Homes in Flour Bluff
Established sections of Flour Bluff were built mostly from the 1960s through the 1980s, with single-story brick ranches, mid-century bungalows and manufactured homes on owned lots. Newer subdivisions have been added since the 2000s, along with coastal stilt homes and canal-front houses with private boat docks. Lot sizes run from 0.18 acres on interior streets to half-acre and one-acre-plus parcels on the bluff. Waterfront homes sit along canals tied to the Laguna Madre or look out across Oso Bay.

Before you make an offer
Flour Bluff sits between Oso Bay and the Laguna Madre, so check the flood zone and ask whether the seller has an elevation certificate. Ask for windstorm certificates on the roof, windows and any additions. On canal-front properties, have the dock, boat lift and shoreline structures inspected, and ask about water depth at low tide. In older pockets of the Bluff, confirm whether the property is connected to city sewer or uses an individual septic system.
Windstorm insurance and flood zones vary by property; Marci can point you to the right specialist. This isn't insurance or legal advice.
A question Marci hears
How quickly can you get a boat onto the Laguna Madre from Flour Bluff?
Public and marina boat ramps along the Flour Bluff shoreline put shallow-water boats and kayaks directly into the Laguna Madre in a few minutes, without crossing open Corpus Christi Bay.
Good to know
Flour Bluff sits right outside the main gate of Naval Air Station Corpus Christi, putting most streets within a ten-minute drive of the base and the JFK Causeway to North Padre Island.
