We were planning a trip to Galveston decided to check out you tube boy am I glad we did. We were set to go than came across a lot of videos about the police CANCEL THAT TRIP we will take our $5000.00 else where never have I seen so many videos of police harassing visitors putting them in jail soon as they cross the city limits. Stay away do your research before going to Galveston. This video is only 1 of hundreds. search you tube for Galveston pd Unhinged WE WILL NEVER SEE GALVISTON
Really is no view of the gulf of Mexico the trip does not go there on ship channel
What small towns close to Galveston do u recommend to live?
I live in Houston and go to take the ferry rides often. I’ve ridden on Ray Stoker Jr so many times. It was cool to see that was the one you boarded.
I'm going to subscribe because I live in central Texas and would like to know about other places in Texas to move to or visit. How are the public Libraries? Is it a nice place for artists and writers? How about the disabled? Is it easily accessible? How is the public transportation? Are there any driving schools? Like your video.😊❤

You speak with a Lisp!
I went on vacation recently and me and my wife plan on moving down there! It seems so beautiful and full of opportunities. I love the videos man thank you for informing people on how to make the best decision on moving!
We are planning on a cruise out of Galveston. Arriving from Louisiana, is the ferry reliable to use, time-wise, so we don't miss the boat?
Low wages, limited job opportunities
Howdy, I’m retired U.S. Army looking for rural community near Galveston. I grew up in and have lived in cities while in the U.S. army. Hawaii has hurricane relief fund that increased premium. Will it be possible to share rural communities with no HOA? Thanks!
I use to have relatives who lived in Galveston when I was a child. I loved to ride actoss to Galveston. We would carry bread for the seagulls who followed the ferry. You could throw a piece of bread up high in the air and a seagull would swoop down and grab it in the air. Some people would actually hand feed the seagulls. Another thing I enjoyed was watching the dolphins swim alongside the ferry. This video brought back some fond memories. Thank you sir
are there casinos and adult bookstores in galveston? thx.
No casinos…yet
Pro: At least it’s not Corpus Christi 😂
I’m moving here to 2 years yes I’m getting excited already
I was born and raised in Galveston I love it there I never thought I'd see myself move.. we move to Dallas because of job promotion been here 10 years back and forth from Galveston of course I have family and friends always enjoy going back home❤ to watch the morning sunrise with a nice cup of coffee is beautiful.
Luis😊 can I tell you one more thing, please? Were you here after hurricane Ike in 2008? If not, the press deemed Galveston unrestorable, saying it was a dead town and would remain a dead town, because the healthcare system was destroyed and too expensive to ever rebuild. Patients (one was my best friend) had to travel all the way to Houston’s MD Anderson to continue their cancer treatments since the Galveston center was closed. There were many crises and devastations post-Ike, and Galveston’s healthcare system was #1.
Luis, your video coverages of Galveston are excellent! I will be referring friends and family to you. Meanwhile, in this video, I would have included healthcare as one of the top Pros, with UTMB, which includes the newly rebuilt $438 million Jennie Sealy Hospital, a fabulous level 1 trauma center, Shriners Hospital, etc. Most of the buildings received significant damage and closed after hurricane Ike on September 13, 2008 and have since been rebuilt beyond their former glory. For many people wanting to relocate, local healthcare in a major consideration and Galveston offers that. 🎉😊
I’ve lived in and around Galveston all of my life and this is the most informative video I’ve seen. Excellent excellent excellent!
Great detailed video.
Glad you liked it! ☺
I have love for Galveston and live up 45 near the southern part of Houston. If I ever lived in Galveston my house would have to be elevated and built strong to be storm resistant. For folks not from Houston or Galveston, Galveston is a part of the greater Houston area even though Galveston folks like to stay to themselves at times lol. Pretty much anyone living in Galveston works in Houston proper just like the majority of the suburban areas in the city.
Galveston indeed is part of the Greater Houston area, but it's a very different feeling overall, which is why a lot of us feel like leaving Galveston is like leaving the country lol. While there are many commuters that leave the island to work closer to Houston, there's actually a significant amount of people that commute to the island every day for work. Galveston's thriving hospitality industry as well as UTMB brings lots of work to the island.
I agree! Galveston’s excellent healthcare facilities bring commuters, both professionals and patients, to Galveston on a regular basis.
We are looking at moving down to Galveston next year or maybe this fall, but want to come and stay in a few condo's to see what area we like. We like the Diamond Beach Resort, but also wanted to know if there are any good condos in the Strand area?
Yes! There are many different condominiums around the Strand and downtowns area. They’re definitely a different aesthetic than the Diamond, but if you’re wanting to be close to everything and enjoy the more urban lifestyle it’s perfect. I do recommend visiting and staying for a few days on both areas of town to see what you like best. You can go wrong either way, but there’s pros and cons to living on either side of town. I would be happy to help you find the perfect place or answer any questions you may have. I live and work on the island and can honestly answer any questions and address any concerns you may have.
Plan to visit Bolivar peninsula soon, is the water clean there?
Hi there! The water in Bolivar Peninsula is very similar to that of Galveston beaches. There are areas where it might be a bit clearer but overall it’ll look the same, just less crowded than in Galveston at this time of the year.
Very dangerous Town stay away
What’s the most dangerous area?
@@ElizabethHeatheringtonit’s not dangerous
Hahaha it is not dangerous. You’re delusional
Promo>SM 😀
Luis, do you handle rentals?
This was so fun! We are loving these videos.

I'm from Longview. I've lived the last 10 years in Key West and relocating back home to Galveston.
There's nothing like coming back home! ☺🙌 If you have any questions, I'd be happy to be of assistance.
Can't hear you
Love Texas ❤
🙌 When I moved to the area over 10 years ago, I didn't think I would come to love this place as much. Now I can't imagine myself anywhere else and love helping people find the same outcome.
Please excuse the sound quality in part of the video!

Thanks for this video. Very informative ❤ Question: why arent there a lot of condominum developments in thos area?
Hi there! Thank you for your comment and your question. Galveston has very limited land to build and water front land is sold at a premium. There's a new luxury condominium being developed towards the West End of the island and there's also a new mix-income housing complex being build right off of Broadway in Mid-Town so new developments are in the works. There's also a large market for the existing condominiums on the island with many units being bought and sold that can be used as secondary properties and/or vacation rentals.
Thank you for the information.
Our pleasure!
Great information! Thank you Luis for showcasing Galveston- just a suggestion to reduce the volume on the music sections and increase the volume when you are talking as your voice is so soft. Thanks again! ~ Pam
Thanks for the tip! I will keep it in mind for future videos.
Jobs are not up to par in G-town, unless you are in the Health Field. Also, rents are outrageous! Buy your own house if you can. It's Island Time! 🏝️.
While the rental marker is indeed strong, there are still opportunities to find reasonable rentals here, but nothing beats owning your own home. ☺
Where is located the Latin neighborhood
Galveston has a very diverse community throughout!
you look like george santos
Okay! 🤷🏻♂️
I ♥️ GALVESTON TEXAS
Whats the neighborhood like north of Broadway from 25th to 43rd street is it a safe area or is it pretty dangerous?
That part of town has started to see a lot of new development and there's a lot of industrial building (warehouses, long term parking, etc.) so it tends to be a bit more "run down looking" but at the same time there are many neighborhood with multi-generational residents of Galveston that live in that area. With the new developments that are up and coming, the area is seeing a bit of a revitalization. As in many other parts of the island there are good things and bad, but I wouldn't refer to any part of town to be dangerous.
Will u show the neighborhood north Broadway from 25th to 52nd street? I used to live on 31st and r 1/2 by Menard park bacc then it was crazy and you had to be cautious around there.i spent most of my time on the west end around broadway when I lived there ill be going to visit Galveston this summer and I plan on doing a video around the backstreets to show the side of Galveston alot of people don't get to see.seawall and the beach is nice but Galveston Texas is my 2nd home and when I go to Galveston and cross that causeway it automatically feels like home.much love to Galveston Texas even with the good the bad and the ugly.🌎♥️
I do have planned to make several more videos on the different areas of the island. North of Broadway from 25th to 52nd will definitely be part of it. I plan to show all of our beautiful island.
Getting ready to sell in Honolulu, Galveston seems like my move, i'll contact you soon as i get on track to sell here, hoping for .. ASAP
Hi Wendy - I look forward to helping you make a smooth move. Feel free to contact me with any questions about getting started with the process.
Moving from Hawaii to Houston area is a huge step down!!! Hawaii is a PARADISE!!! What are you thinking?!? GALVESTON?!?
I really fell in love with Galveston Texas my 1 trip..want to relocate one Day
I fell in love with Galveston my first trip as well. It took me a few years before I was able to move but haven't regretted it once. If you have any questions about Galveston, feel free to contact me.
Thank you. ❤
You're welcome 😊
Galveston crime rate has went up so bad. I would never move their. I stay 15 mins away
Yeh but I feel like that's happening to all major cities and popular towns. I live in Houston and it's horrible here too
Unfortunately, given the size of the island everything seems to be magnified. A lot of incidents are mostly petty crimes like car break-ins and theft. As with any other city or urban area, one has to be aware of their surroundings and take precautions.
I love living here and have never been a victim of a crime.
@@livingingalvestontexas I was robbed in Galveston near the Broadway cemetery and also just about got it near Menard park.while living there I saw many things and it was very violent. the crime has gone down alot but it's still a very dangerous place but you just have to stay away from bad neighborhoods and the high crime spots.
@@pwespook_thageneral3506 so ppl that don't know areas what are they? I go down to rollerblade on seawall
This is awesome. Thank you Luis. I'm going tomorrow to look around but not thinking of buying anything. Great video though
Thank you! Hope you had an excellent time while visiting. If you ever feel like moving, I would be more than happy to help you with the process.
Galveston for vacation, but not for living ( almost time humility 95%)
Living in Galveston is actually great! Humidity in the summer can be pretty overwhelming if not used to it but I personally like it coming from the Caribbean. Love driving/walking over to the seawall and enjoy the nice breeze coming in. ☺
Humility? I guess people are very modest in Galveston with 95% HUMILITY ;)
I live in Dallas and visit Galveston several times a year lol I want to move there (when my son turns 18 lol) in 8 years. I love visiting and all the history, food, shops, fishing, walking on the beach, etc. My friends live there in some nice apartments and their rent is less than mine! I’d probably still rent though. Jobs would be a concern for me. I’m a paralegal, cosmetologist, and I do deliveries full time at the moment. If I lived there, I wouldn’t want to leave the island lol great video! You are adorable lol 🏝️🏝️🏝️
Thank you so much! Most of us that have moved to the island try to stay in as much as possible. Sometimes it feels like leaving the country 😂
@@livingingalvestontexas I’m like that when I visit lol 😂
Lived on the Island for 5 years in the 90s... hoping to get a place there again.
If you ever decide to move back, I'd be happy to help you with the process. The island has gone through a lot of changes since the 90s and in the past 10 years alone has seen a significant growth and home continue to be improved.
