The Surge Take: La Marque

La Marque scores 71.3/100 on Surge's STR market score, ranking #3 of 8 Galveston-area submarkets we track. That's mid-pack for the Galveston market: not a headline submarket, but often where value hides — mid-tier areas typically have lower acquisition costs and less STR competition than the trophy neighborhoods. The average listing here grosses $24,796/year — about 46% below the Galveston metro average, so unit selection and design matter more than usual.

The revenue profile is a $182 average daily rate at 45% occupancy (RevPAR $68). That's a healthy mid-market ADR — the sweet spot for durable demand from both leisure and work travel. As a suburban submarket, demand skews toward families, relocations, and medical or project stays — larger homes tend to outperform.

On the regulatory side, La Marque falls under City of La Marque, which is currently permissive: No STR-specific ordinance; standard zoning districts and HOT apply. Low regulatory friction is a real advantage — just verify HOA and deed restrictions, which apply regardless of city or county rules.
