Chateau Lafitte

Half a Block to the Seawall, Walk to UTMB

Chateau Lafitte Townhomes hands you the Galveston dream: a charming, island-style home about half a block from the Seawall and Babe's Beach. The location is the headline. The University of Texas Medical Branch sits roughly three blocks away, a ten-to-fifteen-minute walk, which makes it a favorite for medical students and staff. Choose from one-bedroom apartments or two-story, two-bedroom townhomes, many with in-unit washers and dryers. The 1950s-era buildings carry real character, and some homes have been updated. On the grounds you'll find a courtyard, a swimming pool, and covered parking. Residents credit the staff as helpful and friendly, with prompt, sometimes same-day maintenance. Island living stays affordable here, which is rare this close to the beach. Some leases even come with all bills paid. For students, medical professionals, and beach lovers who want a walkable island address near UTMB, Chateau Lafitte is a strong east-end pick.
