South Tampa Waterfront Condo Choices
November 6th, 2007 categories: Tampa Real Estate, Tampa Condos, Tampa Waterfront Homes, South Tampa Neighborhoods
The south Tampa area is a peninsula that splits Hillsborough Bay to the east, and Old Tampa Bay to the west. Surrounded by water, you’d think that buyers would have many choices when considering a south Tampa waterfront condominium community. And there are many choices if one is simply looking for a highrise condominium with bay views. You’ve got the many choices on Bayshore Boulevard which fronts Hillsborough Bay, with views of downtown and Davis Islands. Bayshore Boulevard residents also have easy access to the sidewalk/recreational trail stretching from Ballast Point northward to downtown.
But none of the Bayshore condominiums offer boating access to the Bay and the Gulf of Mexico beyond. So what choices does the buyer have on the Interbay Peninsula? There are basically 3 choices, all on the west side of the peninsula, on Old Tampa Bay.
Westshore Yacht Club
Starting furthest south, Westshore Yacht Club is a new, private, gated community of single family homes, townhomes and highrise condominiums. Castillo Tower is the highrise, set back from the bayfront, but with exceptional views to the west and east from all units. Prices begin at around $850k for a 3 bedroom, 2100sqft., 4th floor unit. Most of what’s available now are resales with limited developer inventory remaining. Two additional towers are planned. Westshore Yacht Club has its own private 49–slip marina with ship’s store. Slip ownership begins at $170k, while the cost to lease a slip begins at $15/slip ft. Westshore Yacht Club also has club facilities (pool, fitness, spa, lounge) that all residents pay $5800 per year to use.

Culbreath Key Bayside
On the lower end of the price spectrum, and near the middle of the peninsula, is Culbreath Key Bayside Condominiums. Built in 1999 as apartments, Culbreath Key converted to privately owned condominiums in 2004, and has 47 private boat slips available on a small canal that accesses Tampa Bay near the Gandy Bridge. But most CK condos don’t offer any water views. The project has separate buildings, each only 4 floors up. The 2 buildings furthest west, buildings 8 and 9, have the only units that offer any decent water views. The units on the north side of building 9 offer the best water views, and are thus the highest priced within CK. The boat slips are privately owned, some are available for lease. CK condo buyers can search out a condo with a boat slip as a package, or purchase a condo and boat-slip separately. There is currently a 1/1 on the south side (canal/Gandy Blvd-view) of building 9, with a boatslip, priced at $275k, all inclusive. By contrast, there’s a 1/1 on the south side of building 8 priced at $179k, with a boat-slip available for an extra $50k. Culbreath Key is gated, has a pool and fitness center. Buildings 8 and 9 offer covered parking with an elevator.

Mariner Condominium
Mariner Condominiums, a 45 unit building rising 8 floors up, is situated near Kennedy Blvd, just off I-275, near Tampa International Airport. Built in 1973, Mariner Condos has very little turnover with only 5 units transferring ownership in the previous 24 months. There is a waiting list for the small group of boat slips on a small body of water adjacent to I-275. One unit is currently listed for sale, a second floor 2/1 at $469k.
