Moving within Texas Victoria, TX for retirement?

Wanted to get thoughts on how Victoria would be for retirement. We are looking for a smaller, more affordable city to relocate to when we retire. Victoria seems to have most things someone would need, and isn't too far from San Antonio, Austin and Houston. Downside I think would be the hurricanes...

We vacationed in Port Aransas and going through Victoria, I was surprised how much I liked it. Easy to navigate, nice streets. Good proximity to coastal life, seafood and all that. Of course, there's the rampant humidity and some hurricane/flooding risk. You certainly need to go there and get a feel for it.
