Living off the Gulf in gated subdivisions
Positioned between a system of public parks along the Gulf of Mexico and a bustling recreation complex, Key Vista supplies residents with many ways to get active or relax in the sunshine in a gated community east of Holiday. Robust HOAs maintain the community’s aesthetics and amenities, ensuring residents live in picture-perfect subdivisions of single-family homes painted in complementary colors. With shopping essentials a brief drive down Highway 19 and Pasco County Schools serving the area, residents of Key Vista have no trouble accessing nearby community hubs and the greater urban amenities of Tampa.
Gated communities within Key Vista
Key Vista consists of the Single Family community and Villas 55+ community which are regulated by individual HOAs as well as a Master HOA. Homes in Key Vista were built in the early 2000s along quiet, palm tree and sidewalk-lined cul-de-sacs and contain Spanish revival and craftsman architectural details like warm, stucco exteriors and street-facing two-car garages over broad driveways. Homes in the 55+ community with less than 2,000 square feet of living space sell for $280,000 to $440,000, while Single Family HOA homes with upward of four bedrooms sell for $370,000 to $600,000. Monthly fees vary in price based on which HOA(s) each home is covered by.
“People in Key Vista get wonderful community amenities and properties which are not in a flood zone which is huge for people who don’t want to pay for flood insurance,” says Renee Gialousis, a Realtor at Coldwell Banker with 23 years of experience in the area. The Main Clubhouse includes community amenities like a swimming pool, fitness center, playground and tennis courts. Villas residents have access to the broader community’s amenities as well as their own private clubhouse, pool and spa. Access to Key Vista and its internal amenities are controlled by key fob.
Gulfside parks and recreation center
Recreation on the Gulf is less than a mile from Key Vista in a system of parks sandwiched between Key Vista’s subdivisions and the thickets of forests lining the beach. Key Vista Nature Park runs walking and biking trails through wooded areas and along the gulf, heading south to the popular fishing pier and playground at Anclote Gulf Park. “Many residents own boats and keep them in their garage or lock them up at a community building for a fee,” Gialousis says. Boaters can tow their watercraft 3 miles south to Anclote River Park's boat launch or post up on the beach and watch pelicans fly by.
The J. Ben Harrill Recreation Complex forms much of Key Vista’s eastern border, its indoor and outdoor athletics fields catering to league tournaments and pick-up games of baseball, soccer, basketball and more. Families also make use of the shaded playground and picnic benches.
Community events in The Pelican
The Pelican, Key Vista’s community newsletter, keeps residents abreast of upcoming events in issues released every other month. Athletics classes like tennis and yoga are held at regular times each week, and Food Truck Friday brings rotating food trucks into Key Vista every few weeks. Residents can volunteer for positions within their HOAs from welcoming committees to budget and paint committees.
Essentials on Highway 19 and riverside dining
Highway 19 runs through Holiday, providing Key Vista residents with shopping and dining options within 3 miles of home. Winn-Dixie, Aldi and Publix are a few of the closest grocery options. Miss Vicki’s On The River is a popular open-air bar and restaurant on the Anclote River just south of Key Vista where locals enjoy casual seafood fare, cold beers and views of the Anclote Village Marina.
Pasco County School District
Kids in Key Vista attend Gulf Trace Elementary School which earns a C-plus on Niche, followed by Paul R. Smith Middle School which also earns a C-plus and Anclote High School which earns a B-minus. Students at Anclote High School can opt into the AVID Elective, a program encouraging college readiness through rigorous course loads and weekly Tutorial sessions in which tutors provide academic support.
Driving down Highway 19
Residents of Key Vista depend on personal vehicles to get to nearby commercial hubs and more distant commuter destinations. Highway 19 to the east of Key Vista is the main coastal connector, running from towns further north into southern destinations like Clearwater and St. Petersburg. Tampa’s urban amenities like the Tampa International Airport are about 35 miles southeast of Key Vista.
