The joys of carefree living

Belleair Beach is just about half a square mile in area, lying between Clearwater and Sand Key Park and Indian Rocks Beach. It has fewer than 2 thousand residents. Most of them are older people-the median age is over 50 years. The median household income is over $ 60 thousand and home values are typically around $ quarter of a million and more. More than half the people have college degrees and most (over 95%) have completed High School. Over 15% are first generation Americans, with 9% being of European birth. Such demographics are not easy to come by, lest you are unimpressed: it is obvious that Belleair Beach is a favorite with white Caucasians looking for a deluxe retired life after successful careers. This stretch of Paradise is brilliant and imaginative in its approach to town and neighborhood management. Rare skill and abiding commitment have gone in to its development. This is exclusive territory and makes no pretense to cater to anyone except the discerning and well-heeled.

Tampa Bay is reasonably close at hand, so Belleair Beach is able to concentrate on simply being a great place to live, without any of the encumbrances of metro convenience. Residents enjoy the sand and the ocean and can nip in and out of a large city environment at will. Belleair Beach is all about quality of life with Parks, beach access and parking reserved for residents. The Municipal Marina is an especially enchanting stretch and Belleair Beach has a boat ramp as well. Tennis is a popular vocation in town with 2 excellent courts. It is tempting for envious outsiders to credit the hypnotic attraction of Belleair Beach entirely to nature. This is patently false, much as Belleair Beach owes to the Gulf of Mexico. This small and delectable town has no more than a fair share of natural wealth. Its genius lies in keeping the long-term raison d'etre firmly in view when taking day-to-day operating decisions. Belleair Beach also enjoys the lowest crime rate in the County: this is not by chance, but thanks to a strict Code Enforcement program.

The Belleair Beach Resort Motel has all the features for a perfect and relaxing holiday. It offers unbroken views of the Gulf of Mexico and is a good spot for fishing, swimming and for water sports. The setting is equally good for those who are too old or lazy for active pastimes, and who prefer to just stroll and take in some memorable sun sets. The Motel has a heated pool and a patio with a sundeck. Guests can enjoy shuffleboard and barbeques. Rooms have fully equipped kitchens and air-conditioning. Condominiums are available at attractive rentals, so some people just choose to spend quality time each year, away from their regular homes, in Belleair Beach .

Waterfront homes in Belleair Beach with boat slips of their own, can set you back by nearly $ 2 million, but are great value even at such investment levels. Long-term rentals are around $ 3 thousand a month for homes with the best facilities for the entire family. There are no commercial properties in town and the quality of life offered here is truly difficult to match. Demand for homes in Belleair Beach will continue to climb as other resorts on the coast cannot compete with this neighborhood and its carefully planned and protected environment. Zoning is strictly enforced so you should get hold a piece of Belleair Beach as soon as you can afford it!
