1908 Church St Unidad # 3

Nestled along the Galveston Channel on the northeast end of Galveston, Downtown Galveston is the city’s commercial hub. Filled with diverse eateries, nightlife hotspots, music venues, and more, downtown is a charming respite from the beaches located on the other side of the island. Downtown Galveston is the historic heart of the city, filled with restored architecture, museums, and cultural attractions. The Strand Historic District anchors the neighborhood, which has National Historic Landmark status and stands out for its many preserved 19th-century buildings. Moody Mansion and the Galveston Railroad Museum are just a few of the many museums located in downtown. Of course, residents also love being close to the beach, which is only about a 15-minute drive away. After riding some waves, hop on a ride at Galveston Island Historic Pleasure Pier or go fishing at Galveston's 61st Street Fishing Pier.
