Gulf Coast Condominiums by Laura Brown There are many who have enjoyed the comforts of condominium living for years and inevitably, others who would never dream of giving up a house for the condo lifestyle. Increasing , however, there is a movement aspiring to a “little place of their own” which has a maintenance-free lifestyle and a choice of activities and services – trading in the white picket fenced yard for ‘greener grounds.’ Whether year-round or as a welcome escape, residents are eager to indulge in the simplified living within condominium communities, with the ease of ownership and with the freedom that it affords them. With an unusual mix of culture, industry and geography coupled with its sea-side scene, the Gulf Coast has an almost universal appeal. Mindful of that, developers are designing mixed-use, townhome and condominium communities to allow people with a wide range of tastes and lifestyles to enjoy a water-side home which preserves those elements, such as greenspace, water access and unique settings, which help to define the Coast’s appeal. Neighborhoods designed in this manner are more likely than their single-home counterparts to include such lagniappe as jogging trails, pools, covered parking and resident piers – luxury waterfront lifestyle without the millionaire price-tag. Increasingly important to our residents, snowbirds and weekend homeowners, convenience and the high-end comfort of select condominiums have recently been introduced to the Mississippi Coast to meet a variety of personal interests and needs. Gone are the days when suburbia defined your time. America’s New Riviera has come of age and today, you can capture the alternative that a condominium community offers. This year, for example, construction commenced on Biloxi’s only Bay-side condominium home, The Pointé at Bay Cove. Owners will have the security of knowing that their investment is built to new, more stringent codes and that their residences are elevated to the approved FEMA standards- considerations which can mean considerable reductions in insurance rates. Designed for safety on the waterfront and integrated into the surrounding residential landscape, choice local condos are a smart buy for those whose priorities include one-of-a kind home sites, year-round outdoor activities in one of the countries least expensive seaside locales. Demand for Mississippi’s coastal condominium homes is expected to rise as the Biloxi gaming and entertainment market continues to grow, the region’s large shipping and shipbuilding industries continue to expand, and as Baby Boomers move to warmer climes, smaller abodes and more active lifestyles.
