Kemah, TX Real Estate — Bay Area Expertise From Someone Who Knows Life on the Water

Kemah is one of Greater Houston's most distinctive waterfront communities — a Galveston Bay town anchored by the Kemah Boardwalk, a thriving marina district, and a real estate market that attracts buyers looking for coastal living without the full commitment of island life. From bay-view bungalows to waterfront investment properties, Kemah offers a lifestyle that is genuinely unlike anywhere else in the Greater Houston area.

Melanie Dubendorff has been serving Kemah buyers and sellers for 23 years. As a veteran-focused broker and founder of MAD for Vets, she understands the full range of Kemah real estate — primary residences, vacation homes, waterfront investment properties, and the flood zone and insurance realities that every Kemah buyer must navigate before closing.

Whether you're buying a bay-view home, selling a waterfront property, or considering Kemah as an investment — this is your source for real, unfiltered local intelligence.
