Beeville is a southcentral Texas city where residents gather under Friday night lights to cheer on the high school football team. It is situated between San Antonio and Corpus Christi and home to three prisons operated by the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, the town's top employer. Many residents also work in education for Coastal Bend College or the local school district, and at Christus Spohn Hospital and Walmart. The population of 13,211 has remained fairly consistent over three decades, increasing just 2% since 2010 but dipping 6% from 2020 to 2023.
Lifelong resident and local Realtor Alexandra Reason, who has sold homes for Banker Pacesetter Steel Realtors for 12 years, says newcomers enjoy the city's neighborly spirit. "Everybody tries to chip in and help if something goes wrong, like that freeze [we had] a few years ago," she says, referring to an extreme cold front in 2021. "There were people in town helping each other get plumbing supplies. It's just a friendly place to live."

Shopping and dining in downtown Beeville
Although the city's name comes from Barnard Elliot Bee Sr., the insect with the same name has been adopted as a mascot. Colorful glass-blown bee sculptures are scattered throughout the historic downtown, near restaurants and shops. Reason says there are more places for youth to hang out than when she was young, like CC's Juice Smoothie Coffee Bar and the 1950s-themed BeeHop Yogurt Hive, which "looks like the diner in 'Grease'." The community supports local businesses and artisans at the monthly Beeville Saturday Market and annual Wine Walk in the fall.

Disc golf at Veteran's Memorial Park
Veteran's Memorial Park has an 18-hole disc golf course, while other parks have playgrounds and walking areas. Martin Luther King Park houses the municipal pool. At Kohler Park, which has a sand volleyball court and playground, Reason says, "My kids have the same reaction I did. It isn't fancy, but they have a lot of fun. For the people here, the parks hold a lot of memories. We don't have the fanciest parks, but we have things for kids no matter what they love."
