The sun is shining, there's sand between your toes, and the water is a sparkling turquoise — you're not on a tropical vacation, you're at home. Yes, really, if you live at Lago Mar.

The master-planned community is located on the southwest shoreline of Galveston Bay, in Texas City, and is home to Texas' largest crystal lagoon. That 12-acre exotic escape is only one of the neighborhood's incredible amenities, which also span dining, parks, walking trails, and more.

Can't wait to live here now? The community's homes range from the high $200s into the $500s, and are the product of some of the nation's best homebuilders. Take a closer look at the big names helping to create Lago Mar:
