“Play Ball!” in Dunedin Florida
April 25th, 2009 categories: Dunedin Homes, Pinellas Things to Do & Events
Disney World, sure; Busch Gardens, of course — classic family vacations. But if you’re a baseball fan, Florida is truly your destination! What could be better than visiting Florida in March and catching a couple of games in a smaller venue where the tickets are affordable and the weather is a balmy 75 degrees?
Even the beautiful Dunedin Florida homes take a back seat when the Toronto Blue Jays fly in! They’ve actually called Dunedin their spring training home for over 25 years. But no matter who you root for, you can come to Florida to see your team and actually get autographed baseballs without paying to get them signed at a baseball convention or not getting them signed at all at a major league park! Speaking of major league parks, while baseball isn’t considered a contact sport, home plate umpire Kerwin Danley can tell another story after getting hit in the head by a broken bat during Tuesday’s game between the Toronto Blue Jays and the Texas Rangers. Good, bad, and shattered bats…baseball is back!
And of course, while Florida is the Spring Training home to all of the beloved baseball teams; Floridians are even more excited for the 2009 season because our very own “worst to first” Tampa Bay Rays who finished the 2008 season topping the American League East are starting out much the same this season. We’re not worried, we’ve got a while before the Fall Classic!

Eniswood Subdivision, Palm Harbor Florida
April 22nd, 2009 categories: Palm Harbor Homes
There are little hills in Florida! The Eniswood subdivision is a beautiful tree-lined neighborhood in West Palm Harbor just northwest of Alt. 19 and Alderman Road. Eniswood is a deed restricted neighborhood with a voluntary Eniswood homeowner’s association which costs only $100 a year if you elect to participate. Most but not all of the homes are 1-story and are 2,300 sq. ft. to just over 5,000 sq. ft.
This ideal family neighborhood features spacious lots and some even provide Eniswood Lake (really more of a large pond) or conservation views. These homes built in the 1980’s feature vaulted ceilings, split floor plans and have a spacious feel to them. Many offer fireplaces for those occasional cool Florida evenings. Many have been updated with new kitchens and baths. You can invest in a home here between the high $200’s to the mid-$500’s.
The highly acclaimed Palm Harbor University High is a short walk from Eniswood, and it’s just a few blocks from The Pinellas Trail and Wall Springs Park. As of this writing, a new Publix grocery store is being built in the small shopping center that borders the neighborhood. Of course, Pinellas Beaches are only a few minutes drive away – including the famed Honeymoon Island and Caladessi Island. If a manicured family neighborhood is what you’re after with an ideal Palm Harbor location, Eniswood is the place to call home.

The Palm Harbor Citrus Festival is April 23rd to 26th
April 18th, 2009 categories: Palm Harbor Homes, Pinellas Things to Do & Events
Just a short stroll from our Keller Williams Palm Harbor office is the site of the Palm Harbor Citrus Festival! This multi-faceted event is scheduled to run April 23rd through the 26th.
In the spirit of community, two organizations are joining forces to promote and produce the event, the Greater Palm Harbor Area Chamber of Commerce and Old Palm Harbor Main Street, Inc. This brand new event is a celebration of Palm Harbor heritage. All of the activities and exhibits will focus on the staples of life in the first days of Palm Harbor in the mid 1800’s.
To commemorate those simpler times there will be juice squeezing contests, bake offs, historical skits, a horseshoe pit, equestrian exhibits, and fish tosses! The music will run the gamut from bluegrass to folk to gospel and the first official “Miss Palm Harbor Citrus Festival Queen” will be crowned! Girls must attend Palm Harbor University High or Eastlake High, be 14 to 18 years old and live in Crystal Beach, Ozona or Palm Harbor to enter.
The sponsors are looking forward to an excellent turnout and a vehicle to bring revenue to our local economy. And don’t miss the premier attraction: the spectacular Palm Harbor real estate that frames the celebration. Definitely a must see!
