Texas City is an affordable, waterfront community on Galveston Bay with easy access to the Texas City Dike for fishing and sunsets, local parks, seafood restaurants and a relaxed small-city vibe that makes multi-week assignments comfortable and low-stress.
You’re also minutes from Galveston’s beaches and the historic Strand (about 15–25 minutes) and within a roughly 35–50 mile/under-an-hour drive to Houston’s museums, dining, nightlife and major airports, so quiet homebase meets big-city and beach options on days off.
