Placido Bayou Real Estate

Placido Bayou

Discover the tranquil enclave of Placido Bayou, a peaceful and private Tampa Bay community nestled in the Old Northeast area of St. Petersburg, between Shore Acres and Snell Isle. Aptly named after the Italian word for "tranquil," Placido Bayou was once untouched wild Florida nature and has evolved into one of the only deed-restricted and gated communities within St. Petersburg city limits. Cherished by upscale young families, this waterfront property spans over 360 acres of land and 26 acres of lakes, bordered by 85 acres of protected nature preserve and mangroves. A coveted neighborhood in Tampa Bay, Placido Bayou is considered one of the best places to build a custom home in Pinellas County. Boasting over 600 single-family homes, condominiums, and townhouses with diverse architectural styles, from contemporary to luxurious, Placido Bayou creates a waterfront oasis in the heart of the city. Residents enjoy a serene lifestyle surrounded by wildlife, nature, stocked fishing ponds, walking trails, and proximity to world-class boating and golfing opportunities. Just minutes from downtown St. Petersburg, this community offers a peaceful and secure alternative for those seeking proximity to the vibrant energy of St. Pete.
