Overview

§ 01

Welcome to 17614 Glei, a beautifully updated 3 bed / 2 bath, 2,270 sq ft furnished beach house on Galveston Island’s desirable West End. This turn-key 2nd-row home perfectly blends modern coastal living with strong income potential as an active short-term rental. Just steps from the sand with community beach access, it offers easy beach access without the high flood insurance of direct waterfront. The bright open-concept second floor features a spacious kitchen, living room w/ fireplace, dining area with scenic water views through hurricane-rated windows, and a large deck ideal for BBQs and Gulf sunsets. The entire top floor is dedicated to a luxurious primary suite, walk-in closet, sitting area/office, and private deck with coastal breezes. Located in a friendly, well-maintained community with NO HOA, this rent-ready gem is perfect for a personal vacation home or high-performing STR investment.

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.
