Tara Cay sits in the coastal pocket of Seminole, where the daily rhythm is shaped by water — canals, bayous, and quick access to the Gulf beaches that define this part of Pinellas County. It's a neighborhood built for people who want a boat, a dock, or just the feel of living near the water without the noise of a bigger city. Nearby enclaves like Seminole Estates, Cordova Greens, and Ridgewood round out a corner of Seminole that stays quiet and residential.
For a buyer today, the market here is compact and waterfront-heavy: of the 11 active listings, 9 sit on the water, with a median list price of $440,000. Homes take a median 59 days to sell and sellers are averaging 96% of asking, so there's room to negotiate but not a fire sale. If you want a canal-front home close to the beaches, this is a focused, buyable slice of the map — just be ready to move on the right listing.
Tara Cay is a community in Seminole, Florida.

Tara Cay FAQs
Is Tara Cay a good place to live?+
It's a quiet, water-focused pocket of Seminole where 9 of 11 current listings sit on canals or bayou, so boaters and beach lovers do especially well here. Homes feed Oakhurst Elementary, Seminole Middle, and the Career Academies of Seminole, and you're a short drive from the Gulf beaches. If you want waterfront living without the pace of a larger city, it fits.
Is Tara Cay expensive?+
It sits in the mid-range for coastal Pinellas: the median list price is $440,000 and homes run about $250 per square foot. There's nothing over $1M currently active, and prices start around $250,000, so it's more attainable than many waterfront neighborhoods on the Gulf side.
What do homes cost in Tara Cay?+
Active listings range from $250,000 to $530,000 with a median of $440,000, and the typical home is about 2,174 square feet. Over the last 12 months, 20 homes sold at a median of $435,950 — so list and sold prices track closely here.
How is the market right now?+
There are 11 homes active and the median time on market is 59 days, which points to a measured, not frantic, pace. Sellers are getting about 96% of asking on average, so buyers have modest negotiating room while sellers still hold reasonable footing. Nearby communities like Bayou Club give you options if inventory feels tight.
What about HOA fees and property taxes?+
Expect a median HOA of roughly $417 per month, which is common for maintained waterfront communities, plus a median property tax bill around $6,095 per year. Factor both into your monthly budget alongside the purchase price when you compare listings.
