Just minutes from home are fabulous beaches & historic downtown Venice. Nearby downtown Wellen Park is a dynamic hub of restaurants, boutiques, outdoor gathering spaces, and scenic 80-acre Grand Lake, where weekly live music performances, farmers’ markets, art festivals, and community celebrations bring neighbors together throughout the year. Baseball enthusiasts will appreciate proximity to CoolToday Park, spring training home of the Atlanta Braves, where games, concerts, festivals, and family-friendly community events energize the season.
