I purchased a condo in Galveston about 3 years ago and have absolutely no regrets. Sure, it's not Florida but it's only an hour from my full time home in Houston. If you adventure off of the seawall and the Strand, you will find great restaurants bars that are frequented by the locals. The locals are very friendly once they know you live there.
Galveston is not a rich town and it lives off of the ups and downs of the Houston economy. One you accept it for what it is you will enjoy it.
