3501 S Atlantic Ave

A low-rise oceanfront condominium complex built in 1975, this five-story property contains a mix of studios, one- and two-bedroom units configured for seasonal and year-round living. Architecture is typical of mid-1970s coastal developments with rectilinear massing, sliding glass doors and private balconies that emphasize water views. Interiors commonly feature open-plan living and eat-in kitchens, kitchen islands or breakfast bars, tray ceilings, stone counters and solid wood cabinets; many units have been renovated over time with tile or laminate floors, updated kitchens and modern lighting. Shared areas include an on-site lobby served by an elevator, a community room with game tables and a small library, outdoor gathering spaces with grills, shuffleboard courts and seasonal heated pool, plus dedicated storage for beach gear and bicycle racks. Exterior amenities prioritize beachfront access and outdoor living: direct, secure walkways to the sand, outdoor showers, irrigation and lighting for landscaped grounds. Practical building elements include on-site management, guest parking, hurricane shutters and elevator service. The complex has a history of being rental-friendly and pet-permissive in many units, with on-site rental income potential from first-floor or short-term leases. Located in New Smyrna Beach, the property sits close to shops, dining, the intracoastal waterway and local recreation, offering a coastal lifestyle centered on beach access and casual community amenities.
