Where is Galveston Island located?
Galveston is a barrier island on the Texas Gulf Coast in the United States, about 50 miles (80.5 km) southeast of the metroplex of Houston. The rich culture and activities of Houston are close enough to enjoy at any time.
Do you recommend living on or off the island?
That answer is different for every person. Do you want to live in a historic resort town where there is always something to do and every home has a story and is unique? Do you want to live in a small tight-knit community with traditional homes and neighbors? Do you want to live closer to a metroplex and all that it has to offer? We encourage you to research the areas from South Houston to Galveston, they are all very different.
