Central Park II may be the best-kept secret in local condo living: It has the best location--two blocks from downtown, the bayfront and the Legacy Trail. There is a dock with boat access, fishing, a kayak launch or just sitting and watching the fish jump and the manatees float by. It has country club amenities--pool & hot tub, lighted tennis & pickleball court, fishing & kayaking, a fitness room & showers, a clubhouse with a library and kitchen that can be rented for private events, two bike sheds and a side-gate access to get you downtown or to the bayfront even faster. Across the street from a two-story Publix. If you cross the street toward downtown, prices begin to double. This particular condo is ideal: Ground floor, corner unit (additional window), new HVAC (2024) and water heater, sharp wood-look tile, crown molding and easy to rent. Central Park II presents a great quality of life--or a great investment that is easy to rent.
