There's no doubt about it, most people would choose one of the beachfront Bay Colony high-rises if given a choice but, if you really don't want to shell out the $3,000,000 plus for a beachfront condo with a view...then your next best options are:

Here's are a few points as to why you should consider one of these three buildings if you were originally thinking Bay Colony Beachfront but have decided against spending the few extra bucks it takes to get in:

- Terrific view of the Gulf of Mexico, Clam Pass and sparkling city lights for evening accent compared to just a black background when you're positioned directly on the Gulf (not much boat traffic at night)
- Pricing in Toscana Salerno and Marquesa begin at $1,230,000 compared to over $2,000,000 for a beachfront condo.
- The pools at Toscana, Salerno and Marquesa have more of a southern exposure compared to the beachfront condo pools which all face west providing more sunlight during the morning hours.
- Membership to the fabulous amenities of Bay Colony including the Bay Colony Beach Club are still enjoyed by residents in these buildings.
Salerno, Toscana and Marquesa are all doing quite well market wise too despite other areas that have experienced slowing sales!
