Welcome back. Millionaires to mermaids, you’ll find it all in Rockport, Texas, and friends there’s a tie to the Bartlesville area that I thought you might find interesting this week.
Water Street in Rockport is only a mile long and runs right along the edge of the Gulf of Mexico. The area often floods, but most of the houses are built on stilts and there are few full-time residents. The beauty of the place outweighs the sometimes rough weather that coastal living can bring.
Here, small waterfront lots can bring as much as half a million dollars, and there are few of them available. It is common to have at least a million dollars tied up in a home on this street.
