Bay Isles Townhomes is an attached-townhome community in the Gateway and Carillon area of north St. Petersburg, in Pinellas County's 33716 ZIP. The community was built in the 2000s era and is laid out as multi-bedroom townhome units with a shared pool and clubhouse; confirm the exact year built, unit count, and floor plan for any specific home (community listing pages, 2026).
The location is the case. The community sits near the western shore of Old Tampa Bay in the Gateway corridor, minutes from I-275 and the Carillon office park that anchors major employers including Raymond James Financial, the largest private employer in St. Petersburg (St. Pete EDC). St. Pete-Clearwater International Airport, the Shoppes at Park Place, and downtown St. Petersburg are all a short drive away.
Because this is an HOA townhome community in a coastal county, the money is made or lost on the association and the flood read, not the finishes. The HOA handles exterior and common-area maintenance, so the reserves, any pending special assessment, and the master insurance policy are core diligence. Verify the dues and what they cover for the specific unit.
The pitch is a low-maintenance, lock-and-leave townhome inside the metro's largest suburban employment center, with quick interstate and airport access. The work is reading the HOA's financial health and running the FEMA flood zone and an insurance quote for the exact unit before you commit.
