This city is located on a barrier reef island of the same name, right at the entrance to Galveston Bay, an inlet on the Gulf of Mexico. Bridges and causeways connect this beautiful town to northwest neighbors of League City, Friendswood, Clear Lake, and Houston. This and other Bay Area communities share the recipe for an ideal quality of life that comes from a blend of rich history, beautiful landscapes, balmy year-round temperatures, limitless recreational opportunities (including several private and public golf courses), an excellent educational system and a thriving economy. Residents take advantage of the Bob Smith Yacht Basin, a popular spot to dock your boat that provides quick access to the Gulf of Mexico. It’s difficult not to enjoy this laid back waterside lifestyle that is within minutes of the urban conveniences of the big city. The city’s economy benefits from the regional medical facility, UTMB (University of Texas Medical Branch), serving as a port of entry and cruise ship destination as well as its tourist attractions. Incorporated in 1839, the city boasts a wealth of historic architecture, museums, landmarks and stories of pirates and Spanish explorers. Galveston Island is also a beach and fishing resort. Another area attraction is Moody Gardens, a family-oriented amusement park where visitors can swim at Palm Beach, explore the giant Rainforest Pyramid, observe marine life in huge aquariums and see movies at the IMAX 3D theater. Regular festivals and fairs (Dickens on the Strand, Mardi Gras), nature trails, water sports and numerous other recreational opportunities await visitors and residents alike. Residents take pride in the historical, recreational and fiscal advantages of living in this Bay Area community. Galveston real estate options consist of single-family detached homes for sale, estate properties, condominiums, townhouses and waterfront land lots.
