COSTA DEL SOL



Costa del Sol is a beautiful townhouse community
that was 16 years in the making but is now complete. Noted for it's lovely
established landscaping including superb mature trees, and it's views of
the golf course and many lakes. Some of the lakes, complete with ubiquitous
ducks, geese and herons, meander between the homes. Others have the rolling
fairways as a backdrop.

Costa del Sol was built in three phases each with it's own distinctive models but the phases interleave with each other for a balanced whole. Five streets, Costa del Sol Boulevard, and Estepona, Adra, Torremolinos and Adra Avenues connect with 28 clusters of homes, each with distinctive names reminiscent of Spain's Costa del Sol. Each cluster has it's own budget decided upon by the individual cluster residents who elect a representative to the Master Association, democracy at it's best!

While Costa del Sol has full on-site management by an outside company, the elected Board of Directors works closely with them supervising the details. The monthly maintenance fees may seem high, at first glance, but they encompass everything and close analysis shows that they are in fact, a bargain compared with other local areas. Included is all exterior maintenance - roofs, walls, painting etc. and even screen repairs, (the latter not in all clusters), complete structural insurance including flood, landscaping, a state of the art computerized security system, use of the community pool, tennis courts, in-line roller rink and kiddie playground, a recently renovated clubhouse, cable TV, water and sewer, trash removal, roads and streetlights - a totally comprehensive package. While the golf course, driving range and putting green are owned by a separate company, and are not maintained by Costa del Sol, residents usually have discounts on annual memberships.

Phase I.

Built by a private builder between 1974 and 1977, these original models offer space, loads of closets and large amounts of extra parking all set amid luxurious greenery with waterfalls and coral rock fountains. There are eight basically different models as follows: (Cited square footage is taken from the Tax Rolls of Dade County and is for a basic, not enlarged home).

"Alcantara"a one story, 2 bedroom 2 bath at 1398 sq ft.
"Deauville" - a two story, 2 bedroom ½ at 1600 sq ft.
"Royal Ibiza" - a one story, 2 bedroom 2 bath at 1550 sq ft.
"Bahia" - a two story, three bedroom 2½ bath at 1960 sq ft.

"Alhambra", one story,2 bedrooms 2 baths at 1560 sq ft.
"Barcelona", two story, 3 bedrooms 2½ at 1960 sq ft.

All of these models feature covered single or double carports, some with wrought iron gates. Two story 2 bedroom models feature private sundecks some of which have been enclosed for extra living space. All homes have patios, mostly screened, and some also have atriums. Many of the current resale properties have been substantially updated and the quality of these homes makes that well worthwhile. At this time (April 2002) there is 1 resale home on the market in this phase, a 3/2.5 Barcelona asking $185,000.

Phase II.

This phase was built in 1981 by F & R Builders, a subsidiary of Lennar. They had the luxury South American market in mind and the upgraded details really reflect that. At that time, many of Lennar's top brass and their families lived here - even including the company president! There are three models, all two stories: (Cited square footage is taken from the Tax Rolls of Dade County and is for a basic, not enlarged home).

"Riviera" - 2 bedrooms and 2½ baths at 1843 sq ft.
"Costa Brava" - 2 bedrooms and 2½ baths with a family room at 1983 sq feet.
"Mediterranean" - 3 bedrooms and 2½ baths with a family room at 2070 square feet.

All townhouses have large patios, some screened, and large walled front gardens.

Phase III.

The largest group, built by Lennar between 1984 and 1990. The homes feature light, airy rooms and they have always been "hot" sellers, so much so, that Lennar has repeated these floor plans in Doral Park many times over. They also now appear in Doral Isles under new names and new elevations. Needless to say, those cost many thousands of dollars more and often do not have the beautiful golf and lake locations to be found in Costa del Sol. There are three models: (Cited square footage is taken from the Tax Rolls of Dade County and is for a basic, not enlarged home).

"Portofino" - one story, 2 bedroom with a den and 2 baths at 1524 sq feet.
"San Tropez" - two story, 3 bedrooms 2½ baths at 1712 sq feet.
"San Remo" - two story, 2 bedrooms 2½ baths at 1423 sq feet".

All homes have spacious rear patios, mostly screened, some with in-ground spas. There is also an enclosed front patio with wrought iron gates and the homes all have one-car garages. At this time (April 2002) there are 3 resale homes on the market in this phase, a San Remo asking $185,000 and 2 San Tropez' at $187,000 and $199,999.
