2425 Strand St, Galveston, TX 77550

"I have lived here for four years and find I enjoy it more with the passing of time. This is living scaled to human beings and not malls, freeways and anthill living. You see people on the street all the time, walking to restaurants, legit theater, bookstore, hotels, bars or just enjoying the scene...very unlike suburbia. There are some beautiful condos available now and activity is really picking up in crowds and action. I recommend looking away from the Strand to avoid the masses that occupy that area during rallies, major events like Mardi Gras etc. Just a few blocks away it is relatively quiet and less crowded but still exciting, with some outstanding loft spaces available. It is wonderful to live in a place that has a real city feel and yet be able to bike to a great beach in five minutes or sit bayside at the pier for fresh seafood in the same amount of time. I highly recommend downtown Galveston living. Once you're here, you'll understand why folks are reluctant to cross the causeway back onto the mainland."
