Map & Owner's Profile
Casual Elegance in the Estates
Year Purchased: 1999
Why the Owner Chose Hudson
The Estates is a beautiful community. While it is close to shopping, restaurants and numerous activities, it is quiet and safe. A major consideration for us was that, unlike the majority of vacation areas, there is an excellent hospital less than two miles away, and all medical specialties are also nearby. In addition, one of the word's best airports, Tampa International, is less than an hour away and many cruise ships regularly leave from the Port of Tampa.
The Unique Benefits at this Single Family Residence
The Clubhouse has a swimming pool, exercise room, tennis courts, pool table, bocce court and shuffleboard court. There are weekly activites - bridge and other card games, also mahjong. Periodically there are various classes held in computers, aerobics, line dancing, painting, to name a few. There are also special events with dining and dancing.
