Monterey At Lake Seminole

It's a gated community in a convenient part of Pinellas County, close to Seminole's shopping and the Gulf beaches while keeping commutes to Tampa around 33 minutes. Families appreciate the assigned schools — Seminole Elementary, Osceola Middle, and the Career Academies of Seminole. The gated setup and quiet streets appeal to buyers who want privacy without giving up central access.

It sits in a mid-market range for the area, with a median list price of $412,000 and active homes running from $350,000 to $429,000. At about $204 per square foot, pricing is reasonable for a gated community this close to the coast. Nearby options like Tara Cay can give you a sense of how the neighborhood compares.

Current listings range from $350,000 to $429,000 with a median of $412,000, on homes that average around 1,960 square feet. Over the past year, six homes sold at a median price of $342,500, so buyers have some room to negotiate. Sellers have been getting about 94% of their asking price on average.

This is a small, slow-moving market with just four active listings and six sales in the last twelve months. Homes take a median of 60 days to sell, and sellers net roughly 94% of asking — signs of a balanced, unhurried market. With limited inventory, serious buyers should be ready to move when the right home comes up.

The median HOA here runs about $700 per month, which is on the higher side and typically reflects gated-community amenities and maintenance. Property taxes come in around $3,333 per year at current values. Factor both into your monthly budget alongside the mortgage when comparing homes.
