116 Lake Emerald Dr

Lake Emerald is a low-rise, four-story condominium complex completed in 1985 and arranged around a large, spring-fed lake. Units are predominantly two-bedroom layouts with split bedroom planning, screened balconies or porches that overlook the water, and interior features such as eat-in kitchens, walk-in closets, in-unit laundry connections, and accessible first-floor entry options. The development reads as a resort-style community: buildings are set within gated grounds with 24-hour guard coverage, extensive walking/jogging paths that trace the lake, and multiple outdoor leisure spaces including porches, barbecue areas, and tennis courts. Shared facilities emphasize recreation — three heated pools and spas, a fitness center, clubhouse with event programming, saunas, poolside dining services and lakeside cabanas — alongside practical services such as on-site management and assigned plus guest parking. Recent large-scale capital work completed as part of a 40-year recertification includes a new roof, concrete restoration, stucco replacement, balcony repairs, waterproofing and exterior painting. Pet rules are permissive for small animals (restrictions vary by unit/building), and some condominium fees cover utilities and premium cable. The overall character is suburban-resort: low-rise scale, strong outdoor orientation, and community amenities that support active, social waterfront living within easy driving distance to beaches and downtown corridors.
