“This is a perfect time to buy a new home in Evia,” adds Sullivan. “We were so thankful to have minimal damage and no flooding during the hurricane a few years ago so new owners will know that the Seawall protection and planning for the community were done with their investment in mind. Although that is important to consider, there is no place on Galveston Island that can offer the lifestyle that we have in Evia.”
What makes Evia special? • New Urbanist community which is an architectural tribute to some of the most famous historic cities such as New Orleans, Savannah and Charleston. • Located on Galveston Island, within one hour of two major airports in Houston, Texas. • Situated behind the protection of the historic Galveston Seawall and elevated to offer optimum protection – sustained NO flood water or major damage during most recent hurricane. • Tenets of a “traditional neighborhood” are reflected in the Village Center and Green, Curiosity Cove Park and the Village Pool and Cabana. • A variety of home styles and sizes appeal to both primary and secondary homeowners.
