Tierra Verde Florida Homes

This narrow Central Florida island on the southernmost tip of Pinellas County has an easterly aspect that overlooks the tranquil waters of Boca Ciega Bay’s entry to Tampa Bay, and a westerly perspective of white sand beaches fronting the Gulf of Mexico. Tierra Verde has an average of 361 days of sunshine each year and a near perfect sub-tropical climate.

It’s perfect, say the 4000 permanent residents of this recreational pleasure ground. And they are well-placed to know. With median house prices here at over $500,000, and with residents enjoying very high disposable incomes, the Tierra Verdeans could choose to live anywhere. But they have chosen this special Gulf island in the sun.

An island that is only a five-minute drive from Fort DeSoto Park, the 1200-acre nature lover’s paradise that is home to the number one-rated beach in the United States. Or, in less than a fifteen minutes you can drive to all the services and infrastructure of St. Petersburg, one of Florida’s major cities. Ten minutes takes you to either the Palms of Pasadena or St. Anthony’s Hospitals, just over the causeway.

When the grandchildren visit, many residents hop on over to visit Mickey and all the gang at Walt Disney World in Orlando. It is less than a two-hour drive away. If you have to travel, if you have to leave your island home, the St Pete / Clearwater International Airport is a short 16-mile drive.

But you never have to leave Tierra Verde to experience fine dining or great shopping. The island is full of gourmet restaurants, boutiques and specialty shops that cater to refined tastes.

There are actually six neighborhoods on Tierra Verde: Monte Christo, Bayview, Oceanview, Entrada, Pinellas Bayway and Sands Point. All have their own unique charm. Some overlook the marinas and Boca Ciega Bay. Some are on the Gulf side, where you have a front row seat for the nightly performance of a setting sun, transforming blue sky and turquoise waters into a roiling gold and fiery crimson finale to the day. It’s a sight that takes your breath away every time you see it. And with an average of 361 days of sunshine per year, it’s a regular event. Other neighborhoods are reclaimed “fingers” on the eastern shores that give everybody boat access frontage and a private jetty.

For the families in Tierra Verde with school age children, the Pinellas County School District is among the largest in the state of Florida, and one of the largest employers in the region. With 150,000 pupils enrolled in various institutions throughout the County---including “exceptional” schools and adult schools---all based on a program of free choice selection, there is a school to suit every educational need. And after completing high school, students from Tierra Verde can attend one of the many fine colleges and universities in the area. Tampa has two excellent Universities—the University of Tampa and the 27,000 student University of Southern Florida. Both have excellent graduate programs.

Buying a home is a big decision. A potentially stressful exercise. But the more prepared you are, the earlier you cover all the bases, the better the whole process will be for you.

Those who make lists, ask questions, seek information and make sure they are in front of the curve seem to handle or eliminate problems the best.

What did the Chinese philosopher Sun Tzu say?

“Whoever is first in the field and awaits the coming of the enemy, will be fresh for the fight: whoever is second in the field and has to hasten to battle will arrive exhausted”

It’s true. You will have less stress, less chaos and the whole process will go a lot better when you anticipate problems rather than react to them.
