Lot Highlights: What Makes 0 Nesmith Place Different
This lot sits on the Gulf side of Surfside Beach — and that positioning matters when you're thinking about views, walkability to the water, and what your build will feel like from the moment you pull up.
Nesmith Place is one of Surfside's shortest, quietest streets. No through traffic. The people on that street are there because they chose to be there — not because it was on the way to somewhere else.
- Gulf-side location
- Quiet, no-through-traffic street
- Utilities already at the street
- No HOA — full design freedom
- Walk to public beach access
- Fishing & waterfront dining nearby
- $85,000 — under $100K

The utilities piece is worth calling out. When utilities are already at the lot line, you skip a costly and time-consuming pre-construction step. You're ready to build when your builder is ready — and that's not always the case with raw land at this price point on the Texas coast.
What's It Like Living in Surfside Beach, TX?
Surfside Beach is a small Gulf Coast community in Brazoria County, Texas, sitting on Follets Island — a barrier island on the upper Texas Gulf Coast. It draws buyers who want a genuine coastal lifestyle without the price tags of the more built-up Texas beach markets.
It's about 60 miles from Houston, which makes it a realistic weekend habit, not just an annual trip. Public beach access means you don't need to own beachfront property to enjoy the water — fishing, swimming, and walking the shoreline are just part of everyday life here. Waterfront dining and local fishing spots add to the picture without requiring a car every time.
Surfside Beach isn't a resort strip. It's a place where people come to slow down. That's exactly what draws buyers who want to build their own coastal retreat rather than buy into someone else's development. The Texas A&M Real Estate Center tracks coastal land trends worth reviewing if you're comparing markets across the upper Texas coast.

And you want a quiet street where the neighbors are there for the same reason you are.
