A Floating City of River Condos

We visited a a floating condominium parked here in Port of La Crosse. The name of the condos is River Cities Floating Condominiums. A developer from St. Paul,MN has come up with the idea of having a floating city of condominiums which are built on a barge style hull and would travel on the many different waterways here in the United States. The name of the first city is called the Marquette, it will contain approximately 180 condominiums from studios to 2 bedroom units ranging from 528 square feet to 924 square feet. They have many different types of ownership choices to choose from, 2 months to all year, with prices ranging from $55,000 to $1,800,000.
The waterways they travel are maintained by the US Army Corps of Engineers so they have no worries of hitting obstructions in the rivers. The route is an annual cruise route of about 10,700 miles with 155 different overnight stops in 18 states.
The River Cities also offers restaurants, lounges, deli and grocery stores, spas, fitness gym, satellite, 18 hole golf course and some small pets are welcome.

Here are a few photos of an example condominium that we took on our visit but be sure to visit their web site for more information using our link to their site, it is a very interesting way to visit the Upper Mississippi River Valley and other river valleys too.
This could be your adventure of a lifetime you are looking for, make the river your home or vacation getaway as you follow the seasons to your next adventure and when you are back here in the Upper Mississippi River Valley you will be able to check our web site for adventures to do while in our area.
