Tara Cay Sound North Homes for Sale in Seminole, FL

Tara Cay Sound North is part of Tara Cay, a gated waterfront townhome and villa community on the western side of Seminole, Pinellas County, along the Intracoastal Waterway near Boca Ciega Bay (community guides, 2026). It sits roughly a few miles from Indian Rocks Beach and Indian Shores, a short drive from the Gulf beaches.

Tara Cay as a whole comprises about 300 attached townhomes and villas built in several phases through the 1990s, of which Sound North is one named phase. The homes are multi-story, typically two to four bedrooms with a one-car garage, in floor plans commonly around 2,000 square feet, with many units enjoying Intracoastal water views. This is low-maintenance, attached living rather than detached single-family or condos.

There is a mandatory townhome homeowners association. Community guides describe dues that can cover items such as grounds and building maintenance, the community roads, water and sewer, trash, and the heated pool; the exact scope, reserve funding, and any pending special assessment vary by phase, so confirm the current dues and coverage in writing per parcel. No Community Development District is typically found in an established 1990s Pinellas community, but confirm no CDD on the tax bill.

The honest variable is water. This is Intracoastal frontage near Boca Ciega Bay, so the FEMA flood zone, the finished-floor elevation, and the flood insurance quote drive real cost, and any boat slip, dock, or seawall must be inspected and confirmed per unit. Pinellas was hit hard by Hurricane Helene storm surge in 2024 with Milton following, and the federal substantial-improvement rule now shapes what older coastal homes can be renovated or must be elevated. Read the flood and insurance picture before the finishes.
