Enjoy peace of mind knowing it is in FLOOD ZONE X, has SOLID INSURANCE and a NEW ROOF project underway! A well-run HOA keeping up with regular maintenance, projects and state inspections means owners costs have remained stable.

All this means YOU can move in right in now and embrace the true Venice Florida Vibe. Lets talk about the unit. True CONVENIENCE, on the GROUND FLOOR!
