Over the weekend, DW and I attended a highly-advertised, newly-developed land offering located near Palacios, TX. Very nice dockable waterfront lots, ½ to 3 acres, on Carancahua Bay, which opens up to Matagorda Bay, with direct access to the Gulf of Mexico. Lot prices seemed reasonable, but I’ve yet to do any due diligence, so would need to research some more to be sure. All the advertising for the event (in the Houston and San Antonio markets) apparently created quite a buzz and the event was very well attended, and by mid-afternoon they claimed to have sold over half of the 95 lots that were available.
DW and I were tempted to snap up a very nice southern-facing lot with beautiful views, as a future full-time home-site. The thing holding us back was our uneasiness with idea relocating to the Palacios area. Based on our admittedly very limited exposure, it’s a very quiet, sleepy little town, but with very little in the way of restaurants or shopping. After living in the Houston metro area for the last 20 years, we’re really ready to get away from the big city. But, this seems to almost go too far in the other direction. Were used to visiting some of the coastal areas a little closer to Galveston, which have a lot more to offer in terms of dining, shopping and things to do in general.
Has anyone here spent much time in this area? If so, I’d be interested in your opinions on the pros and cons on the area.
