Dunedin Florida Real Estate
Dunedin (pronounced DONE-EE-DIN or some folks say "done
eatin'") is a great place to live. It is one of the older cities
on the western part of Florida and its downtown has been
transformed into a haven of little shops and great restaurants
and nightlife. Walking magazine recently named Dunedin one of
the five most walk able downtown areas in America. Dunedin is a
very desirable city to buy real estate in.
You can enjoy the waterfront view from your front porch along
the beautiful Bayshore Boulevard overlooking the Gulf of Mexico
or from a condo along the Dunedin Causeway. Some of the more
exclusive homes are found in Dunedin Isles or Baywood Shores,
running close to $2.5 million. Breathtaking waterfront condos
can be found in Harbor View Villas or Victoria Shores just to
name a few, priced around $1.5 million. There are many different
types of subdivisions in Dunedin that will suit a variety of
lifestyles on or off the beach. Any Dunedin neighborhood is only
a short bike, walk or drive from the beach. The Dunedin Marina
and park is at the west end of downtown and a great place to
enjoy a beautiful sunset.
We enjoy spending the day at Caladesi and Honeymoon Island
parks, where we enjoy swimming, fishing, picnicking, canoeing
and walking the nature trails. You can only get to Caladesi
Island by boat or on foot so you can enjoy the unspoiled beauty
of the island without the sound of car motors and horns.
We also enjoy biking, rollerblading and walking along Dunedin's
4.2 miles of the Pinellas Trail, which is a 15 foot wide trail
running through the St. Petersburg, Clearwater and Tarpon
Springs areas. This trail is widely used and is a wonderful way
to get to Downtown to meander through the many shops or grab a
bite to eat.
We also enjoy the many events that Dunedin has to offer. We
enjoy the Scottish Highland games, watching the many throwing
competitions, learning about Scottish and Celtic culture and
enjoying the Highland Dancing. Although far away from New
Orleans, Dunedin offers a Mardi-Gras festival and parade which
we also enjoy each year. This festival has brought in over
25,000 people and is one of the most popular events that we look
forward to. During the spring months, we enjoy Friday Night
Films in the park, where we can bring a picnic and enjoy classic
movies. Dunedin is also the winter home to the Toronto Blue Jays
where we may take a day off work to spend the day watching one
of America's favorite pastimes. If you enjoy water sports or the
outdoors, Dunedin property is for you. And Dunedin is centrally
located to Tampa, St. Petersburg and Clearwater and is only 90
minutes away from Disney World and Sea World which are in
Orlando, Florida. Dunedin is a great place to call home or buy
real estate with all it has to offer.
