-------------------
About a Block from the Sea and a Mile from an Oceanfront Beach, Established Port Belleair is a 55+ Condo Community with Water Views
Across the water from Tampa on Florida's Gulf Coast and about a mile from gorgeous white sand beaches, 55+ Port Belleair was built in the late 1960s and early 1970s. The community consists of clustered, low- and mid-rise condominium buildings.
Most units have one to two bedrooms and about 1,300 square feet of living space. Depending on location, homes have water views, lush landscaping or the parking area.
Walk-in closets, an enclosed balcony, and an eat-in kitchen are a few design features. Upgrades include Corian counters, solid wood cabinets, stainless steel appliances, hurricane-rated windows, and electric blinds. A carport or assigned parking beneath the building is standard.
Prices begin in the high-$200,0000s to low-$300,000s. The monthly HOA is in the $300s to $400s and covers water, sewer, basic cable, and some exterior maintenance.
Laundry facilities and the community clubhouse are close at hand. The clubhouse has a full kitchen, pool tables, TVs, and room for meetings or coffee klatches. The large outdoor pool is heated and adjoined by a BBQ area.
Belleair Bluffs is just south of Clearwater. The Clearwater Causeway is within easy reach, and the Clearwater Marine Aquarium and Caladesi Island State Park are a short drive away.
Belleair Bluffs does not have a hospital, but Morton Plant Hospital is next door in Clearwater.
Summer temperatures are in the 80s and 90s, and winter temperatures are in the 50s, 60s and 70s. On average, the area receives 49 inches of rain each year.

Florida:
The world's 11th largest peninsula doesn't just have an east coast and a west coast. It has a First Coast, Surf Coast, Space Coast, Treasure Coast, Gold Coast, Paradise Coast, Lee Island Coast, Cultural Coast, Nature Coast, Big Bend Coast, Emerald Coast, and a Forgotten Coast.
Each of these geographic regions is packed with its own history and attractions. The first place to be colonized by Europeans, the First Coast is rich with tidal marshes. It's the home of Amelia Island and St. Augustine. The venerable Castillo de San Marcos sits here and guards the Matanzas Bay.
Daytona Beach and the Halifax River are the heart of the Surf Coast. Automobile racing helped it develop its reputation. The area code is 386 (FUN). South of the fun is the Space Coast. Cocoa Beach, Cape Canaveral, and the Kennedy Space Center are a part of its culture.
Named after the Spanish fleet lost in a 1715 hurricane, the Treasure Coast's principle city is Port St. Lucie. It is a northern neighbor to Miami and the Gold Coast. The affluent Naples and major land reserves characterize the Paradise Coast. The Ringling Estate and Sarasota make the Cultural Coast come alive. Twenty miles of beaches along the Gulf Coast distinguish the Suncoast from the forests and blackwater rivers of the Nature Coast.
Travel up to Florida's Big Bend along its emerald waters. Find the Forgotten Coast. With no major cities, it may be the best place to enjoy the state's white-sand beaches.
Why are HOA Fees So High in 55+ Communities?
HOA fees (homeowner association fees) come in a wide range, and each 55+ community has a different set of guidelines for determining its HOA fees. Generally, the more amenities, the higher the fee. And often older communities have higher fees because as a development ages, maintenance costs increase. Most communities have bylaws stating how high HOA fees can be raised each year. When looking for a 55+ community, always ask about the fees. How much are they? What do they cover? How many increases have there been in the last 10 years? If the developer or sales staff will not tell you, visit on a Saturday when people are out and about and ask a resident or two about the HOA fees.
