We specialize in the Tierra Verde island market, with over 280 million sold in Tierra Verde. We love to introduce our buyers to this one-of-a-kind island life. Tierra Verde was named for its green land. Tierra Verde was once 15 islands covered with mangroves, pines and bush. These islands ranged in size from only a few acres to the largest, Cabbage Key, having over 289 acres. The 15 original islands are now the present six areas of Tierra Verde: Monte Cristo, Entrada, Pinellas Bayway, Sands Point, East Shore (Bayview) and West Shore (Oceanview). Purchased in 1959 with aspirations for developing a resort community, progress was almost non-existent until the Pinellas Bayway was opened in 1962 and the islands and St. Pete Beach were connected at a southern point to the mainland. Today, Tierra Verde has almost 2,000 housing units that supports both full-time and winter residents. As a sign of it affluence, Oceanview Drive on Tierra Verde is considered one of the top 5 most expensive streets in the Tampa Bay area.
