If you pay attention to Florida real estate and its ups and downs, the one thing you’ll soon realize is that water always holds its value. There is a near-constant demand for waterfront and water view properties. Living at the water is a great real estate investment and an investment in your personal well-being.
Are you ready to make the move and upgrade to a lifestyle home and not just a place to live?
What Is a Lifestyle Home?
A lifestyle home is more than just a dwelling. People who choose to live in a “lifestyle home” have an entire lifestyle based on where they live. For instance, that lifestyle could be golfing at the country club or the ability to indulge in long walks on a private sandy shore.
A lifestyle home is an upgrade, not just a place to live, a place to park your car and store your stuff. Owners of lifestyle homes made a conscious decision of the type of life they want to lead and they buy a home that allows them to live that life perfectly.
Sunset Pointe at Collany Key is a lifestyle home. The condos there are built on an island and living there feels like a beach hideaway on your own private island every day.
If you’re searching for a new home and you have several choices in mind, imagine what it would be like living with friends on your own private island, enjoying the beach vibes and outdoor lifestyle. Sound good?
Here are a few ways you can decide if you’re ready for that kind of change.
- You love the beach. It soothes you and stirs your energy at the same time. Most beaches in Florida are public, which means you pay a lot of money to live on the water with thousands of people traipsing through your “front lawn.” Hardly the secluded quiet beach time you were longing for.
- You understand the investment of living near the water. Water views and water access always hold value but you want to make sure you select a location where your view will never be blocked by a larger high-rise or structure.
- You love the access without the upkeep. Living near the water is hard on things like patio furniture and grass. Homeowners who live near the ocean have to deal with the reality of salt spray and other natural elements. But in a condominium community, outdoor concerns are handled by the managing association so you needn’t worry about replacing your furniture upholstery, grass, or plants.
- You know water views don’t cost the same. Water views in downtown St. Pete can be as much as two times what you pay at a beach spot like Sunset Pointe and the water access downtown is not nearly as generous. With downtown condos, you have easy access to the marina but you’ll be driving to enjoy the beaches and the Gulf of Mexico.
- You’re plugged into economic cycles. Downtown areas often go through economic cycles where it’s hip to live downtown and then it’s a ghost town. The beach never experiences the need for regentrification. Tierra Verde was developed in the early 60s as an investment property and it will always be a good solid investment and a much-desired address.
If you currently live in a property that is less than intriguing and you’re considering an upgrade to the type of place that will help you live kind of lifestyle you’re longing for, consider the unparalleled natural beauty at Sunset Pointe at Collany Key. The price per square foot is half of what you pay for a place in downtown St. Pete and you’re getting your “own private island” lifestyle. Very few condos offer the type of soothing seclusion of island living within close proximity to downtown and its cultural opportunities. This lifestyle property affords you an enviable existence set to the sounds of nature and glorious sunsets. Come see us today. Life at the “island” is just better.
