| | | What is the Difference between an Apartment and a Condominium?
Condominiums are usually attached to one another similar to apartment units. The difference between an apartment and a condominium is that a condominium owner owns the unit and shares ownership of common areas with other condominium owners such as the clubhouse, pools, elevators, stairwells, parking lots, etc. Apartments on the other hand are not for sale; one must pay monthly rent to the landlord aka owner of the apartment building. As a condominium owner, you are a member of an HOA (Homeowners Association) and pay a monthly fee to the association in exchange for maintenance of the common areas.
What is a Modified Bitumen Roof?
A Modified Bitumen Roof is applied by using a torch to the back of a rubber-like membrane and melted into the roofs base ply. A Modified Bitumen Roof is often used on commercial buildings and mid-rise condominiums. It has a light-colored mineral surface that reflects heat and cuts energy bills. A typical Modified Bitumen Roof lasts approximately 10-20 years.
What is Concrete Block Construction?

VANDERBILT BEACH Information | Location and History
Vanderbilt Beach is bordered by Bluebill Avenue to the north, Vanderbilt Beach Road to the south, Vanderbilt Drive to the east and the Gulf of Mexico on the west. One of Vanderbilt Beach's founders, J.B. Conners was a road builder from Tampa who developed Vanderbilt Beach by hydraulically dredging a channel from Wiggins Pass to what is now the Vanderbilt Canal and Vanderbilt Bay. It is said that Conners chose the name "Vanderbilt Beach" as a marketing ploy to create an impression of wealth and prestige. Conners began the platting process in 1953 and completed it in 1959. Conners envisioned a deed-restricted community with single and multiple family units, parks and open areas plus easy water access. To preserve his vision, he created the Vanderbilt Beach Property Owners Association in 1968. In the late 1970s, the building boom began with construction of both single-family homes and condominiums for both full and part-time residents. In recent years many planned developments and buildings have been developed. Many of the original homes and cottages have been torn down to make way for larger and more exquisite living areas. While the community has been altered through growth, the Homeowners Association has made every effort to maintain the quiet residential character that Vanderbilt Beach has come to be known. | | | Property and Home Style(s)- Vanderbilt Beach consists of various Single Family Homes, Hi-Rise Condominiums and Mid-Rise Condominiums.

The Turtle Club | | | What is Considered to be a High-Rise Building in Southwest Florida?
A high-rise building in Southwest Florida is considered to be 8 or more stories although a high-rise building in Naples does not contain more than 22 stories or 265 feet in height. A high-rise building in Southwest Florida mainly contains condominiums and usually has more amenities than a mid-rise or a low-rise building because the space allows it and the clientele demands it. There is often a grand lobby, 24-hour security, pools, tennis and sub-building parking or a separate parking structure all together. There are also sweeping views, which is an obvious byproduct of living on the top floors.
What is Considered to be a Mid-Rise Building in Southwest Florida?
A mid-rise building in Southwest Florida is considered to be between 4 - 7 stories and does not usually exceed 90 feet in height. A mid-rise building may contain condominiums, co-ops and apartments. A mid-rise building may have more amenities than a low-rise building as there are more moving parts such as elevators and sometimes a lobby. Parking for a midrise building is often detached or under carports although sub-building parking is increasing in newer construction. | | | La Playa Beach and Golf Resort offers private beach, pools, Tiki bar, restaurants, water sports, jacuzzi, steam room, spa and workout facilities.
