A coastal suburb near Clearwater Beach
Old Bay District hugs the harbor just across from the beach and a few blocks north of downtown Clearwater. With this convenient location, residents enjoy much outdoor recreation on the water and community-led events in this small coastal suburb. Golfing is another popular draw for homebuyers, according to Tiana Lake, a Realtor with eXp Realty who has lived in the Clearwater and Tampa areas for over two decades. “Like-minded people move here to be near each other and the beaches,” says Lake. “A lot of people move here from colder areas, which is making the area more commercialized.”
