Are you searching for a quiet section of Pinellas County, where life moves at a slower pace? Seminole is the perfect place to live! From young couples, families of all sizes and those enjoying their retired years, these residents have discovered the hidden treasure of this area. Seminole is minutes from large cities such as Clearwater, St. Petersburg and Tampa where many people commute for work or to attend large city attractions. But it is also just a mile or two from Redington Beach, Madeira Beach and Indian Rocks Beach. These stunning white sand beaches attract residents and visitors because they are not as congested as many of the big name beaches within town. They still have excellent dining, hotels and scenery that we have all come to enjoy when relaxing by the shore. Seminole residents have ample shopping, dining and convenient storefronts, without the build up many larger cities are experiencing. There is an extraordinary new St. Petersburg College Campus, Seminole City Park, and a new Seminole Recreation Center. This facility offers soccer fields, city events, a preschool, fitness center, swimming pool with adjoining kids area, and a remarkable children's playground. With two climbing units, swings and water misters, these children can stay cool because this entire area is shaded. It's a parents dream come true! There are many stunning neighborhoods in Seminole. From Thurston Groves, Windtree Oaks, Tara Estates and more, these dynamic subdivisions will attract even the most discriminating tastes. They feature impeccable landscaping, large floor plans, attractive swimming pools and upgraded kitchen and baths. There are many smaller homes in Seminole too, and you will find no matter which neighborhood you choose, one feature remains the same: friendly neighbors. This is the city where you truly can know many of your fellow residents. There is a quality about Seminole that makes its homeowners want to remain here and provokes those that have moved away from Seminole to want to return here to raise their families. Many parents of young children move to this area because of the excellent choice of schools Seminole has to offer. Oakhurst Elementary, Bauder Elementary, and Orange Grove Elementary continue to rank as some of the best schools in the county. Seminole Middle and High School continue to score high on FCAT testing and pride themselves on the type of students they produce. In addition, they have very low teacher turnover. For children who enjoy athletic activities, the Seminole Youth Athletic Association (SYAA) is an excellent place to play team sports such as Baseball, Soccer, Football and Cheerleading. If you truly want a peaceful place to live and even raise a family, Seminole should be at the top of your list.
