One are to take a peek at is the different condos in the Tierra Verde area.
That area is only ten minutes from the interstate (max), 5 minutes from Ft. DeSoto, and ten minutes from St. Pete beach/Don CeSar area. In terms of a kiting location as well as safe and nice, that seems good. I have zero idea about the schools, etc, just the narrow minded kiting view.

I have noticed lots of them up for sale for several months. Prices in that area should vary quite a bit, from the 300's on up to the millions, depending. It's a nice area.
