5660 80Th St N

The Berkshire is a low-rise condominium building constructed in 1972 with three stories of primarily one-bedroom residences clustered around landscaped courtyards and communal outdoor spaces. The complex reflects mid‑20th century garden‑style planning with covered walkways, private balconies, and ground‑level storage; exterior features include mature gardens, irrigation, outdoor grills and kitchens, a courtyard, and tennis courts. Interiors commonly offer functional layouts with eat‑in kitchens or kitchen/family room combos, open sightlines between living and dining spaces, ceiling fans, crown molding, solid wood cabinets, stone or solid surface counters, walk‑in closets, and tiled or laminate flooring; many units have been updated over time with impact‑resistant windows, modernized baths, and HVAC replacements. Building services and conveniences include elevators, on‑floor laundry access, private mailboxes, assigned covered parking, and storm protection such as hurricane shutters and rain gutters. The property operates as an active 55+ community within the larger Five Towns development and centers communal life around multiple pools, two clubhouses, a fitness center, courts for tennis and shuffleboard, organized clubs and events, and maintenance of common grounds. Location-wise it sits in northwest St. Petersburg with short drives to Gulf beaches, shopping, dining, the VA hospital at Bay Pines, and regional airports.
