Harbor Isle
Surrounded by fishing and hiking opportunities and a 3,000-acre preserve
Surrounded by deep salt-water canals and bayous, Harbor Isle offers boating, fishing and hiking opportunities. Rivera Bay, which feeds into Bayou Grande and Tampa Bay, is frequented by kayakers, powerboat owners and deep-sea anglers. St. Pete’s Blueway Trail System provides boaters a path through mangrove-forested preserves. Northeast Park is 2 miles south of Harbor Isle and has a playground, batting cages and three baseball fields. The park’s most prominent features are two golf courses. City-owned Mangrove Bay is a public 18-hole course spread across 180 acres. Cypress Links Golf Course, also owned by the city, is a public 9-hole course with a pro shop and driving range. Riviera Bay Park is 5 miles from the community and has hiking trails, basketball and tennis courts, a community garden and picnic shelters. The 3,000-acre Weedon Island Preserve is 7 miles east. Along the western shore of Tampa Bay, the preserve has nearly 5 miles of trails, a fishing pier and a 45-foot observation tower that provides views of the bay and preserve. The 4-mile South Paddling Trail meanders through tunnels within the preserve and has access points along the bay. There’s also an Osprey Viewing Area, a small overlook to spot nestling ospreys in trees. The Cultural and Natural History Center sits deep inside the preserve and has interpretive hikes, workshops, exhibits and various programs about the island’s past.Traditional and custom-built waterfront homes
The horseshoe-shaped community of over 200 homes has a lake in the middle. Its quiet, tree-lined streets are filled with traditional Craftsman-style homes, ranch-style homes and custom-built estates. Most houses were built in the late 1970s. Before development, the land was connected to Weedon Island by a bridge. Prices range from the low-$600,000s for a three-bedroom over 2,000 square feet to over $2 million for a 3,000-square-foot, four-bedroom waterfront property. “The prices are way more affordable than similar houses on the Gulf,” says Hartley. The neighborhood’s irregular shape is intentional, ensuring nearly 90 percent of the houses have waterfront access. Lot sizes are spacious; almost all span up to a quarter-acre with backyards that lead to private boat docks. Most homes have multi-car garages, in-ground pools and spacious driveways for boats or recreational vehicles.Vibrant shopping and dining district 5 miles away
While Harbor Isle is primarily residential, the vibrant 4th Street Corridor is 5 miles away – either by car or venturing across the bay. “People who live on the water have great boating access to Downtown St. Pete,” says Clay Glover, Founder of Glover Real Estate Group, who’s been selling homes in the area for over a decade. “It’s 10 minutes by water, so a lot of people just lower their boats and go have dinner. You can’t really do that in a lot of other places.” Publix, Walgreens and Trader Joe’s are located along this commercial strip, along with a diverse selection of restaurants, shops and bars. El Cap Restaurant is popular for burgers, chili dogs and shoestring fries. Red Mesa Restaurant serves modern Mexican fare and is known for its seafood enchiladas and sangria. McArthur’s Irish Pub is a local nighttime favorite. CALI offers a healthy California-inspired menu in an airy dining room, including Ahi Tuna bowls and sourdough pizzas. Downtown St. Petersburg is 6 miles south for more entertainment and shopping options.Home to the top school district in Tampa
Pinellas County School District serves the neighborhood and is ranked the top district in the Tampa-St. Petersburg area, according to Niche. Students can attend Shore Acres Elementary, Meadowlawn Middle and Northeast High School. Shore Acres, which offers after-school programs, earns a B-plus on Niche, and Meadowlawn Middle scores a C-plus. Earning a B-plus, Northeast High is ranked the ninth-best high school in the county and offers football and soccer teams, as well as a psychology club.A tight-knit homeowners association
Harbor Isle Homeowners Association, established in 1979, organizes a variety of events for residents, including outdoor movie nights, garage sales, picnics and dinners out at local restaurants.Six miles from downtown St. Pete
Interstate 275 is 4 miles west of the community, connecting to the Howard Frankland Bridge and providing access to the rest of the area. Downtown St. Petersburg is 6 miles south, St. Pete-Clearwater International Airport is 10 miles away, and Tampa is a 19-mile drive. Harbor Isle residents will need a car, as no public transit serves the area. St. Anthony’s Hospital is the nearest medical facility, 7 miles southwest. While residents are near highways, they don’t have to worry about traffic or noise from the city. “There are really only two ways in and two ways out, since it’s tucked away,” Glover says. “Everyone feels safe and secure back in here.”
