Video of various condo interiors at the Villas at Magens Bay...
Currently (December 2009) there are three 12 plex buildings that make up the Villas at Magens Bay. Construction started in 2005 with the first two 12 plexes being completed in 2006 and the third in 2007. A fourth 12 plex has been put on hold until the economy and the real estate market improve.
How big are the units and what can I expect to find inside? There is one basic floor plan of 1215 square feet with 2 bedrooms and 2 full baths. The kitchen, dining and living room areas flow into one another with a spacious feeling. The 9ft ceilings add to the feeling of openness.
How many floors? The interior of each condo is one level and each building is three floors with 4 villas per floor making 12 units (or 12 plex). Each of the three 12 plexes has an elevator.
