Lagoon Living Tip of the Day:
Notice the Water Color
Water color tells a story.
💚 Green often means healthy phytoplankton.
💙 Dark water may simply reflect depth.
🤎 Brown water often follows heavy rain as tannins wash downstream.
Crystal clear water isn't always the healthiest water. The lagoon is constantly changing.

Visit Local Parks Before Buying
One of the easiest ways to judge a community is by visiting its parks.
Ask yourself:
- Are families using them?
- Are they clean?
- Are they well maintained?
- Do they offer waterfront access?
- Would you enjoy spending time there?
Great parks usually reflect an engaged community.
