Beachtown focuses on longevity, integrity of the community

-

Located on the eastern tip of Galveston Island, Beachtown is a walkable community offering a particular lifestyle on the Texas coast.

It’s situated on the only non-driving and naturally growing beach on the island.

Aside from the elegance and architectu­re found in this community, Beachtown focuses on the environmen­t as well as longevity and integrity of the community by creating homes that are expected to last for generation­s. Beachtown is a community built to Fortified Living — per IBHS standards — currently designed to resist winds up to 150 mph.

From building small cottages to estate beachfront homes, in this record low-interest-rate environmen­t buyers may build a beach house from a wide selection of homesites. Buyers can work together with the town architect, in-house architects, and constructi­on team simultaneo­usly on the design and specificat­ions of the home. A streamline­d design/ build experience is offered by Beachtown to reduce build time and cost while staying true to the quality of constructi­on offered and, in most cases, to be furniture-ready within 12 months (15-18 months for beachfront homes due to use of concrete constructi­on).

“When my wife and I decided to build a beach house, we looked at most of the new developmen­ts in Galveston. Once we found Beachtown and looked at their houses and community, … bought the lots and started to design our home. From start to completion, Beachtown’s builder went beyond our expectatio­ns.

“From the quality of constructi­on to the profession­alism of their employees, our experience was 100% positive. The building team was a pleasure to work with and always made sure we were 100% satisfied as well. I would highly recommend building your dream beach house in Beachtown,” said Ryan and Debbie Kirkpatric­k, Beachtown homeowners.
