Inspired by Galveston’s rich architectural heritage, Beachtown is a collection of charming coastal villages master planned by the world-renowned firm of Duany Plater-Zyberk & Co. (planners of Seaside and Rosemary Beach, FL). Beachtown is nestled along an enchanting stretch of Galveston Island’s eastern shore and is one of the few places in the South where nature is making the beaches grow wider. Defined by wide beaches and pristine lagoons, residents can take a short stroll along the tree-lined passageways from one end of the community to the other. In addition, Beachtown is located within minutes of Historic Galveston’s Downtown/Strand District, allowing for a short drive or bike ride to the District’s many shops and restaurants. For more information on the community’s homes and homesites, please contact the Beachtown Sales Center (409.762.2222).
