Why buy in Peninsula 19?



Location! 

Peninsula 19 is conveniently located 19 miles from the tip of the Bolivar peninsula and 7 miles from High Island.  It is away from the crowds of Crystal Beach but an easy commute to restaurants and shopping. Plus it is just about the closest neighborhood to the fantastic fishing at Rollover Pass.  Additionally its location bayside, across highway 87 from the beach, provides a buffer from storms and high tides which can wash away your property.  Hurricane Ike actually left a layer of sand and added to the property rather than eroding it away.


Design!

From the moment you pass by the entry monument and see the custom old fishing village style light posts flanking the entry, you will know that this neighborhood is different than all the rest.  Thoughtful touches in the sidewalks, street signs, community retail center at the entry, and ultimately in the architecture of the beach houses will set this neighborhood on a different plane then all the rest.  It will feel like it has been there forever because of its simplicity, yet with community water, sewer, new paved roads and natural landscaping it will be anything but primitive.


Views!

Peninsula 19 is located in one of the thinnest sections of the Bolivar Peninsula just across the street from the beach. This spot gives you ocean views to the south and bay views to the East.  There really is no bad lot as you will see water, not only from one direction, but two, providing views from two different sides of the house! Additionally the intracoastal highway provides a view of serene tugboat and barge traffic that beats rush hour any day!


Beach Access!  

What is a beach community without beach access?  Well, how about not one but two beach access points?!  Across from the beach view highway 87 frontage lots are two separate beach public access paths to facilitate passing your day away fishing in the surf, searching for shells, or just soaking up rays on the sand.  It’s the best of both worlds—easy beach access, no lot erosion worries!


Value!

History has shown that some of the highest initial property value increases, sustained resale values, and vacation rental rates have been design focused beach communities such as Peninsula 19.  Some examples of design focused neighborhoods that have followed this principle include Bella Beach, OR, Seabrook, WA, Seaside, FL, and Rosemary Beach Fl.  Peninsula 19 has initial lot costs that are very competitive with other lots available on the Bolivar Peninsula, but once the word gets out about the design, aesthetic, and simplicity of the neighborhood, lot and home values are likely to not only increase, but increase significantly.  Additionally, if you choose to offer your home for the popular summer or holiday rental market, you can expect Peninsula 19 to be a highly desired destination for many of those who choose to vacation on the coast.


Self Directed Sustainability!

This big phrase simply means that as a lot owner, you can decide how sustainable you want to be.  We absolutely encourage the strongest, greenest,  most sustainable structure you can afford, but we also recognize the balance that has to be made with budget.  Peninsula 19 will support efforts towards sustainable building and lifestyle, but will impose no directives on any of the lot owners beyond the specifics required in the Deed Restrictions and county required engineering and building codes.  Start where you can and build from there. 



I felt I could build the best neighborhood on Bolivar, and I think I have.  Come see what we have to offer, and if you like it, Join us for a simpler beach lifestyle in our beautiful ocean view community.
