What makes Evia special?
-
Evia is the first major development behind the Galveston Seawall in 20 years
- Three interconnected lakes feeding fresh-water wetlands serve as the focal point for this pedestrian-friendly community, offering trails and scenic views
- A variety of home and town cottage designs are available, reflecting the rich architectural heritage of Galveston Island and the Texas Gulf Coast
- Homes are built on slab or traditional pier-and-beam foundations due to the elevation of the property – no need for elevated homes on stilts
- Homes are designed to face the streets and green spaces with generous front porches, while garages are deemphasized by placing them at the rear of the residence
- The Village Center will be a place to meet and greet your neighbors. Kick your shoes off in the grass of the Village Green while enjoy a concert or a picnic.
- Parks and Green spaces are interspersed throughout Evia.
Jose Antonio de Evia
Jose Antonio de Evia was a Spanish naval officer that was commissioned by his patron, Bernardo de Galvez, to draw detailed plans of the Gulf Coast from West Florida to Tampico, Mexico. During his exploration, he happened upon a barrier island at the inlet to a large bay and named the island "Galveston", after his patron.
We live on a historic island. With all that she has to offer, the man who discovered our beloved home deserves to be recognized. Therefore, Galveston's newest community honors Jose Antonio de Evia with gratitude for his exploration.
