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.

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.

What is there to do around Galveston?
