In north St. Petersburg,Florida  there’s a neighborhood quite unlike any other you’ll find in the greater Tampa/St. Petersburg area. Harbor Isle, bounded by 72nd Avenue Northeast to the south, 14th Street Northeast and 75th Circle Northeast to the west, 18th Street Northeast to the east and Bayou Grande to the north, is a quiet waterfront community with its own interior lake and easy boating access to Tampa Bay.

First platted in the 1970’s, Harbor Isle contains 218 single-family homes constructed primarily by well-known builders Rutenberg, Sibley and Bruce/Williams, and offers great value in today’s real estate market. Whether you’re a first-time homebuyer, or are a boater dreaming of uncomplicated access to Tampa Bay sunsets, Harbor Isle is well worth your consideration.

Views of Tampa Bay & Weedon Island State Preserve

And talk about protected views, just to the north and the east across Bayou Grande is the Weedon Island State Preserve, a pristine 15,000-acre conservation area filled with an abundance of fish and other wildlife that populate the wetlands and estuaries of the region. The Preserve provides miles and miles of kayak and canoe trails, meandering walking/hiking trails, lovely picnic areas, a 45-foot observation tower with commanding views of Tampa Bay, a variety of fishing and a chance to go back in time to a simpler, quieter Tampa Bay era.

Interstate 275 and other major traffic arteries make getting to the lively downtown area of St. Petersburg a snap, while the sugar white sands of Redington Beach, Madeira Beach and Treasure Island are an easy drive to the west.

Downtown Tampa and all the city has to offer, major shopping malls, an assortment of golf courses and Tampa International Airport are merely minutes away.
