About this home
8471 SANDY BEACH STREET
Virtually Staged. If you've been searching for a gated townhome in Tampa under $300,000 with low-maintenance living and real community amenities, your search ends at 8471 Sandy Beach Street in Solana Bay. This 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath Pulte-built townhome in the 33634 zip code sits in a beautifully landscaped, gated community off Waters Avenue — tucked away yet connected to everything Tampa Bay provides. The numbers make sense: at $184/sq ft with major capital improvements already completed — new roof (2024), A/C (2018), and water heater (2021) — you're buying a home where the expensive surprises have already been handled. The HOA at $495/month covers cable TV, lawn care, exterior maintenance, building insurance and reserves, community pool, and gated entry. Flood Zone X means no flood insurance requirement, keeping your monthly costs predictable. Inside, the open Milan floorplan impresses from the first step: volume ceilings, wood cabinetry, NEW QUARTZ countertops, stainless appliances, and a screened lanai with peaceful natural views. The primary suite upstairs features vaulted ceilings, a walk-in closet, and a dual-sink en-suite. Two additional bedrooms and a full bath share the upper level, along with a convenient laundry closet — washer and dryer included. Community features include a resort-style pool, gated dog park, charcoal BBQ grills, turf field, and access to a stunning 17-acre private lake for kayaking, canoeing, and evening walks. Steps to Target, Walmart, and Planet Fitness. Minutes to Tampa International Airport and I-275 via the Veterans Expressway. This is the low-maintenance, high-lifestyle Tampa townhome you've been waiting for — don't let it be someone else's decision.

Value check
Is the price right?
The internet’s favorite home-value number comes from a single automated model that has never seen the street, the finishes, or the view — which is why it routinely misses by tens of thousands of dollars. The edgeAI estimate combines multiple independent data sources with our team’s on-the-ground expertise in this exact market.
