Unique Investment For The Future on
South Padre Island
For the individual who sees South Padre Island as a future investment look at Continental Condominiums. A unique and interesting condo on the beach. This is a very nice 2 bedroom top floor North corner unit in a small 15 unit project with pool and fantastic beach views with an asking price of $325,000. What makes this condo different from the others is that it is in a 15 unit project situated on 3 beach front lots with 2 extra lots across the street for parking. Consider that beach front lots in town are listing at 1.2 to 1.5 million each the land value of each unit is in the $280,000 to $300,000 range. In todays market this project is land rich. Some developer is going to come in one day and make an offer on all 15 units that the owners can't refuse. That developer will then build a premium hi-rise condo project on this site.

Enjoy it while you wait

THEY CAME-THEY SAW-THEY CONQUERED
AND LIKE CAESAR THEY BUILT A MONUMENT
WE CALL IT
“THE MEDIAN”
At least on good days we call it “THE MEDIAN”. Other days we call it unprintable things depending on our mood, the amount of traffic and what we need to accomplish. But, by any name you want to call it, it represents a major change on South Padre Island. THE MEDIAN is the SYMBOL of THE NEW SOUTH PADRE ISLAND. (I planned on saying “new and improved South Padre Island” - but improved? – I’m not too sure of that - particularly after the last elections.)
The baby boomers have arrived and are changing the face of our sand spit. The Median, the New City Hall, improvements to the sidewalks, landscaping and city codes controlling signage and colors are creating a whole new and improved look for the Island. The baby boomers and retirees are demanding a more upscale environment to live in and they are getting it. I lament the losss of the old South Padre Island that I loved but progress and change are inevitable - so on with the NEW.
NOW IF WE COULD JUST BURY THOSE DAMMED UGLY POWER LINES.
