Imperial Cove is a low-rise, gated condominium community on Old Tampa Bay in Clearwater built in 1972. The development consists primarily of two-story residential buildings arranged around landscaped courtyards and lagoons with walking paths and waterfront piers. Unit plans range from one-bedroom to two-bedroom layouts with features typical of Florida condos: open living/dining rooms, eat-in kitchens, lanais or Florida rooms, split-bedroom plans, walk-in closets and a mix of tile and wood-laminate floors. Buildings offer practical conveniences such as elevators, on-floor laundry rooms in some blocks, attic or private storage and covered assigned parking. Exterior elements emphasize tropical landscaping, irrigation, lighting, grills and hurricane shutters suited to the coastal location. The community centers on a large Mediterranean-style clubhouse with a heated pool, fitness rooms, saunas, ballrooms and multipurpose spaces for social programming; an on-site social director coordinates activities including classes, dances and water aerobics. Outdoor recreation includes shuffleboard, putting green, two fishing piers, walkways along the water and waterfront viewing areas where dolphins and manatees are commonly seen. Property management provides gated security and routine grounds maintenance, while unit-level services and updates vary by owner — many listings show renovated kitchens, newer HVAC systems and optional furnished sales. The overall character is an active 55+ waterfront community prioritizing social amenities, leisure and easy access to beaches, shopping and regional transport.
