Port Aransas is great place to live, vacation, and make an investment. Established as a Mustang
Ranch in 1853, Port Aransas is still a small town in terms of permanent residents. The quaint and relaxing town has only a population of about 4,000. Over the past three years, the real estate market has been very active here. The strongest appeal for buyers may be its beautiful beaches, spread across about 6 miles along Mustang Island's gorgeous coastline. The majority of properties sold in Port Aransas are second vacation homes and short-term rentals. Port Aransas appeals to a wide range of buyers - families, "empty nesters", snow birds, and retirees, thanks to its tropical climate, clean and wide sandy beaches that you can even drive on, and superb fishing opportunities.
