Scout field notes
What the Scout observed
Documented at time of visit · May 22, 2026 · 9:15–10:23 AM
Building exterior & common areas
"Exterior facade is well maintained — freshly painted stucco, no visible cracking or deferred maintenance. Landscaping was groomed and watering system active at time of arrival. Pool area observed clean with functioning filtration equipment audible. Grilling stations in good condition. Dog park area present — surface is artificial turf in acceptable condition."
Unit interior — sample unit 214
"Unit 214 (1-bed, 720 sqft) observed. Quartz countertops consistent with listing. Wood-style plank flooring installed evenly — no buckling observed. Closet dimensions consistent with listing. HVAC unit appeared less than 3 years old based on unit labeling observed. Under-sink cabinet dry — no moisture staining. Bathroom grout clean. Windows are double-pane — noise attenuation from Clearwater Largo Rd observable and moderate at 9:30 AM."
Noise observation
"Clearwater Largo Rd N is a 4-lane arterial road approximately 60 feet from building facade. At 9:30 AM traffic was active. Scout observed that north-facing units facing the road receive measurable road noise — audible through closed windows in unit 214. Interior-facing or south-facing units would likely observe reduced noise levels. Scout did not visit south-facing units."
Parking observation
"Parking lot observed at 9:15 AM with approximately 35% occupancy — ample availability at time of visit. Surface lot, unassigned for standard units. Covered parking appears to be available at additional cost per leasing staff. No assigned covered space observed to be included in standard lease."
Trash and waste management
"Dumpster enclosure located on north side of property adjacent to Clearwater Largo Rd N. At 9:15 AM dumpster area was full — overflow bags observed on ground outside enclosure. Enclosure gates were open and not latched. This is one observable data point at one moment in time — Scout cannot determine whether this is typical or atypical. Renter may wish to verify trash collection schedule with property management."
Leasing staff interaction
"Leasing associate arrived at 9:12 AM — 3 minutes before scheduled time. Was transparent about floor plans, pricing, and pet policy when questioned. Did not decline any questions. Was candid about the noise from Clearwater Largo Rd when asked directly — stated north-facing units are 'louder' and suggested south-facing units to prospective renters who are noise-sensitive. Scout observed this as forthcoming behavior."

Scout walked and drove surrounding area during visit. Classification as local vs chain based on Scout observation of ownership type, character, and menu.
☕
Le Belleair Café
★ Local independent · French / Kosher
Artisan French bakery and café. Voted Tampa's Best French Cuisine 2025. Scout observed a small, curated menu of handmade croissants, crêpes, and specialty espresso. Warm, authentic character. Outdoor seating. Not a chain. Exactly the kind of local retail that signals neighborhood cultural investment.
1261 S Fort Harrison Ave, Clearwater · 0.6 miles · ~3 min drive · Rating: 4.6/5 (322 reviews, joe.coffee) · Hours: Tue–Fri 8am–6pm
🛒
Publix Super Market
Regional chain · Full service grocery
Nearest full-service grocery store. Publix is the dominant Florida regional chain — high quality stores, well-maintained, pharmacy included. Not walkable from this property. Requires a vehicle for grocery runs.
Approximately 1.4 miles · ~5 min drive · Hours: 7am–10pm daily · No pedestrian route observed
🌿
Sprouts Farmers Market
National chain · Natural / organic grocery
Specialty natural and organic grocery. Better produce and specialty diet options than standard chains. Available in the Clearwater area. Scout notes: signals a neighborhood with health-conscious consumer base — relevant cultural indicator.
Clearwater area · ~2.1 miles · ~7 min drive
◎
Culture observation: The presence of Le Belleair Café — a locally owned French artisan bakery voted best in Tampa 2025 — within 0.6 miles is a positive neighborhood cultural signal. It suggests a consumer base that supports independent, quality food businesses. However, the broader neighborhood is predominantly car-dependent retail (gas stations, fast food, chain services) along Clearwater Largo Rd N. Scout characterizes the food culture as mixed — one standout local gem surrounded by standard suburban commercial strip.

⚠
Zone AE requires action: This property falls in FEMA Zone AE — a 1% annual chance flood hazard area. Renters should: (1) Verify the specific unit's elevation certificate at msc.fema.gov, (2) Ask property management whether the building has experienced flooding and when, (3) Get a renter's flood insurance quote — typical cost $400–900/year for contents coverage, (4) Understand Pinellas County evacuation zones for this address separately from flood zone designation. SQOUT does not advise on whether to rent — this data is provided for renter awareness only.

Observable value assessment
"Pricing at or slightly above Clearwater market average. Building condition and amenities quality are consistent with the price point — quartz, wood-style flooring, resort pool, and fitness center justify the premium vs basic complexes. However the Zone AE flood designation and above-average crime index are material factors a renter should weigh against the pricing. The 6-week rent special observed at time of visit effectively reduces first-year cost by approximately $2,150 — this is meaningful context. Scout scores observable value at 65/100 — fair but not exceptional given the flood zone and crime context."
