I'll be interested to see if A) this is allowed and B) if it is allowed how it works out.

Condos banking on clothing-optional pool to increase sales

Last Update: 10:08 am

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) - A Hillsborough County housing complex is planning to have a clothing-optional pool in an effort to sell units in a slumping market.

A spokeswoman for the project's developer said one pool is being set aside for nude swimmers, sunbathers and hot-tub users at the Arbors at Branch Creek.

Christine Pirkle, director of sales for project-developer Eden Condominiums, said they came up with the strategy for the 390-unit complex to set it apart from other condos.

The rules still must be approved by condo owners, but most of the complex is being rented out. Landscaping is also needed to keep out prying eyes. No one younger than 18 will be allowed in the pool area.

Ooops! You mean-- they didn't set this up before they created their owners association?

"most of the complex is rented out"= not owner-inhabited? Sure, if it keeps the renters renting, the owners will be fine with it. It won't be their nuisance, if nuisance it becomes.


On a tangent, a friend of mine manages a housing complex for retirees. Her bosses hauled her on the carpet Monday. They wanted to know why there are so many vacancies, and so many notices.

She told them; "It's because these people have seen their rents go up two hundred dollars over the past two years, and they assume the raises will continue-- and they are on fixed incomes."

So, she says, the owners are now planning to market to elderly-but-not-retired tenants.

Amazing how easily business people shoot themselves in the foot, eh Stella?
