Treasure Island, Florida is a unique destination whether you are looking for a nostalgic vacation or a permanent home. Treasure Island is, in fact, a small island located off the west coast of Florida proper in the Gulf of Mexico. The island was developed in the 1950s and still retains the charm and appeal of that particular era. Many of the original motels and diners are still in operation today looking much like they did when they first opened.
While primarily a tourist resort town, Treasure Island real estate is available and some eight thousand residents call the island home. Being so close to the larger cities of Saint Petersburg and Tampa, Treasure Island is the perfect place for those looking to relocate somewhere special and different.
With its unique architecture and sentimental appeal, a retro business on Treasure Island could well be the perfect second career of those wishing to work with the public in a hip and open community. Treasure Island real estate is affordable and offers the home or business owner a haven with a low crime rate and the amenities of the big city only a few miles away in Tampa.
Treasure Island also offers a public nine hole, par three golf course and tennis center with full service year round and special camps and events on a regular basis. Restoration projects to restore and preserve the uniqueness of Treasure Island are ongoing and a push is being made to turn the island into a first class tourist destination. Treasure Island is an unrivaled part of Americana and a wonderful place to be a part of something that is quickly disappearing from the American landscape.
