Kings Point Clubhouse
We visited Kings Point June 3, 2009 as we were leaving the Sun City area. This is a gated community, and in fact, security is such that we didn’t get to see much of the community; we were directed to the on-site sales office where Walt Towner answered our questions and provided plenty of information about this community. In spite of its location in Sun City Center, FL, Kings Point is a separate entity, physically separate from Sun City Center, and has different bylaws that govern its over 100 home owner associations. There is a palpable rivalry between the two sections that we sensed on more than one occasion. Housing here consists of mostly attached villas, and some one-story condos in contrast to single family homes in Sun City Center. There are over 100 clubs representing a multitude of interests, two clubhouses, 63 holes of golf, indoor and outdoor pools, and walking and hiking trails. Kings Point borders on Little Manatee Park.
Kings Point opened in 1973, so its over 5200 units are newer than the original units in Sun City Center. Housing ranges from 800 sq ft condos to units with nearly 2,000 square feet. All homes include covered parking ranging from a one-car carport on older units, to 1-2 car garages on newer homes. Expect to pay $125K – $200K for nice 2BR. Maintenance costs $350-600 per month, but includes all recreational amenities (except golf) as well as exterior building maintenance, insurance, basic cable, landscaping, trash removal, security patrol and water service.
Like the rest of Sun City Center, most of the retail and community amenities can be accessed by golf cart. Ample shopping is on site or nearby, and not far away are beaches and Tampa Bay.
For more information, contact Walt at 813-215-9319 or his website, visit the King Point official web site, or the Kings Point golf website.
