On the eastern edge of Old Tampa Bay, Brighton Bay is a neighborhood with beach access, a convenient location and a surprisingly young demographic. “People are shocked when I tell them the median age is 38 in the area,” says Katherine Congdon who has been selling homes in St. Petersburg for over 20 years. “It’s a great spot for younger folks. If one works in Pinellas County and the other works in Tampa, it’s a really easy central location.” Brighton Bay is leaning into the younger crowd by building attractions like Top Golf and making institutions like Win! Derby more centered around food and entertainment than the racetrack. There are few better neighborhoods for those who love water, with Gandy Beach and plenty of restaurants with a view of the bay.
Driving down Gandy Blvd in the Brighton Bay neighborhood, you can see the high rises nearby.

The median price for a single-family home is nearly $175,000, while townhouses have a median price of nearly $500,000.
