Thurston Groves is a deed-restricted community of larger single-family homes along Thurston Groves Boulevard in Largo, central Pinellas County (multiple Pinellas real estate community guides, 2026). The homes were built in the early 2000s on land that was a 38-acre orange grove owned by J.T. and Marguerite Thurston, who bought the property in 1917 and whose name and former grove use carry into the community name (local real estate histories, 2026).
Community guides describe roughly 80 homes, most with pools and screened lanais, generally in the four and five bedroom range with three or more bathrooms and larger floor plans. Homes on the western side back up to the Pinellas Trail while homes on the eastern side face a small lake, so lot position and what a home backs to are real value drivers here. Confirm the exact size, bedroom count, lot, and view for any specific home.
Because this is a small deed-restricted community, the money is made or lost on the individual home and lot, not on a countywide average. The drivers are the lot position and backing, the home size and condition, the HOA dues and restrictions, and the FEMA flood zone, all of which have to be read from the listing, the association documents, and a flood-zone check for the exact address.
The pitch is space close to the coast: the community sits next to the Fred Marquis Pinellas Trail, about a mile from Walsingham Park, roughly five miles from Indian Rocks Beach, and a reasonable drive from downtown St Pete and Tampa International Airport. The work is the diligence: read the HOA documents, check the flood zone, confirm the city and ZIP, and price the home and lot honestly before you buy the trees.
