Palmetto Dunes, Shelter Cove and Leamington Community Enhancements

The Community Enhancement Fees have been established to help give us the necessary funds to maintain, improve and enhance the infrastructure of Palmetto Dunes and Leamington and to continually beautify our award-winning community. The Community Enhancement Fee goes towards special projects such as, but not limited to, upgrading railings, lighting, landscaping, signage, beach access paths and guardhouses. The Community Enhancement Fee is collected and paid (by the purchaser) at time of all real estate closings. The amount of the fee currently established by the Boards are one-quarter (1/4) of one percent (1%) of the selling price of the property for Palmetto Dunes and one-half (1/2) of one percent (1%) of the selling price of the property for Leamington.

This has been a busy year as you will see below in the list of improvements that were completed through Community Enhancement Fees and our Annual POA Fees. These not only improve the “quality of life” here, but also increase property values!

Shelter Cove

Exciting Changes are coming to Shelter Cove!

• Tearing down most of the existing Mall with the exception of Belk
• Adding a Kroger Grocery store to serve as a second anchor in addition to Belk
• Adding a walking village of shops to occupy 250,000 square feet of retail space
• Addition of 220 apartments overlooking Broad Creek
• Addition of outdoor cafes
• Improving open / green space with spectacular views to Broad Creek
• Improved leisure pathways
• Addition of a Waterfront Park to include a promenade, boardwalks and pavilions overlooking the marsh

As an owner, I am personally very excited about the transformation of The Mall; it is going to be gorgeous! Finally the gorgeous views of Broad Creek will become a focal point of our neighborhood! The redevelopment of The Mall will enhance our quality of life and should have a positive impact on increasing values. It is anticipated that the necessary permits will be in place by March and the redevelopment should be completed within a year.
