I really like this area... Right in the middle of Galveston/Downtown. Everything is down here, but it's far enough away from downtown that it's not QUITE as crazy. The traffic was HORRIBLE yesterday... I had some training over there off of 610 by Reliant..and it literally took me like 2 hours to get home (less than 30 miles) Ack.
You can buy a really nice house here for 200-300. Same house inside the loop.. Million + I'm sure lol
