Beachtown offers walkable, timeless community in Galveston

Beachtown is a hidden oasis located on the eastern tip of Galveston Island. The community is situated on one of the only non-eroding and non-driving beaches on the island and is surrounded by an 800-acre nature preserve and lagoons to the north.

Additional­ly, Beachtown is in proximity to downtown Galveston; UTMB; and the Historic Strand District, which is ideal for shopping and dining.

Beachtown is a community by the firm of Duany Plater-Zyberk (DPZ), creators of Seaside and Rosemary Beach, and many other communitie­s that are walkable and timeless. The tree-lined promenades and paved sidewalks create an authentic and pleasant community that inspires both residents and guests to leave their cars behind and walk or bike through the villages of Beachtown.

The community’s town center alongside the bocce ball court houses the bike shop, creamery and the Porch Cafe. The Porch Cafe offers a charming ambience serving fine and casual cuisine overlookin­g an unmatched setting.

Aside from the elegance and architectu­re found in the community, Beachtown focuses on longevity and integrity by creating homes that last. Beachtown is built up to Fortified Living per IBHS standards, which is currently designed to resist winds up to 150 miles per hour.

From small cottages to large estate homes, buyers may build or find a beach house in Beachtown and enjoy a unique lifestyle on the Texas coast.
