2459 Columbia Dr

A low-rise condominium complex built in 1971, the development spans three stories with primarily one-bedroom units and occasional two-bedroom layouts. Architecture is typical of mid-century Florida garden-style communities: low-slung buildings arranged around landscaped courtyards, walkways, and shared green spaces. Interiors commonly feature open floorplans that combine living and dining areas, eat-in kitchens, solid wood cabinets, stone or solid-surface counters, ceiling fans, crown molding, window treatments, and practical attic ventilation. Many units have screened Florida rooms or lanais, upgraded windows, and some modern mechanical replacements such as newer A/C systems and water heaters. Common-area provisions include elevators, storage rooms, and convenient ground-level parking with assigned spots close to units. Outdoor amenities center on active recreation and social life: multiple clubhouses, heated swimming pools, tennis courts, lawn bowling and shuffleboard, golf courses (9- and 18-hole) available to residents, a dog park/dog run, sidewalks and irrigation, and multiple hobby/activity studios. The community operates with a gated, 55+ orientation and provides services such as on-site shuttle/bus to shopping and local attractions, HOA maintenance covering utilities and amenity upkeep, and organized social programming. Pet policies are resident-friendly within community rules. Located in Clearwater, Florida, the complex sits near retail, dining, beaches, and regional airports, offering an amenity-rich, active adult lifestyle with golf, fitness, and frequent on-site events.
