I went today and saw a new listing at 2201 Marina Isle Way Unit 505 in the Marina at the Bluffs in Jupiter FL asking 326,206.  This top floor unit in the intracoastal fronting building 21 at the Marina at the Bluffs DOES HAVE NOT ONE BUT 2 BALCONIES.  One balcony is off the living area and the other is off the master bedroom.  The cat walk on the front faces a gap in the buildings on the other side of the parking lot so one see the marina from the cat walk.  This is a very pleasant location but basically the unit needs a face lift.  The AC is 2007, so a few years left in that.  The kitchen, and both baths are dated and the flooring is tired with the exception of the tile in the front hall.  There are accordion style hurricane shutters installed and the all the windows operate just fine.  The top floor in this building does NOT have cathedral ceilings as some buildings do.

I went and looked at int 508 in the Villas on the Green in Jupiter at 717 S US Highway One.  This unit has a decent location in the community back away from the road noise and very close to the gate into Carlin Park.  It faces a lake in the back, which is south BTW,  but the view is obscured by the tree and the tree makes the unit very dark.  This unit needs a 100% renovation including windows and doors, kitchen, baths, pop corn scrape and flooring.  My honest opinion, there are better values to be had in the community.

I went to see unit 107 in the Juno by the Sea Building in Juno Beach at 900 Ocean Drive.  This is a first floor VERY easy access unit that has been fully renovated and is SUPER NICE.  Granted this is one of my favorite buildings as I love that when you are sitting on the balcony it feels like you are in a lawn chair on the beach.  The kitchen plus both baths along with flooring have been totally redone with impact rated doors and windows and a very nice level of fish.  The pop corn is scraped off the ceiling and being an end unit there are more windows on the side wall of the living room.  It is still dark in the unit more than one would expect as the hallway outside the door is dark and the side windows look into a surfboard storage area.  The unit is on the first floor so you will never take the elevator and it is right next to the gate to the parking garage with pool above and the gate down onto the beach.  If you’re looking for a beach pad they do not get much better than this one.
