6901 N Lagoon Dr

A low-rise waterfront condominium complex completed in 1974, Palisades spans two stories of garden-style townhome units laid out along the Grand Lagoon shoreline. The development is primarily two-bedroom residences, many arranged townhouse-style with upstairs primary suites and downstairs living areas that open to covered patios or screened porches. Architecturally modest and vernacular to 1970s coastal Florida, buildings are set among mature live oaks and landscaped grounds that create a park-like campus. Common areas emphasize outdoor recreation: a community pool, tennis courts, a clubhouse/meeting room and a community dock with multiple boat slips offered on a first-come, first-served basis. Parking is provided by covered carports adjacent to units, often paired with lockable storage rooms and small utility sheds; some ground-floor homes have assigned covered spaces. Interior features vary by unit but commonly include breakfast bars, original and updated kitchens, tiled patios or balconies with lagoon views, in-unit laundry or stacked washer/dryer spaces, and a mix of tub/shower and shower-only baths. The association maintains exterior painting and recent roof replacements; utilities such as water, trash and pool maintenance are typically covered in association fees. Short-term rentals are discouraged by the community culture; the location places residents within minutes of beaches, waterfront dining, St. Andrews State Park and local shopping along Thomas Drive.
