Skypoint Condos For Sale-Tampa, Fl

Skypoint Condos is the first high rise luxury residential building in Downtown Tampa. At one time, they were completely sold out. I remember the lines around the sales center when they were first offered for sale about 3 years ago. If you were looking to buy one of these hot properties you were considered lucky to get selected through their lottery system.

Now is your chance to take advantage of buyer's who backed out. The developer has reduced prices on the remaining units AND there are short sale, resale units priced very agressively. If you've been waiting for a great deal on a condo, this is it!

Tampa's Skypoint Condo Development is running a wonderful promotion for developer units that are still available.

For Sale

One Bedroom/One Bath/One Parking Space starting in the 150's

Two Bedrooms/Two Bathrooms/Two Parking Spaces

Sky Point Penthouses/Two Bedrooms/Two Bathrooms/Two Parking Spaces

call for pricing.

Skypoint has every amenity you can ask for in a luxury living atmosphere. Throw away your gym membership because you won't need one at Skypoint. There's a Cardio Room, Weight Room, and plenty of weight machines, all looking over the fabulous downtown skyline and University of Tampa.

The gym is just the start. There's a game room with a pool table, video games, and hi definition tv's for watching your favorite sporting events. Outdoor decks with grilling areas, and of course a fabulous pool and spa. If you are looking for a social environment this is it!

Westshore Yacht Club GREAT news for buyers in Tampa

In August 2008, a U.S. bankruptcy judge approved a relief package for WCI Communities that's designed to assure homebuyers would not be impacted for future purchasers at the Westshore Yacht Club here in Tampa Bay. This is great news for one of the premiere boating communities on the West Coast of Florida.

Since August, West Shore Yacht Club has started a fast and furious sales promotion that has people taking action. This is a very positive sign for the Tampa Housing Market; especially for those who are looking to invest their money now while prices are aggressive.

From Collages

Unlike some other developments here in Tampa, The Westshore Yacht Club IS selling their townhomes, hi-rise condo tower, and accepting contracts for the single family homes yet to be built.

More good news.....They are not turning into rentals. Many other developments have caused the people who purchased in the beginning to live amongst mainly renters; which is not what buyer's signed up for originally.

When you take a tour of the community you'll notice that the people who are living there are enjoying life and taking advantage of the wonderful amenities this luxurious, resort style community has to offer. There are so many things to do, you may just decide to stay home and relax on the weekends.

I love the tranquil Spa! The fitness center is state of the art with views of the water. They offer complimentary towels, a very nice locker room with showers, blow dryers, and toiletries. It's really everything you'd expect a high-end club to be. There are also 2 heated pools, 2 restaurants, 2 bars, a billiards room and a yacht shop for supplies.

If you've been looking to purchase in South Tampa, you'll know a single family home is nearly impossible to find under 400K. Other options are townhomes and condos. If you need a 3/2 and 2 car garage, approximately 1900 square feet of living space, you may want to consider one of the townhouses or condos for sale at the Yacht Club. They are solid block construction on all floors, built to current hurricane standards, and have many upgrades like granite, stainless steel appliances and high ceilings. Best of all, these properties are brand new and never lived in. Another nice feature of the community is that there is plenty of parking for guests. Something you don't find in S. Tampa Townhome communities.

This year there have been approximately 35 units sold by the developer due to their very aggressive pricing and incentives. These Townhomes were once selling for 450-650K two years ago. The same units are now listed from 325K with additional incentives up to 6% of the purchase price.

These are the BEST prices we've seen in a Tampa Bay waterfront community.

The Westshore Yacht Club has become a lifestyle choice for many buyers...... "where you live is as important as how you live". Isn't that the truth?

Here are my favorite restaurants in the Tampa Bay Area: You'll have to google them to get the contact info. Menus are online as well.

It's Stone Crab Season. The BEST place is Frenchy's Rockaway Grill on Clearwater Beach. You can't come here without trying the Stone Crab! I like it served cold, however you can have them hot as well. It's located about a half hour drive from the Stadium, directly on our white sandy beaches with beautiful sunsets. Also try the She Crab Soup. Trust me on this one! Share a bowl, it's less expensive and everyone will want some! They also have great grouper sandwiches which are fresh off the boat!

The BEST Steak in Tampa is Bern's Steak House on Howard Ave. (15 min. from Stadium) Everything is great there; the atmosphere, service is five star. They even organically grow their own fruits, vegetables and age their own meats. They have they largest private wine collection in the country. Please note they will ad a 12% service charge, as many people don't notice it on the bill after a few glasses of wine. You also have to visit their dessert room upstairs. Get the Macadamia Nut Ice Cream with Dark Chocolate Sauce from France. Trust me, no one has ever said they don't love it!!

The BEST KING CRAB is at Salt Rock Grill on Redington Beach (45 min from Stadium) They split the crab in half and grill it on a wood fire! All you have to do it take your fork, scoop it out and drench in the warm butter! Everything is wonderful there, so if you don't want King Crab Legs, there are many other menu options. Located on the water, seating is inside or outside.
Where to visit while you are here:

Of course, Busch Gardens in Tampa is always popular for people who like roller coaster rides combined with an animal themed amusement park.
Downtown St. Pete has a large variety of art shops, galleries and museums. Visit the bar at the Vinnoy Hotel for a drink or appetizer on the front porch! The Vinnoy Hotel is one of the nicest hotels in the area. If you want a Historic Hotel with a great setting this is one of the best. There's also a large park and the famous St. Pete Pier overlooking Tampa Bay.

The famous Columbia Restaurant at the Pier is a Tampa Bay favorite(if you go, try the 1905 salad) which is also the year the Original Restaurant in Ybor City was established.

BEST BEACH- Clearwater Beach is one of the nicest beaches on the West Coast of Florida. The sand is pure white and very soft. You can go parasailing, deep sea fishing, take a dinner cruise on Yacht Starship, or just go to a laid back beach bar and relax. Check out the NEW Sand Pearl Hotel. There's a nice outside bar, and very upscale restaurant as well.

If you do plan on looking a homes for sale while you are here, stay an extra day or two! You'll be pleasantly surprised at the prices and inventory. We are #2 in the Country for foreclosures! You may decide to take advantage of our great deals and purchase a vacation home.
