Developed primarily in 1985 and 1986, Clubside is known for its spacious single-story floor plans, mature landscaping, and residential appearance.

Clubside at Palm Aire Condos & Residences
Clubside consists of 64 condominium residences organized into two recorded sections. Clubside Unit I contains 38 residences, while Unit II contains 26 residences.
Most properties were developed during the mid-1980s and feature comfortable one-story living arrangements. The villa-style buildings provide the appearance and convenience of single-family residential living with the maintenance arrangements associated with condominium ownership.
Two-bedroom, two-bathroom floor plans are common, while larger configurations include three bedrooms and additional flexible living space. Many residences offer approximately 1,300 to 1,600 square feet of air-conditioned living area, with some larger homes exceeding 2,000 square feet.
Depending on the property, interior features may include spacious living and dining rooms, open floor plans, cathedral or vaulted ceilings, eat-in kitchens, breakfast areas, walk-in closets, and private primary bedroom suites.
Screened or enclosed lanais provide comfortable outdoor living spaces. Select residences feature golf-course views, landscaped greenbelts, or mature oak trees, creating an attractive setting for relaxing or entertaining.
Attached garages are a particularly appealing feature of Clubside. Documented residences include one- and two-car garage arrangements, along with private driveways and additional storage space.
Many homes have been updated over the years with renovated kitchens, modern countertops, upgraded flooring, remodeled bathrooms, replacement appliances, and improvements to windows, doors, and outdoor living areas.
Buyers should compare individual units for living area, floor plans, interior renovations, garage capacity, golf-course views, roof and exterior maintenance responsibilities, and overall property condition.
Clubside Condominium Association & Maintenance
Clubside is governed by Clubside at Palm-Aire Condominium Association, with separate recorded condominium filings for Units I and II. Owners are subject to the applicable condominium documents, association rules, budgets, and assessments.
Condominium ownership can simplify certain maintenance responsibilities compared with a traditional fee-simple single-family home. However, the specific services included with Clubside assessments should be verified through current association records.
Published property listings identify association-supported expenses that may include:
- Exterior building and structural maintenance
- Landscaping and common-area grounds maintenance
- Community swimming pool and spa maintenance
- Shared recreational facilities
- Association management
- Cable television services
- Private-road maintenance
- Common-area taxes and applicable insurance expenses
- Reserve contributions and other shared obligations
- Additional services such as pest control, sewer, or trash where included
Buyers should obtain the current condominium documents and budget to confirm which services are included, along with the responsibility for roofs, building insurance, exterior improvements, windows, doors, and individual unit repairs.
Association fees, reserve funding, special assessments, rental restrictions, pet policies, parking rules, and approval procedures may change. Prospective buyers should verify all current requirements before purchasing.
Although some real estate websites classify Clubside residences as villas or single-family homes based on their architectural style, documented properties are legally condominiums.
Palm Aire Country Club membership is optional and separate from Clubside condominium ownership.
