Most housing sits east of Gulf Boulevard on dredged land
While beach access and dining options are concentrated along the Gulf Boulevard corridor, a large portion of the city’s housing is found on the “fingers” of land carved out by dredging the Narrows, the name for the water on the east side of Indian Rocks Beach. There is a mix of colorful homes that includes the typical Florida ranchers as well as larger homes evoking a variety of architectural styles. Condo prices start at about $260,000 and go up as high as $2.3 million. Higher-priced units typically feature more space and beach access. Detached single-family homes range from the low $300,000s for small one-bedroom cottages to several million dollars for waterfront homes with up to five bedrooms and private beach access. The average home value here hovers around $1 million, and the median sale price is about $840,000. Buyers should expect to pay an average of about $640 per square foot, though that number goes up the closer a home is to the beach.
