It is very interesting to look at the progress this fine community has made since Frank Roche sold the original parcel of land to the developers in the early 1980s. Can you imagine that the original land parcel sold for only $250,000? Compare this to the median sales price of $888,180 in 2024 for just one condominium unit, and there are 130 units! It sure points to a successful real estate investment that was made by general investment real estate development in the early 80’s.
