Who Villa del Paraiso Is For

Two different kinds of buyer

Residential buyers are drawn to the walkable location directly across from the beach, near shops, a bakery, golf and wineries. One listing described a top-floor end-unit penthouse with panoramic lake views, three bedrooms and two bathrooms.

Commercial buyers or tenants get lakeside street frontage on a visible corner. Neighbouring businesses mentioned in MLS® remarks include a bakery, a property-management office, cleaning services and massage therapy.

Mixed-use strata have their own considerations — shared costs between residential and commercial owners, use restrictions, and different insurance and financing treatment. Review the bylaws and any commercial/residential cost-sharing in the strata documents.
