Cinnamon Shore North

The original Cinnamon Shore — Mustang Island's seaside village

The original phase of Mustang Island's traditional seaside village — pastel cottages, custom homes, and condos gathered around pools, lawns, and an established town center with on-site dining and shopping, joined to a managed stretch of Gulf beach by private boardwalks.

The Village Life

Cinnamon Shore North is the established phase — the town center, dining, pools, and event lawn have been running for years, and the community calendar stays busy year-round (Sip & Shop, Easter Weekend, and a full summer slate). Rentals here carry a strong track record, including large group homes, with Gulf-front options at the top of the market.

For buyers weighing North against South: North is the proven, finished village; South is where the new construction and homesites are. Many owners choose on resale-versus-build preference alone.
