PearTree Development at 1900 Gerda (former Dolphin Swim Club site)

The long-vacant swim club site will become ten single-family homes around $475,000 each, with a private road, an HOA-maintained path to Rondeau Park, and on-site stormwater retention designed for a 25-year storm. A neighbor warned of chronic drainage problems along Rondo Street that he hopes the development won't worsen.
