Must SeeTop 10 Florida Condos For SaleIf you think the prospect of retirement is too restrictive or, heaven forbid - boring, here’s a fresh idea that may change your mind. Everyone fears getting too old to have continuing adventures, but the people at River Cities Condos have gone all out to say it ain’t so.
Even if you’re confined to a wheelchair, you can have a new adventure every day without ever leaving your home. Follow the spring flower blooms as you travel up the waterways to the northern parts of the United States, or outrace the winter as you head south to the wide beaches of the Texas coast. These are floating condos that can go almost anyplace where there is a river or bay.
The first River Cities condo will be the Marquette, built on barges that can be hooked together side-by-side for wide waterways such as the Mississippi River, or can be unhooked and attached end-to-end to navigate and explore the nation’s narrow scenic waterways. The boat will always be rolling on rivers and waterways, except while in port for restocking and land excursions.
While the condos are on the move, amenities include swimming pools, hot tubs, gym, walking course, restaurants, lounge, chip golf green and a library. If you don’t want to live there full-time, there are many different packages with increments of ownership. If you want to have family aboard that won’t fit into your own condo, there are guest condos available for spill over.
The floating condo sales were on hold during the real estate crash, but have now restarted. A $1,000 refundable deposit is required to reserve a unit. Packages range from a low of $54,600 for two months a year in a 528 square-foot studio to $499,000 for full time floating in their largest built-out custom condo. Completion date depends on future sales. So far, 25% of the condos have been sold.
The Marquette will cruise the northern rivers in the summer and the southern rivers and Intracoastal Waterways in the winter.
