East Bay Country Club offers condos with beautiful views
East Bay Country Club is a neighborhood made up mostly of low- and mid-rise condominiums surrounded by the rolling green of a public 18-hole championship golf course. Despite the location, many residents here don’t play golf, says Steve Iles, a real estate broker at Iles Realtors. He’s been selling condos here for 24 years and has sold homes in the greater Largo area for 35 years. Instead, Iles says, people are drawn by the open space and beautiful views, especially when it comes to the two most popular condo buildings, Country Club and Golf Lake. “In fact, probably three-quarters of the condos of Country Club have beautiful views of the golf course — wide open green space, lakes, palm trees, pine trees and those serene views, southern skies,” Iles says, adding that west-facing condos have the best views. “Fabulous sunsets hundreds of times a year and a view that looks over the lakes and the fairways and then the setting sun over a nature preserve. So that’s a forever view, really. … They get basically million-dollar views for half of that price.”

A wide range of condominiums
Many of East Bay Country Club’s condos were built over a couple of decades — the oldest is over 20 years old, but the youngest is only three. “As each building has finished and sold, the next one has gotten the latest materials; they’ve kept up with the times,” Iles says, adding that this means people “can buy something that’s 20 years old and original, in great condition, or they can get something that’s three years old and state-of-the-art.” Iles says Country Club and Golf Lake are among the area’s most sought-after condos because of their locations and the quality with which they were built, the latter of which has spared them from the costs that many condos are incurring because of updated safety regulations. Iles, who was a civil and structural engineer before becoming a Realtor, attributes these qualities to developer Melinda Hall. “She dealt with every element involved — the city, the county and state for design approvals and permitting, with the contractors, the subcontractors, the buyers and residents, the HOAs. You name it, she did it, and she did a fabulous job for a thousand-plus condos in central and west Pinellas from the 90s until now,” he says, adding that she didn’t have a big corporation to back her — she just made it happen. Condos in these two communities typically cost between $280,000 and $650,000. Each building has its own homeowners association and there’s a master HOA for the entire community, but Iles says fees range between $500 and $600 a month. Fees go toward building maintenance, shared amenities like the heated pool and services like trash, parking, WiFi and cable TV. East Bay Country Club’s other condos typically cost less than those in the Country Club and Golf Lake communities, ranging from about $100,000 to nearly $400,000. There are also a handful of single-family houses without views of the golf course at the neighborhood’s northern edge. There are not many of these homes, so they don't come up for sale very often. In recent years, only a few have sold at prices ranging from $665,000 to $815,000.

Living outside of Florida’s flood zones, average CAP Index
Hurricane season is a big part of life throughout Florida. East Bay Country Club’s condos sit on elevated land. Although high winds remain a concern, the Federal Emergency Management Agency doesn’t place the neighborhood in flood zones, and Iles says most of the area isn’t in an evacuation zone. “In fact, a lot of people that reside in that area on the boundaries or inside East Bay Golf Course, they have friends and family that come stay with them during storm warnings and hurricanes, people particularly from the beaches. They only have to come 3 or 4 miles, and they have a place that’s pretty much high and dry,” he says.

Condominium amenities, golfing and a popular nature preserve
Many of East Bay Country Club’s condominiums have their own amenities, including clubhouses and heated pools. The East Bay Golf Course is open to everyone, making it a big draw for golfers. At the neighborhood’s edge, the 31-acre Largo Central Park Nature Preserve offers hiking trails that lead to a lookout tower, a butterfly garden and a lake with a kayak launch. A day trip to the waterfront is also easy, as it’s just 5 miles to Belleair Beach.

Clubhouse events and fireworks shows
Each condominium hosts events in its clubhouse, though how often depends upon the community; some have weekly events, but others have more infrequent get-togethers. Iles says most of these events are open to the residents of nearby condominiums, and there’s a little friendly competition about which building is best. There’s also an annual Fourth of July fireworks show in Largo Central Park, which some residents don’t have to leave home to see. “More than fifty percent of the condos in Country Club have this west-facing view where they see fabulous firework displays from their balconies stretching from St. Pete Beach to Clearwater Beach,” he says.
Short drives to restaurants and Largo Plaza
East Bay Country Club is mostly residential, but there are a few popular restaurants along its northern edge. Suzi’s Restaurant is the go-to breakfast spot and Thai Bay & Sushi Restaurant is a favorite for its panang curry. For groceries, there’s a Winn-Dixie about a mile away and a Publix about 2 miles away. Largo Plaza offers even more grocery stores, a large selection of big-box stores and restaurants as well as a movie theater less than 4 miles away.
