Living in Feather Sound
Feather Sound is on the east side of mid-Pinellas County, near the west end of the Howard Frankland Bridge. The community is built around Feather Sound Country Club, a private club with an 18-hole golf course that Joe Lee designed. Feather Sound Drive makes a loop through the community, and the residential developments connect to it. Feather Sound is not a city. Pinellas County is the local government, and residents voted in 1990 to form a Municipal Services Taxing Unit. That tax pays for street lighting and for the maintenance of recreational areas and green space. A volunteer board, the Feather Sound Community Services District, manages these services. St. Pete-Clearwater International Airport is to the west, and Interstate 275 is to the east.
The Feather Sound market
The housing stock has three main types: condominiums, townhomes, and single-family homes. Many homes face the golf course, a pond, or a preserve. Each condominium and townhome community has its own association, so fees, rules, and reserves are different from one community to the next. Before you make an offer on a condominium, ask for the association budget, the reserve study, and the milestone inspection report if one applies. Ask the club if a home purchase includes or requires a membership. The Feather Sound taxing unit adds a line to the property tax bill. Parts of the community are in a FEMA flood zone, so check the flood zone, the elevation, and the insurance cost for an address. See the Clearwater guide, Safety Harbor, and the St. Petersburg guide.
