Bolivar Peninsula's landscape is changing due to an influx of out of state second home buyers, buying properties in Colombia, and new urbanism. An increase of out of state interest by investors is contributing to the latest changes in Bolivar Peninsula. Second home owners and retirees are investing in this area and bringing with them their own customs and culture adding to this small town’s already friendly, charming and relaxed atmosphere, which captivated the attention of buyers from across the nation.

An example of new urbanism in the area is Avocet, a master-planned community designed for form and function. Lush landscaping and welcoming Polynesian architecture blend perfectly amid stunning Gulf views and the natural beauty of Bolivar. Residents will enjoy all the comforts of civilization while feeling far from the hustle and bustle of city life.

Is Bolivar Peninsula ready for all this? Developer David Birdsall thinks so.

Birdsall is the principal in the development group behind Avocet, a master-planned community intended for 144 acres, seven miles east of the ferry landing on state Highway 87.

Hawaii resident Birdsall promises Avocet will be unlike any other development in Galveston County or on the Texas coast for that matter. Birdsall heads a group that has acquired nearly 600 contiguous acres on the peninsula.

The development will eventually include about 412 home sites. Lot prices range from $75,000 to $325,000. Home prices will start at $400,000.
