One way to live sustainably is to have everything you could possibly want in walking distance from your home. Akoya, the new contemporary state-of-the-art nine-story condominium addition to the Boca West Country Club coming soon, does just that.
Akoya is within walking distance to over 400,000 square feet of facilities and amenities at the 5-star private club that has won awards annually since 1997. These amenities include:
- Six restaurants offering a variety of dining options.
- Four 18-hole championship golf courses.
- 31-court tennis complex including Pickleball courts.
- World-class spa offering 23 themed treatment rooms, salon services, and relaxation areas.
- Fitness and aquatics center offering many classes including aerobics, sculpting, yoga, meditation, Pilates, water aerobics, and resistance training.
- Entertainment venues such as card rooms and party rooms.
- Shopping boutiques.
The residences at Akoya will also have their own separate amenities, including a resort-style swimming pool and sun deck, fitness center, social room, and card rooms.
Besides walking, residents can easily get around the community by bicycles or golf carts, leaving their cars behind. Akoya will also have several charging stations for electric cars, making it easy to drive more energy-efficiently around town.
The new building is being developed using high energy-efficiency specifications. Windows will be tinted with UV-rated material, insulation will be highly rated for efficiency, and the air conditioning system will be as energy-efficient as possible.
A natural oasis will also be at Akoya residents’ fingertips. Boca West has a large Nature Preserve that includes a boardwalk trail winding around a wooded land area set aside when the community was built. It offers a shady, peaceful place for residents to enjoy the tropical scenery and wildlife. There are observatory signs highlighting facts about the local vegetation and wildlife, and seating areas along the path.
In addition, there are 200 acres of pristine lakes that attract a large population of water birds. In fact, Boca West has been noted as a model to other communities for their innovative algae control through a partnership with experts at the University of Florida.
