London

Homes in London
Most residential construction in the London corridor dates from 2010 to the present. Planned subdivisions feature modern stone, stucco and brick single-family homes on quarter-acre to half-acre lots, while surrounding county tracts offer custom homes and barndominiums on parcels of one to ten acres or more. There is no coastal water frontage, though several developments include retention ponds or border rural creek beds.

Before you make an offer
Because properties in the London corridor sit on both sides of the Corpus Christi city limit line and extraterritorial jurisdiction, confirm whether a home connects to city water and sewer or relies on a rural water supply and an aerobic septic system. Ask which taxing districts and emergency services districts serve the parcel, and check whether unplatted acreage carries an agricultural valuation. Because the surrounding farmland is flat, review drainage easements and how the lot handles heavy rain.

A question Marci hears
Are London properties inside Corpus Christi city limits or in the county?
Both exist along the FM 43 corridor: some subdivisions are annexed into the City of Corpus Christi with municipal utilities, while neighboring tracts sit in unincorporated Nueces County. Check the property's tax parcel and utility providers before making an offer.
Good to know
Road expansions along FM 43, Yorktown Boulevard and Staples Street connect the London corridor directly into the Southside retail grid while keeping larger lot sizes on the edge of town.
