The mid-Pinellas County beach communities
-
12/9/2010
This area includes the small beachtowns immediately north and west of St. Petersburg include Madeira Beach, Redington Beach, N. Redington Beach, and Redington Shores. These towns are located along a narrow strip of off shore barrier islands lying between the beautiful Gulf of Mexico's white sandy beaches and the InterCoastal waterways. Although located just a few miles from the urban attractions of Tampa and St. Petersburg, they are a world apart in terms of a slower paced tempo of life, less crime, and of course beautiful beaches with ample public parks and access.
Housing in this area includes multimillion dollar homes along the beach, simply beach cottages, condominium developments, and many number of over-55 senior retirement communities. Since prices have declined 50% and more during the past four years, there are some outstanding buys to be had now. This is an idyllic and quite affordable setting for the retiree who wants warm weather and beaches but does not wish to be totally away from urban life.
