Its 2009 and we are looking to the future
It a new year, and we are looking forward to some big changes here in Venetian Bay. We hope to break ground on the new supermarket, and open a restaurant, and sports bar this year in the Town Center. Now is a great time to plan your move to Venetian Bay, the prices for both purchases and rentals are at an all time low, and the future looks bright for them to rise.
