Discover a refreshing alternative to typical condo living at Lake Forest, where mature landscaping, open green space, recreational trails, and an equestrian setting create a surprisingly peaceful retreat in the middle of Pinellas County. Here, you can enjoy the convenience of a central location without giving up the feeling of being surrounded by nature. This 2-bedroom, 1.5-bath tri-level residence offers multiple levels of living space, an attached one-car garage, and a versatile lower-level bonus room ready to adapt to your needs. Create a private home office, workout room, hobby area, or additional flex space—the choice is yours. The home has received modest updates while still offering an opportunity for a new owner to personalize it over time. One of the most enjoyable features is the screened rear patio, an inviting spot for morning coffee, an evening glass of wine, or simply enjoying the outdoors. The neighboring equestrian setting adds a character you rarely find in condo living, with horses frequently making their way along the nearby trails. If an active outdoor lifestyle is important to you, this location delivers. Walking, jogging, and biking trails are right outside the community, while protected city-owned green space across the street helps maintain the natural surroundings for years to come. Nearby recreational offerings also include pickleball, racquetball, Zumba classes, and additional activities. And don't forget your four-legged family members! Extra-large dogs are welcome in the community, subject to HOA rules and any applicable breed restrictions. A convenient dog park located across the street provides separate areas for large and small dogs to exercise and play. Lake Forest is located in a HIGH & DRY, NON-FLOOD ZONE and features a resort-style community pool and heated spa surrounded by a scenic estuary where you can often spot native wildlife and seasonal visitors. The pool area serves as a wonderful gathering place and is truly one of the highlights of the neighborhood. Families may also appreciate the convenient access to affordable before- and after-school childcare programs and summer programs located nearby. The monthly HOA provides substantial value by including cable, high-speed internet, water, sewer, trash, recycling, roof, exterior building maintenance, and grounds maintenance, simplifying homeownership and giving you more time to enjoy everything the area has to offer. From this central location, commuting to St. Petersburg, Tampa, area airports, shopping, restaurants, entertainment, and the Gulf beaches is convenient, while home still feels tucked away from the everyday hustle. Garage, flex space, pet-friendly living, outdoor recreation, beautiful natural surroundings, community amenities, and a non-flood-zone location—Lake Forest offers a lifestyle that is truly different from the ordinary condo community.
