The beach is the perfect retreat for families to enjoy their vacations together and create endless memories of playing in the sand, swimming, fishing and shelling on the beach with the kids. In other parts of the country, such as California and Florida, beachfront property has risen so much in value that most people cannot afford to own a piece of land on the beach and undeveloped land is very limited and extremely expensive. Texas, on the other hand, still offers affordable undeveloped land.

For investors, the single-family residential market is second to none. Rental demand, particularly during peak season, is extremely high for single-family homes, which command excellent rates and have very high occupancy rates. We have also seen an increase in demand for residential lots from second home buyers and retirees.

Because the southern end of the Island has a mix of housing styles, zoning, types of construction and older residences and there is a lack of new single-family residential lots and new homes on the island, new constructions are now being done on the northern end of the Island, in order to meet demand.

Gated communities such as The Shores offer new single-family homes on both bayside and beachside. They have experienced great success with this new development and have already sold most of the beachside property.

Developers interested in creating residential communities to meet demand can now take advantage of a great opportunity. South Padre now has land tracts on the north end of the island that are on the market. North-end tracts cover the island’s width, from beachside to bayside. There are 82 tracts total and some of these are now on the market. This is truly a once in a lifetime opportunity!
