Bay Estates Preserve at Mirabay - Apollo Beach, FL

The exclusive waterfront community of Mirabay is in high demand for many reasons. First and foremost, there's location; this little slice of Apollo Beach, Florida, is like no other. Its share of estate-size waterfront and preserve properties further enhance its appeal as a desirable address. Residents enjoy the best of both worlds – luxurious homes, with a low-key atmosphere of peace and serenity. Like any basket of real estate listings, you'll find a diverse range of price points at Bay Estates Preserve. The community is served by Park Square Homes, a well-respected development company that has a long-standing reputation for quality builds. They were very generous when planning amenities here, dishing out a resort pool, waterslide, kids splash fountain, park, community center, poolside cafe, play ground, and residents club.

Waterset - Apollo Beach, FL

In search of a one-of-a-kind place to call home? Waterset may be exactly what you've been looking for. Located about 16 miles south of Tampa, it's one of many projects currently under development by Newland in the greater metropolitan area. But that isn't to say that this place is just another cookie-cutter neighborhood; Waterset offers a slew of amenities that go beyond the average subdivision. Green spaces, parks, and walking trails, yes, but also resort-grade facilities like two fitness centers, three outdoor pools, basketball, pickleball, tennis, and sand volleyball courts, a game room, patio space, and café. Awesome activities aside, one of the best parts about living in this community is that it goes beyond “just a neighborhood”. It's its own little town, of sorts. An open-minded attitude towards life (and living) is embraced here, and it's reflected both in the diverse population of residents as well as the ever-growing number of events taking place in the area.
