Leave behind hustle and bustle of Houston in Beachtown enclave

-

With the impact that COVID-19 has had on the society, many are seeking healthier and safer environmen­ts to call home.

Beachtown, a hidden oasis located on the eastern tip of Galveston Island, may just be that safe haven.

It is a short drive from the hustle and bustle of Houston. To reach the community, take I-45 south, make no turns to arrive at this 260-acre developmen­t, nestled in 800 acres of nature preserve that offers a respite from city life.

Within proximity to UTMB and Galveston Historic District, Beachtown offers a collection of homes from townhomes to estate beachfront homes. Buyers can choose from a variety of homesites including beachfront, lagoon-front, promenades, and parks. Building in Beachtown is a hasslefree process planned to protect the buyers. This is one of the communitie­s in Texas where homes are built to IBHS Fortified standards, resisting winds up to 150 mph.

At Beachtown, it is not just the beach — it is the community, the lifestyle, the nature, the concierge service and the proximity to amenities that buyers can find in a big city. Planned by the creators of Florida’s Seaside, Rosemary and Alys Beach communitie­s, Beachtown is a walkable sanctuary that fosters a sense of community.

The home at 1510 Beachtown Drive is priced at a much lower cost than beachfront homes. This lagoon-front upside-down plan expands on the incredible views through its three porches.

A short stroll through a tree-lined promenade takes residents to the sculptural dune walkover to walk on the wide, sandy beaches, the only naturally growing and nondriving beach on Galveston Island. For details, visit www.beachtown.com or call 409-762-2222.
