Brighton Bay sits in the northeast corner of St Petersburg, where a quiet residential grid meets some of the shortest drives in Pinellas County to the Tampa side of the bay. You can be in downtown Tampa in about 19 minutes and at Tampa International Airport in roughly 22, which puts this pocket in demand with commuters and frequent travelers alike. Neighboring communities like Shore Acres and Winston Park share that same appeal, and buyers often shop across them before landing here.
The market reality is one of tight supply: there's just a single active listing right now, priced at $699,000. Over the last 12 months 14 homes changed hands at a median sold price of $391,250, and sellers averaged 98% of asking — a sign of realistic pricing and motivated buyers. With inventory this thin, comparing against Disston Heights and other nearby neighborhoods is a smart way to gauge value.

Brighton Bay FAQs
Is Brighton Bay a good place to live?+
It's an established residential pocket in northeast St Petersburg with genuinely short drives across the bay — about 19 minutes to downtown Tampa and 22 to the airport. Assigned schools include Sawgrass Lake Elementary, Fitzgerald Middle, and Pinellas Park High School. If you like the area, it's worth also touring nearby Greater Pinellas Point to compare the feel.

It sits in the mid-to-upper range for the area: the median sold price over the last year was $391,250, while the single current active listing is priced at $699,000. Average price per square foot runs about $343 on a median home size of roughly 2,037 square feet.
What do homes cost in Brighton Bay?+
Fourteen homes sold in the past 12 months at a median of $391,250, though today's lone active listing is asking $699,000 — so recent sales are the better guide to real value. Expect around $343 per square foot, and lean on comps in surrounding St Petersburg neighborhoods since inventory here is so limited.
How is the market in Brighton Bay?+
Supply is extremely tight, with just one active listing on the market and 14 sales over the past year. Sellers averaged 98% of asking, but the median days on market for the current listing sits at 182, so pricing and property specifics matter a lot in a thin market like this.
