A great place to relax or have a little fun, Victoria is a community like none other - large town amenities within a tight-knit community. As the regional hub for a seven-county area known as the “Golden Crescent,” Victoria serves a retail trade area of over 250,000 people. It is known as “The Crossroads” because of its location within a two-hour drive of Corpus Christi, Houston, San Antonio, and Austin.
The city is home to the University of Houston-Victoria and Victoria College as well as many opportunities to experience exceptional visual and performing arts. Outdoor activities and leisure options are also plentiful with Victoria’s 562-acre Riverside Park, Victoria Paddling Trail on the Guadalupe River, golf, as well as boating or fishing at a number of surrounding lakes or coastal areas.
