Frangista Beach Homes for Sale

Living in Frangista Beach

Frangista Beach preserves the low-density, old-Florida feel along Scenic Gulf Drive: short streets running toward the water on named blocks like Miami, Hollywood, Sarasota, and Penelope. The product here is the detached house near the sand rather than the tower unit, a different offer from most of this stretch of the corridor. The houses are sized very differently from one another, and the homeowners association publishes the evidence: its beach access address roster carries a permitted occupancy for each address in the subdivision, and those figures run from ten at the smaller houses into the twenties and thirties at the largest. Anything built before 2000 deserves a separate look at land value versus structure. With Pompano Joe's within walking distance, day-to-day life here happens on foot. Beach access is the detail to settle before writing an offer. The accesses belong to the association rather than the county, the association issues the gate codes, and it limits the deeded right to use Frangista Beach to its members and their guests. Access is also not uniform across the subdivision: the association states that Third Addition residents, meaning certain portions of the Villas of Frangista and the Penelope Street cul-de-sac, do not have deeded access, and it publishes an address list so a buyer can check a specific house.
