Somerset Retirement Village

Blocks From the Beach in Midtown Galveston

Somerset Village puts you just blocks from the Galveston beach at a budget-friendly rent. The midtown location is highly walkable, close to the sand, grocery stores, pharmacies, and local restaurants. That easy island access is the whole appeal. Originally a retirement community, it now welcomes a mix of residents. Two swimming pools, a hot tub, gazebos, an on-site library, and 24-hour laundry fill out the pet-friendly grounds. Homes run one to three bedrooms, and many have picked up updates like faux-granite counters and vinyl plank flooring. Long-term residents credit a quick, attentive maintenance crew and well-kept grounds. Some leases have offered all-bills-paid options for simpler budgeting. The buildings date to 1969, so this leads with location and value. If your search starts with beach days and a short walk to the water, Somerset Village earns a look.
