Talk to a Specialist →Two Gated Tampa-Side Communities at Very Different Price Points
Kings Point (Sun City Center) and Del Webb Bexley (Land O'Lakes) are both gated Tampa-area 55+ communities that attract Northeast buyers. They're on opposite ends of Tampa — Kings Point 30 minutes south, Bexley 25 minutes north. Both are resale only. Both are gated. The price gap is significant: Kings Point starts around $100K for a condo unit; Bexley starts around $385K for a single-family home. For buyers who have narrowed to gated Tampa-side communities, this comparison is frequently the final decision.

Who Each Is Right For

- Lower entry price — $100K+ for condo, meaningful difference vs. Bexley's $385K+
- 24-hour staffed gate is important to you — Kings Point is best-in-class for gate security

- Condo or villa lifestyle is fine — you want exterior maintained by the association
- Single-family home with yard (even if maintained by HOA) is a firm preference
- Modern 2017–2023 Pulte construction — builder-grade systems, current energy efficiency
- Smaller community scale — 850 homes vs. 5,400 means you know your neighbors
- North Tampa orientation — Wesley Chapel, Land O'Lakes, Pasco County
- Budget is $385K+ and condo living is not on your list
