Long Bayou is a low-rise, gated condominium community built in 1974 and organized primarily for residents age 55 and over. The complex is two stories tall and is composed mainly of 2-bedroom floorplans with ground-floor corner and first-floor units commonly available. Architecture and site planning emphasize low-density courtyard living: landscaped gardens, covered walkways, private balconies or patios, and a lakeside pool and spa that face water views. Interiors favor comfortable, functional layouts — open living/dining combos, eat-in kitchens, higher ceilings, built-in storage, solid wood cabinetry, stone counters, window treatments, ceiling fans, and occasional updated finishes such as double-pane windows, granite counters or bamboo and tile flooring. Shared facilities are extensive and house-oriented rather than boutique: an active clubhouse with an auditorium/dance hall and stage, TV and piano lounges, library, billiards and card rooms, arts-and-crafts and workshop spaces, fitness area, and on-site management. Outdoors the community provides tennis courts, shuffleboard, bocce, grills and picnic areas, irrigation and garden lighting, sidewalks, and assigned covered parking or carports. Services and utility coverage are comprehensive for the community: typical monthly fees include many utility items plus grounds and building maintenance. The setting is suburban-St. Petersburg close to shopping, services, the Pinellas beaches and regional transit, supporting a low-maintenance, activity-focused retirement lifestyle.
