one- and two-bedroom apartments with beautiful views overlooking the water. Hu D-at House of Noodle is just around the corner from Downtown Ingleside Apartments.

Sun Meadow Apartments: Also worth mentioning, just off of Hwy 361, these apartments are conveniently close to the highway for easy commutes. These are large one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments featuring private balconies and floor-to-ceiling windows that allow beautiful natural light to illuminate your home.

Living in Ingleside

Life in Ingleside can be described as laid back and casual -- more island-style living than anything else. Although many of the big employers in the area are of the industrial nature, the locals have a serious love, respect and intensely protective nature about the surrounding bays and wetlands. Fishing, deep sea or otherwise, is a huge part of life here. You will often see your neighbors sitting alongside tourists, casting their rods from the pier at Copano Bay or Redfish Bay and hauling in a feast!

When residents aren't working, fishing or just generally enjoying one type of water sport or another, you can find them indulging their taste buds at Hu D-at House of Noodle on Hwy 361.

Another local staple is called The Crazy Monkey Cafe. This unique and delicious lunch spot makes sandwiches, and when we say sandwiches, we are talking Panini's, toasted sandwiches, grilled sandwiches, breadless sandwiches and yes, Texas-sized salads! Between the amazing variety of cuisine, the beauty of the bays and wetlands and the relaxed atmosphere, you might just decide to stay forever!
