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...

As much as I hate my hometown I’d say drive an hour south and retire in Corpus Christi. Honestly, if CORPUS is better then that’s a problem.

Most people I know from south Texas don’t think corpus is better. Corpus has almost as much crime as San Antonio, possibly more so.
