Overview

§ 01

Located on Galveston’s sought-after West End within the gated beachfront community of The Boardwalk at Jamaica Beach, this is a rare opportunity to create a coastal retreat that feels private and removed from everyday life. An adjoining homesite is also available (listed separately - MLS #2082683), offering the opportunity to secure additional space for a larger build, expanded outdoor living, or added privacy. Third-row homesites (each approx. 70’ x 130’) offer Gulf and pond views, steady coastal breezes, and the flexibility to build with more space. Private beach access is just a short stroll across the community boardwalk. Conveniently located near local cafes, shopping, and essentials, with a short drive to the Strand, Pleasure Pier, and Moody Gardens. Short-term rentals (1 week+) are permitted, giving you the freedom to enjoy, invest, or create a long-term coastal hold. Opportunities like this in an established beachfront community are limited.

MUD Disclosure (§49.452)

§ 03 · Data moat
● §49.452 Notice
Not in archive
This MUD is not yet in our §49.452 archive. We'll add it on request.

Texas Water Code §49.452 requires districts to publish annual notices with tax rate, bonded indebtedness, and assessed value. Most Harris-area MUDs publish these; a handful managed by Inframark do not.

Request this notice
● What this tells you

The §49.452 notice is the only public document that lists a MUD's exact tax rate, outstanding bond debt, and the assessed value used to compute your taxes — direct from the district, not the MLS. If the district is newer or has more bonds outstanding than its neighbors, your effective tax rate will be higher here than just across the street.
