PEACEFUL COASTAL LIVING

-

Millions of visitors flock to the Texas Gulf Coast every year to stroll along its soft, sandy beaches and play in its warm waters. South Padre Island, Port Aransas, Matagorda Island, Bay Area Houston, and Galveston Island are just a few popular Texas beach towns for swimming, surfing, boating, kayaking, and water sports. Nestled on the shores of Matagorda Bay—far from the more touristy areas— lies Palacios (rhymes with splashes), a quiet beach town that calls itself the “most relaxing town on the Texas coast.” Here, you can stroll along miles of public waterfront, including on a seawall that stretches for one-and-ahalf miles between the Gulf and public parks. In addition to kayaking, jet skiing, and kite sailing, Palacios is a popular birding destinatio­n, with more species than anywhere else in the United States. Three lighted fishing piers are open 24 hours a day: you can watch for redfish, speckled trout, flounder, and other varieties. With a population of only 5,000, Palacios enjoys a slower pace of life compared to big cities like Houston, which is only about a 90-minute drive away. Traffic is minimal on water or on land, and you’ll find more undevelope­d coastline than you’ll find strip malls. However, if you want fine dining, you’ll still find plenty of options, especially for fresh seafood. And, you’ll also have no shortage of places to shop. Although it’s one of the most desirable places to live, finding a home on the Gulf Coast is a challenge, at best . . . until now. Beachside, a new planned coastal community, brings buyers select waterfront homesites, waterview homesites, and water-access homesites on Matagorda Bay. Whether you’re looking for a vacation home or a peaceful new forever home, Beachside provides the foundation for ideal coastal living. A private gated entrance gives you around-the-clock security, while undergroun­d utilities mean unspoiled views of the bay. Residents will also enjoy a full suite of planned amenities, including community piers, a swimming pool, tennis and basketball courts, a clubhouse, and boat/RV storage. Constructi­on of these amenities has kicked off. Beachside homesites start at only $19,880—if you act soon. Beachside’s pre-amenity pricing won’t last long! Homes built in the community will list from the $250s, which means you can live comfortabl­y and affordably in one of the Gulf Coast’s most desirable areas.
