This gated community comprises 130 units, offering residents a blend of suburban tranquility and waterfront living. The development stands out for its prime location along the water's edge, providing residents with scenic views and direct access to boating amenities. While the exterior architecture is simple and functional, the real appeal lies in its waterfront setting and the lifestyle it affords.
