Coastal meets urban
Reaching out into Old Tampa Bay, Rocky Point provides locals with a blend of urban and residential life, blanketed by relaxing bay air.

"It's right there at the bridge, too," says Whitney Lohr, Realtor with Berkshire Hathaway and longtime resident of the area. "So it's one of the most convenient places to live in all of the Tampa area." With the area's unique blend of coastal and urban access, Rocky Point is an intriguing option for those who want to have the best of both worlds.
