Have lived in Portland about a year. We like the small country feel but very close to Corpus Christi and only 30 minutes from Port A depending on the ferry. Coming from the Midwest, we love the weather! The summers were always hot, muggy and humid where we moved from in MO and not much different here except you have a great breeze off the coast. We hope to stay for many more years. Lots of industry moving in and expect Portland will get built up eventually, but hopefully not too soon.
More activity related business would be ideal, like a skating ring, or bowling alley. There are many restraints to choose from, and a movie theater. Having more places open after 9pm would be great too. There are tons of parks, and waterfront areas for the kids to play, and picnics. The school district is good, and there are multiple elementary schools.
Portland is pretty much your average suburban town. Though there is not too much to do in Portland, you're only a short 10-15 minute drive to Corpus Christi, with beaches, malls, lots of retail stores, and lots of restaurants. The diversity, racial and political-wise, here is almost split 50/50 between Hispanics and Whites and conservatives and liberals. Socioeconomic wise, a good amount of people here are in the upper-middle-class or higher, with most of the rest being in middle to lower-middle class.
Here in Portland, safety is very good all around, especially in public schools. And on the topic of schools, the learning here is pretty average, nothing too special.
