Galveston Overview

The beautiful Galveston area, located on the Texas coastline, stretches across Galveston and Pelican Islands. It offers residents of Galveston apartments stunning ocean views, a rich multicultural history, and convenient access to all the amenities of nearby Houston. Galveston's warm weather, welcoming culture, and lower-average cost of living make it a popular choice to settle in.

What is the history of Galveston?

Galveston has had a colorful history. This began as a pirate base in the early 1800s. In later years it served the Republic of Texas's capital. It eventually became a major port town and military base. In the WWI era, Galveston served as a haven for Jewish, Russian, Greek, and Italian immigrants. This helped build the multicultural identity that the city carries today.

How is the weather in Galveston?

Like much of the American South, Galveston has a humid subtropical climate. The sweltering summers are over 90°F and the temperate winters range from 50-60°F. Spring and Fall are pleasant and breezy, averaging about 75°F. Galveston lies in the Coastal Windstorm area. Hurricanes such as 2008's Hurricane Ike do hit the city.

How do I get around town?

Athletic residents may use the island's miles of bike trails to reach local attractions. Island Transit also runs bus and streetcar routes throughout the island. Residents commuting to jobs in the Houston area will need a car or public transportation. The mainland can be reached through Amtrack, Interstate 47, or the Bolivar Ferry.

What is the Galveston commute like?

Broadway Ave runs E-W and forms the terminus for I-45, which runs into Houston. Seawall Blvd, also known as San Luis Pass Rd, traces the seaward edge of the island and connects to Freeport via a toll bridge. Traffic can be challenging when tourists flood the island during Spring Break and summertime.

What are the local media outlets?

Stay informed on local and national events the Galveston County Daily News, in circulation since 1842. Popular radio stations include KROI 92.1 for news, KUHF 88.7 for public radio, and Jack FM 103.7 for a mix of classic rock and pop. Keep in touch with weather on television channel 13.3.

Why live in Galveston, TX?

Southern Texas is known for hot temperatures and hotter food. Nowhere is that more true than in seaside Galveston. In the last two centuries, this vibrant town has been hit with hurricanes and economic depressions, yet residents kept coming back. What drew them to build it into the city you see today? For many people living in seaside homes and apartments in Galveston, the spectacular Caribbean Sea is the answer. However, this bustling city is not just for beach devotees. Galveston also hosts a huge number of festivals, niche businesses, ethnic cuisine, and a thriving arts and entertainment industry.

What Galveston landmarks should I see?

The Seawall, Galveston's signature landmark, is where locals and tourists alike enjoy 10 miles of continuous sidewalk and endless white beaches. Another must-see attraction is Bishop's Palace. This eye-catching Victorian castle, built in the late 1800s, offers group and individual tours of the opulent, historied building and grounds.

What is there to do around Galveston?

What can't you do in Galveston? The beach offers a wide variety of watersports including swimming and kite surfing. When you get tired of the sun, soak in the culture of the seventy block Historic District. There, you can visit vintage shops or sample in-season produce at Galveston's Own Farmer's Market.

Any annual festivals or Galveston events to know?

During Dickens on the Strand, Dec 2-4, Galveston celebrates the winter holidays, Victorian style. Here, the stories of Charles Dickens come to life through costumed reenactors and a parade. Mardi Gras! Galveston is another wonderful festival in February where locals enjoy joyful parades, galas, music, amazing food, and even a 5k costumed run.

Where are the nearby vacation spots?

It's hard to imagine you'll get tired of the beach, but for a change of scenery check out the Sam Houston National Forest north of Houston. For a real adventure, head east. New Orleans is just a six hour drive away, perfect for a long weekend in the Big Easy.

Where is the best place to move in Galveston?

The first step to choosing a place to live in Galveston is to narrow down what you want from the city. Culture lovers may feel at home Galveston apartments in the eastern side of the island, perhaps in the revitalized East End or Lost Bayou Historic Districts. People looking for peaceful living on the beach will be well served in the tapered western end of the island. It holds a number of newer apartments overlooking the beachfront and canals. Students can also find affordable housing around one of the island's universities, which include Texas A&M Maritime Academy, the University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB), and Galveston College. These are centrally located, an easy walk or bike ride from amenities like restaurants, parks, and small supermarkets.
