Costa d'Oro

This was the first of three "Costas at Doral" communities, Costa del Oro, Costa Bella and Costa Brava. The other two are north of 41st Street.

The three models are named for three towns on the coast of Italy and there is certainly an Italian look to the homes.

All homes have enclosed garages, and include all appliances, (refrigerator, dishwasher, stove, microwave, disposer, washer and dryer), oversized tile floors downstairs and carpet upstairs. All homes have dramatic high ceilings on both floors and there are many extra touches usually only found in much more expensive homes. Options available included upgraded kitchen counters and tiled patios.

These are new homes and square footage quoted is the builder's measurement. (Square footage quoted for other completed communities are tax roll adjusted square footage).

The San Remo. This model is a 2 bedroom, 2 bath model - but both bedrooms are masters with master-sized baths and master sized closets. Living area 1450 sq ft.

The San Marco. This model is a 3 bedroom, 2½ bath model with living, dining, family and breakfast rooms. Living area 1850 sq ft.

The San Marino. A 4 bedroom, 2½ bath model with living, dining and family rooms. There is also a covered terrace behind and a courtyard in front. Living area 2010 sq ft.

While this community does not have a recreational area attached, beyond a central, landscaped "tot lot", this translates into much lower monthly maintenance fees than those generally to be found in the Doral area - the salesagents quoted an expected $55 a month when an Association should be formed.

Currently, (April 2002) there are no resales on the market.
