32 miles of fun in the sun...
Galveston island epitomizes the Texas coastal attitude. Numerous beach
home communities are established along its western shores. If a historic
residence is preferred, Galveston has updated Victorian and Edwardian homes
along century old boulevards. Available housing includes beach homes, duplexes,
condominiums, apartments, and single-family housing. Prices vary depending
on location. |
| Places to play...
With 32 miles of beach front, beach parks and other water attractions the
favorite pastime is... the beach. But residents and visitors can also stroll
along the streets in the historic Strand area, or visit any number of museums
and historic points of interest.
