Overview

§ 01

Only one corner lot in HarborWalk offers a triple-aspect view of the marina, the Intracoastal Waterway, and the wetlands — and it's this one. Sited at 49 Shell Key with the rare capacity for two boathouses, the property sits elevated above street grade with 110 feet of bulkheaded waterfront. This 13,254 sq ft West Galveston Bay estate site is cleared, ready to build, and carries no time-to-build requirement. Room for a double-sized dock accommodates a large yacht, bay boat, and jet skis, with the Intracoastal Waterway just 600 yards away and the Galveston jetties only 12 nautical miles out. Steps from the HarborWalk Swim Center, resort pools, fitness center, tennis, and miles of trails. Yacht Club membership included.

Highway 6 access bypasses I-45 traffic — Number 13, Pier 21, The Strand, Moody Gardens, and the Seawall are all a short scenic drive. Design and build the custom Gulf Coast estate you have been envisioning.

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.
