1001 Starkey Rd

Paradise Island is a single-story, 55+ cooperative mobile-home community in Largo, Florida, developed in the early 1990s and centered on low-density, pond-front living. The neighborhood consists primarily of two-bedroom modular homes (Jacobsen and similar models) sited on individual lots with vinyl siding, covered porches or lanais, and screened Florida rooms that maximize waterfront views. Typical interiors emphasize bright, open floorplans with vaulted or cathedral ceilings, skylights, built-in cabinetry, eat-in kitchens, walk-in closets, and accessible features; many homes include indoor laundry, wet bars or dry bars, and modernized kitchens and baths from staggered renovation cycles. Common exterior elements include private driveways or two-car carports, storage sheds, wraparound porches, landscaping and irrigation, and hurricane shutters. Community amenities are extensive for a co-op of this scale: a clubhouse with organized activities, billiards and pool rooms, swimming pool and heated spa, bocce, shuffleboard, horseshoes, and various social programming. Monthly maintenance fees cover water, sewer, garbage, lawn care, cable and internet, and general ground maintenance; some lots include designated pet sections permitting up to two dogs (weight limits apply). The property mix and on-site management create a social, activity-focused retirement environment within easy driving distance of Largo’s parks, botanical garden, shopping, and Gulf beaches.
