Exploring Pelican Bay — Low Rise Condos
Continuing the Pelican Bay series, this blog post covers the low-rise condominium offerings within the prestigious community. Low-rise condos feature no more than three stories which differentiates them from mid- and high-rise condo buildings. This style of building is perfect for those that desire first-floor units without stairs or less strict association rules. Generally, low-rise condos are the most affordable housing option within Pelican Bay.
Within Pelican Bay, there are 49 condominium sub-communities and 20 of them consist of low-rise buildings. In addition to the Pelican Bay Master HomeOwners Association, each condo community has their own HomeOwners Association (HOA). This is important to consider when searching for a community to call home. Keep reading to learn more about each sought-after community.

Amenities include two community pools, a hot tub, and a clubhouse.
