Overview

§ 01

Just 2 blocks from the beach, this early-1900s home offers historic charm, great natural light, and an unbeatable island location. With 4 bedrooms, 2 full baths, original hardwood floors, a first-floor primary & two gulf-facing porches—including an upper porch with views of the Hotel Galvez—the home feels open & airy thanks to high ceilings & abundant windows. The spacious galley kitchen stretches across the rear of the home & overlooks the fenced, private backyard, creating a bright gathering space with a strong connection to the outdoors. A detached oversized 2 car garage provides valuable off-street parking plus room for a workshop & extra storage, & the home also includes a newer A/C compressor. Offering space, character, & proximity to Galveston’s restaurants, attractions, & the Gulf, this is a wonderfully livable home at an affordable price point with the opportunity to make a historic gem your own.

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.
