The property may be rented with restrictions after 2 years of ownership. In this present real estate market that is a very wise move.
The community was initially developed in the 70’s and building continued for several years. Many of the residences are “stuck” in the decade that they were built in. The properties have at least 2 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms. The kitchens are generally a functional size often with room for a kitchen table. The floor plans reflect the style of that era but will adapt easily to today’s style of open living easily. Some of the floor plans in the 2 story townhouses were ahead of their time and will fit today’s way of living beautifully.
So if you are looking to buy and you want a great deal, Rainberry Bay is worth checking out. If you are the buyer who is getting ready to retire and you are on the younger side of the retirement scale, Rainberry is worth checking out.

The residences here will most likely require a little TLC but not all. If remodeling is needed, in the end you will have the perfect south Florida home to accommodate your family and friends.
