About this home
77 FEET OF SALTWATER CANAL FRONTAGE — YOUR PRIVATE GATEWAY TO TAMPA BAY | Welcome to a beautiful waterfront retreat where coastal living, comfort, and convenience come together in one of Apollo Beach's most sought-after boating locations. Set on a protected saltwater canal with 77 feet of frontage and easy access out to Tampa Bay, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath home is a rare find for boaters who want peace of mind without sacrificing lifestyle. And with no HOA and no restrictions, you're free to enjoy this waterfront freedom on your own terms.
Inside, a bright, open floor plan welcomes you with natural light, spacious living areas, and effortless indoor-outdoor flow. Tile flooring runs throughout the entire home, creating a cohesive, low-maintenance foundation for the light-filled living and dining spaces, while the well-appointed kitchen opens directly to the main gathering areas—ideal for entertaining or simply enjoying everyday life by the water. This home has been thoughtfully updated over the last six years for lasting peace of mind, including a metal roof, new electrical panels and wiring, hurricane impact windows and sliding doors, and hurricane shutters for added storm protection.
An enclosed lanai extends the living space, offering a comfortable spot to take in the Florida breeze year-round. Outside is where this property truly shines. A beautifully landscaped, private waterfront oasis with lush grass and mature palms sets the scene, while a 2-car attached garage plus a covered carport and a second reinforced pad give boaters and RV owners all the space they need.
The seawall has been rebuilt and raised above standard height, and the dock has been redone with durable, low-maintenance composite wood—giving you a turnkey launch point for a day on Tampa Bay or a front-row seat to spectacular Florida sunsets. Just minutes from shopping, dining, parks, marinas, and major commuter routes, this home offers the best of both worlds: the calm of protected waterfront living with quick, convenient access to everything Apollo Beach has to offer. Move-in ready and backed by major recent updates, this is a rare opportunity to own a true boater's paradise—homes with this combination of canal frontage, storm-hardened updates, and no HOA don't come around often.

What it really costs to own 485 Flamingo Drive
The parts of the monthly number a mortgage calculator leaves out, from this listing's MLS record, the county tax roll, Citizens and FEMA. Property facts only.
| HOA dues | The listing states there is no HOA. |
|---|---|
| Home and flood insurance | The average Citizens Property Insurance premium in Hillsborough County is $1,816/yr (6,518 policies, Citizens detail by county, April 2026); private-market quotes differ by roof age, wind mitigation and distance to the coast. The page's modeled range for this home is $3,000–$6,500/yr; neither is a quote. Flood: this address maps to FEMA zone AE, a high-risk zone where flood insurance is required with a federally backed mortgage. Statewide, a zone A/AE/VE flood policy runs about $1,200–$2,500/yr (FEMA Risk Rating 2.0 averages, not a quote). |
| Roof and age | Built in 1966. An original roof would be about 60 years old; under Florida's 2022 reform (SB 2-D) carriers may require an inspection past 15 years, so budget for a roof report and ask for the roof permit date. |
Flood zone & elevation
Sourced environmental data for the parcel. Confirm with FEMA and your insurer.
From the FEMA flood map. Lender-required flood insurance may apply; confirm for the parcel.
Approximate parcel elevation from USGS; confirm exact elevation with a survey.
Hillsborough County is on the Florida coast; wind coverage is a major part of the premium. Premiums and coverage vary by home (roof age, wind mitigation, claims history); obtain a quote from a licensed insurer.

Price & listing history
Building permits
Comparable recent sales
6 closed sales within about 3 miles in the last 18 months — same property type, living area within 30% of this home. Sold prices are MLS closed-sale records, deemed reliable but not guaranteed.
Median of these 6 sales: $649,500 ($348/sq ft). Stronger local evidence. Shown for general reference only — not an appraisal or a statement of this home’s value.
The Messtimate
Our automated estimate of the likely sale-price range for this home — modeled from recent closed sales nearby adjusted to today's market, a local size-and-age model, and the county tax roll. It is an estimate, not an appraisal, not market value, and not an offer. A licensed agent's CMA sees the condition, the lot, and the live market that a model can't.
Directional estimate — built from 20 comparable closed sales within about 3 miles (same property type, closed within the last 18 months, each adjusted to today's market).
Track record: across 2,978 recent closed sales we scored, the closed price landed inside the Messtimate range 57% of the time; median miss 9.7% (closed sales statewide, FL + GA feeds that permit an automated estimate). Re-scored weekly; last 2026-10-16.
Actual list price: $688,500 ($478/sq ft) — the seller's asking price is not an input to this range; compare the two.
A 45% spread on the same house — here is what a model can't see:
- Condition & updates — a 1966 home may have had its roof, kitchen, or HVAC replaced since, or not; the model can't see either.
- The lot — this listing is waterfront; water frontage is priced far off nearby averages.
- Carrying costs & concessions — insurance, CDD/HOA and seller-paid buydowns change what a buyer actually pays.
And what the live market is doing right now:
- This home: 64 days on market vs. a 76-day community median
- 15 active listings competing, 6 under contract
- ≈3.9 months of supply
- 61 closed here in the last 12 months

Buyer research checklist
Items worth confirming for 485 Flamingo Drive, chosen from what the record shows. This is general guidance, not advice about this specific property.
- Built in 1966 (60 years): ask for the roof and HVAC replacement dates — insurers commonly ask for roof age on homes this old, and it changes the premium.
- The listing reports no HOA: confirm with the county record that no deed restrictions or mandatory association apply to this parcel.
- FEMA flood zone AE: lenders generally require flood insurance here — get an elevation certificate and a flood quote before the inspection period ends.
- Get a homeowners insurance quote for this specific address in Hillsborough County; a wind-mitigation inspection and, on older homes, a four-point inspection can change the premium.
- Waterfront: confirm seawall or dock condition and permits, and ask who owns and maintains the shoreline.
- Listed living area is 1,439 sq ft: verify it against the property appraiser's record and measure before relying on it.
- Order a survey to confirm lot boundaries and easements.
- Review permit history with the county.
- Property taxes: the estimate on this page (about $7,229/yr) assumes reassessment at the list price; the seller's current bill is not a guide Exemptions and portability change the actual bill — confirm with the county property appraiser.
- School zoning shown here comes from district data and changes; confirm the assigned schools directly with the district before relying on them.

Frequently asked questions
How big is 485 Flamingo Drive and when was it built?
Per the listing record, 485 Flamingo Drive was built in 1966 and has 1,439 sq ft of living area, 3 bedrooms and 2.0 bathrooms. Living area and lot size come from the MLS record and should be verified against the county property appraiser.
What community is 485 Flamingo Drive in?
485 Flamingo Drive is in Apollo Beach Unit 01 in Apollo Beach, Hillsborough County. The comparable-sales section on this page shows recent closed sales nearby from the same MLS data.
Does 485 Flamingo Drive have an HOA?
The listing reports no HOA. Confirm with the county record that no deed restrictions or mandatory association apply to the parcel.
Why might property taxes on 485 Flamingo Drive differ from the current owner's?
The estimate on this page (about $7,229 per year) assumes reassessment at the list price less the homestead exemption. Florida reassesses a home after it sells; for a homesteaded seller the Save Our Homes cap on their assessment does not transfer, and a buyer's own exemptions and portability are applied separately, so the two bills usually differ. Any tax figure shown here is an estimate, not the actual bill — confirm with the county property appraiser and tax collector.
Is 485 Flamingo Drive in a flood zone?
The FEMA flood map places this parcel in Zone AE, a special flood hazard area where lenders generally require flood insurance on a mortgaged purchase. Confirm the parcel's status with FEMA and your insurer, and ask for an elevation certificate.
Can I rely on the figures on this page?
No. Estimated taxes, insurance, payments, and any market or comparable-sales summary are opinions and estimates for general information only and should not be relied upon. Verify all information independently before making any decision.
