CHALET ON THE LAKE CONDOMINIUMS

Front of Chalet on the Lake

Chalet-on-the Lake is one of the few all-age communities I've included in this blog.  That's because its great location in the north central area of St Petersburg and the tremendous value it offers. 

First, the location of this well established community is quite good for those who want easy access to all the urban amenities that St. Petersburg offers yet live in a tranquil semi-suburban immedate neighborhood.  Located directly north across Library Lake from the recently renovated and spacious city Main Library,  most Chalet-on-the Lake condominiums have great waterviews. Considering its very convenient in-town location in a desirable neighborhood, I think there is exceptional value in the moderate prices (one bedroom, 880 square feet units priced in the low 40's and two bedroom 1240-1305 square feet units from $60-75,000).  The monthly HOA fees are relatively modest (about $260 a month in mid 2015) that includes trash, water, covered parking, and basic cable.  That modest HOA fee probably related to the fact that this complex is located in one of the highest elevation areas of St Petersburg.  Chalet-on-the Lake is located in a non-evacuation zone that does not require flood insurance.

As one might expect with its location in-town, the grounds are fairly modest in size.  However, most of the units have great views of greenery and the Library Lake out their back windows.  There is a community swimming pool on site as well.

There are only about four dozen condominium units in Chalet-on-the Lake.  Moreover, there is a very modest turnover so you may have to wait awhile to find one on the market.
