St. Petersburg lake living near the beach and downtown
Cradled by a lake and nature preserve and centrally located between St. Petersburg beaches and downtown, Lake Maggiore Shores blends laid-back lake living with the big city. Its ideal location off Interstate 275, surrounded by outdoor recreation, is what’s luring newcomers and turning snowbirds into permanent residents. "People live in Lake Maggiore Shores because of its proximity to St. Pete Beach, Gulfport and the Broadwater area," says Quiana Hanley, a Realtor with Boutique Realty Florida, who has served the area for over five years. Three miles from downtown St. Petersburg and 1 mile south of a vibrant entertainment and arts district, the community offers residents a diverse selection of attractions in all directions. With most homes tucked behind the lake and surrounded by a blanket of towering trees, Lake Maggiore Shores provides the seclusion and privacy of country lake living with many amenities a short drive away.
