Laketown Wharf Resort Condos for Sale

About Laketown Wharf Resort

This resort faces water that is not the open coast. Its parcels run along 9902 and 9860 South Thomas Drive, and measured against the 1997 coastal construction control line at each parcel's own longitude the nearest corner of any residence parcel stands about 625 feet north of it. That figure is a residence figure and should be read as one, because the association's own common ground runs well south of every home and reaches the line considerably sooner. The federal flood map puts the whole site in Zone X with no base flood elevation set against any of it, which keeps it outside the special flood hazard area, though the Zone X here is not one shade: most residences sit in the area of minimal hazard while a minority fall in the shaded band mapped for a two tenths of one percent annual chance, and a handful are crossed by the boundary between the two. Either way that is a materially different position from the towers immediately south, which map into VE. Those beachfront towers appear beside Laketown Wharf on the Panama City Beach condo listings, so lake-side units and Gulf-side ones need separating before any pair is compared. The line itself is a state product despite the county's name attaching to it, described by rule 62B-26.024 under the Department of Environmental Protection. The buildings ringing the resort's lake account for 765 parcels the state classes as condominium units, and the roll splits their year built between 2007 and 2008, so no single completion year describes the property. The Census Bureau's areal hydrography names the water reaching the eastern parcel line the western end of Grand Lagoon, so the outlook from the east-facing stacks is over a mapped water body rather than over enclosed grounds alone. The Laketown Wharf market analytics mix all 765 units together, across lagoon, lake and road outlooks and both build years, so a unit's outlook and level need matching before a comparison holds. Reaching the sand is a walk rather than a step: Bay County's beach access layer puts Access 34 at 9812 Beach Boulevard about 1,055 feet from the nearest residence parcel, with Accesses 33, 32 and 31 clustered within a few hundred feet of it along Beach Boulevard. Which of those is closest depends on where on a site this large the walk begins. Municipal history here has more than one answer. Sampled across its own parcels, the city's annexation record returns annexation Ordinance 275 of 1983 over part of the site and a 1998 interlocal instrument over the rest, so no single instrument brought the whole property inside the City of Panama City Beach. Short stays answer to that city's rules, and the Panama City Beach area guide takes in the city beyond the Thomas Drive corridor.
