I was showing houses in Galveston today, and just had to stop to take a picture of the gorgeous brown-eyed Susans that blanket the historic Galveston cemetery every spring. They are always pretty, but this year the flowers are bigger and more dense than I have ever seen them. It's gorgeous! The Broadway Cemetery Historic District is actually composed of seven separate cemeteries, grouped together in six city blocks in the center of Galveston. Not only is the historic cemetery district beautiful in the spring with the blanket of yellow wild flowers covering the gravesites, but it is also very interesting.Some of the most famous citizens of Galveston and Texas are laid to rest in the Broadway Cemetery. There are about 12,000 grave markers visible in the cemetery, but that figure is believ...

Having beach and bay houses along with family friendly amenities really add to the appeal.  In Sea Isle you can get whatever house fits your dreams, whether it's a home for your boat on the canal, a bay home that sits directly towards the open bay waters of Galveston Bay, or a Beach House, front row or close enough, with a view!The beaches of Sea Isle are family friendly and since it's a golf cart community, everyone drives their golf carts from any part of Sea Isle to the sand.Prices are also very appealing. For a house on a dry lot, without water access or view, the price can sometimes be under 200K, up to the 1st row on the beach which typically run over 400K. Beachside homes, which is what we call homes 2nd row, or...
