Galveston, TX Apartments for Rent

Galveston, TX combines coastal living with historical character. Those looking for apartments for rent in Galveston will find themselves in a city with a rich maritime heritage dating back to the 1800s, when it served as a major Gulf Coast port. The island demonstrated its resilience after the devastating 1900 hurricane, which remains the deadliest natural disaster in U.S. history. Today, Galveston's rental market includes beachfront condos and restored Victorian homes, with one-bedroom apartments renting for around $1,127 per month.

Situated on a barrier island along the Texas Gulf Coast, Galveston offers renters both beach access and historical attractions. The city's 32 miles of beaches and seawall provide opportunities for swimming, walking, and outdoor recreation, while the Strand Historic District features preserved 19th-century architecture housing local shops, restaurants, and galleries. The University of Texas Medical Branch and the Port of Galveston serve as major employers, and the city sits 50 miles southeast of Houston. Throughout the year, residents can enjoy community events like Mardi Gras and Dickens on the Strand, making Galveston an appealing choice for those seeking coastal living with easy access to city amenities.
