Lilydale is tiny, vertical, and hidden. Known for its luxury condo towers overlooking the Mississippi River and the Pool and Yacht Club. It is a haven for empty nesters who want views and zero maintenance.

HOA fees here can be steep (+), but they cover everything. For the target demographic (retired, travel-heavy), this consolidation of bills is a selling point, not a deterrent.

Real Talk Warning

There is literally no 'town'. It is condos and a road. You drive for a gallon of milk.
