The Palms of Cortez offers a full resort-style gated community that provides both maintenance-free and stress-free living, with 24-hour gated entry and on-site security. This condo has one of the lowest maintenance fees, which includes building insurance, pest control, reserves for roof replacement covered by the HOA, lawn maintenance, and all exterior building upkeep including painting and pressure washing. It also covers the maintenance of all resort-style amenities, including a lavish pool, dual tennis courts and pickleball courts—it is marked for both. A fully equipped fitness center, children’s playground, and picnic pavilions with grilling/BBQ stations round out the impressive offerings. The clubhouse features a rentable event room with a full-service kitchen, media setup, and public restrooms. It can be reserved by community members for parties and events at no charge, just a refundable damage deposit. Make sure to check out all of the community photos. Relax on the enclosed screened porch—true worry-free living at its finest.
