Winston Gateway is a low-rise, two-story condominium complex built in 1970 and configured primarily as one-bedroom residences tailored to residents aged 55 and over. The brick-and-stucco buildings are arranged around landscaped courtyards and a central heated pool, with mature plantings, paved paths, and multiple outdoor sitting areas creating a garden-like setting. Individual units typically feature open living/dining plans, a Florida room or enclosed porch, built-in storage, solid-surface and stone counters, solid wood cabinetry, ceiling fans, and sliding doors to private balconies or patios. Common building elements include elevators, on-site laundry on each floor, assigned parking plus guest spaces, individual and shared storage closets, and exterior irrigation and lighting. The HOA provides exterior maintenance, roof and building insurance, groundskeeping, water/sewer/trash, basic cable/internet, and reserves; no major assessments are currently noted. Community amenities emphasize social programming and low-impact recreation with a clubhouse, shuffleboard courts, and ample parking. The property’s location near Gateway Market Center puts daily shopping, pharmacies, and transit within walking distance and offers straightforward access to downtown St. Petersburg, Tampa, Gulf Coast beaches, and nearby airports. Pets are generally not permitted under the 55+ rules, and many units have been updated over time with newer HVAC, windows, and kitchen or bath renovations while retaining the community’s original mid-century character.
