Sea Isle is a great family retreat that has enjoyed years of growth. Sea Isle is a mixed neighborhood with new and old homes, homes of all sizes, and homes of all shapes. But it works.  When I visited clients on the last 4^th of July we had a blast meeting other families and driving around on the golf carts. The local restaurant had karaoke and everyone was out and about. Homes have appreciated here significantly in the last few years and are currently holding steady. The homes range from dry land to canal to beach. Prices range from 120k to near one million. Whether you are looking for a retirement community or just for a second home Sea Isle might be just what you're looking for...

Playa San Luis is a premier neighborhood on the island. You will never find too many homes for sale in the area. The last time I looked there were two. The beaches have appeal in Playa San Luis because they are accreting. This means the beaches get bigger each year. The area has many dune walk overs and prohibits vehicular traffic so the beaches are a safer place.  Playa San Luis also has large easements that allow homes away from the beach great beach views. Ryson Real Estate and Vacation Rentals have a small 2 bedroom that was very popular in our rental pool. Even though it was 10 homes back from the beach it did over $27,000 in income. The market here is very firm and ranges in price from $330k- over 1 million. It has the potential for custom builds also and the lots start in the $90k range. 

Galveston Texas real estate

Pointe west is a great development poised to capitalize on Galveston's surge in second homes and vacation rentals. The community is based around a community center with work out facilities, pool, bar, restaurant, and much more. Pointe West Galveston also features large park lands, lazy river, pedestrian and gold cart trails, and "private" beach. The market is sluggish for homes and condos in Pointe West, but rentals are doing great. I just talked to a few owners who had great rental incomes. One owner had over $30,000 on his condo, and another have over $50,000 on his beach house.  Now is the time to buy as some owners want out and are sacrificing price for a fast sale. Both homes and condos are available; condos and in the low 200's and a beachfront home can be bought for under 600k.

The Club of the Isle condos are, in our opinion, a great buy. The reasons are :

1. great prices

2. It is a true resort with Spa

3. Putt- putt Golf

4. high rental income ($2000/mo for 1 bedroom, $2800 for 2 bedrooms)

5. quality finishes

We have sold 4 units there and each buyer is more than satisfied with their purchase! Don't miss this chance to own at a nice new Galveston condo complex. Prices range from $110,000 to $300,000 with 1, 2, and 3 bedroom plans...

Galveston has much to offer as far as full time homes go, but what if you want a boat but don't want to live way west? Havre lafitte may be exactly what your looking for. The neighborhood has only a few entrances and is set up like a traditional neighborhood. However, many of the homes here have water access and boat dock. The homes are mostly all full time residences unlike West Galveston Island where over 50% are second homes. This area is close to everything and is just off at Stewart Road near Moody Gardens. Havre Lafitte also features a boat launch for owners. Prices are a bit higher than the surrounding area because of the water access but they remain very reasonable for lake front homes with deep water access.
