What residents like

- ✓Central Pelican Bay location within easy reach of Waterside Shops and Clam Pass Park
- ✓Lower-rise (5-story) building than many of Pelican Bay's high-rise towers
Common complaints
- ✕As with other Pelican Bay condos, units are individually owned so interiors and lease terms vary by owner

- ✕Limited amenity variety compared to the Claridge's full spa/sauna/fitness package
Our take
A mid-rise, 134-unit condominium in the heart of Pelican Bay with a pool, tennis court, and clubhouse. Its larger unit count means somewhat more rental availability than Pelican Bay's smaller towers, though pricing remains in line with the neighborhood's upscale, owner-leased condo market.

About these pros & cons
How we build these pages: we read publicly available resident reviews (Google, ApartmentRatings, Yelp, Reddit and similar) for each community and summarize the recurring themes in our own words. We don't copy review text, we don't display star ratings we didn't compute, and no complex has paid to appear or to have anything removed. Cons reflect what residents report — experiences vary. Rent ranges come from public listings and change often; always confirm current pricing, fees and policies with the property directly.
