The suburban neighborhood of Beacon Groves, between Belcher Road and one of Palm Harbor’s busiest throughways, offers both competitive housing prices and proximity to shopping outlets and amenities. “It’s considered one of the more affordable areas in Palm Harbor,” says Brian Walsh, a Realtor with SkyCoast Realty. “People really get a bang for their buck.” Families pushing strollers or taking the dog for a walk is not an uncommon sight. Beacon Groves is in one of the most sought-after school districts in Tampa, which Walsh says is a big draw for clients.

It doesn’t have to go through the county. We can take action faster.” The waterfront Pop Stansell Park has picnic tables and gazebos. The park’s dock is a popular spot for anglers to cast a line. Those looking to get out on the water can rent kayaks and paddleboards. Pop Stansell Park is within walking distance of the Pinellas Trail.
