Why they chose this property
Very safe neighborhood, with great neighbors. The house is located in a 1 way street.
There are many restaurants and bars (Brick house and The Spot) located within half mile of our house. The beach is 6 blocks away and within easy walking distance. The strand is a short 5 minute drive where Galveston's night life gets lively.
