Southshore Falls, located between US-41 and I-75, is a gated and resort-style Apollo Beach neighborhood with lagoon-style pools and palm-lined streets. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the clubhouse and pool complex, where shaded lanais, pickleball courts, and a steady rhythm of walkers set the tone. Homes lean contemporary Florida with stucco exteriors, screened patios, and tidy, HOA-kept landscaping. Curving internal roads and pocket lakes shape a quiet, self-contained feel. For a local outing, the Apollo Beach waterfront scene gathers at Circles Waterfront Restaurant and the nearby marina slips. Manatee Viewing Center and Apollo Beach Nature Preserve add a salt-air backdrop beyond the gates.

PD
Planned Development District
The PD District is intended to be used when unified, large scale, mixed use developments are proposed in areas lacking a predominant urban/suburban development pattern and adjacent land use compatibility is not a significant factor. Broad, general concept plans would be permitted with limited flexibility to accommodate land use changes in response to evolving market conditions.
