Galveston is a laid-back island town on the Gulf Coast of Texas. Galveston is home to many different condo buildings and some are right on the sand, so you can walk out of your building and right into the surf. Here you'll find modern high-rise towers like Palisade Palms, reasonably-priced mid-rises like Riviera and even historic loft buildings like Eibands. And it's all only about an hour from Houston!
