We have some friends who are thinking about buying a home in Rockport and commuting to Corpus. Yes, we will be moving to Calallen the end of Sep or early Oct. We did not check out Rockport so we cant help them with info so thought I might ask the forum folks.

I've worked with two people who commuted from Rockport to downtown CC and neither complained about it. I think it's about a 30-minute drive and traffic wouldn't be bad unless you were trying to get to the Southside. Even then it would probably be "bad" for 10 minutes or so.

I don't think the commute would be a problem if you are used to a 30-45 min trip but we rejected Rockport because of the crime rate. For a community that small we thought it was pretty bad.

I believe Marlow is right...probably about a 30 min. drive. I have heard good things about Rockport. The homes there are a lot more expensive than CC. So, if they want to live in a more expensive seaside community then it may be for them. I personally have become spoiled since moving here...I have a 15 min commute to work, live on the southside and work atthe base. When I lived in AZ I had a 40 min commute, so this is paradise.
