Buyers who appreciate having outdoor and indoor space will enjoy the courtyards and lanais enclosed in glass that some of the condos at Tallywood offer. These homes have two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and carport space. The sizes are between 1,109 and 1,668 square feet, and many of the resale condos available have a den and upgrades such as tile floors.
