Local Insight
At $463/sqft for new construction in Apollo Beach, you're paying a fair premium for waterfront access and the pool, but the AE flood zone designation is a real consideration—factor in mandatory flood insurance costs and elevation requirements before committing. The $265 monthly HOA in a brand-new subdivision typically covers amenities and common area maintenance, so verify what's included and whether those fees are likely to climb as the development matures. With five bedrooms in under 2,700 square feet on a modest 0.24-acre lot, this is a compact layout that prioritizes the water views over space—ideal if you're buying for location and willing to live cozily.
