Bay Oaks is a low-rise condominium community in Clearwater built in 1983, organized across two stories and about 104 total units. Buildings are constructed of concrete and organized around landscaped grounds, ponds with fountains, and shared courtyards that create a park-like setting among mature oaks. Unit mix is primarily one- and two-bedroom floor plans with features commonly including vaulted or cathedral ceilings, open living/dining layouts, eat-in kitchens, walk-in closets, in-unit laundry space, and screened-in porches or solariums overlooking the grounds. Interiors show a range of updated finishes in many residences — vinyl plank or tile floors, granite and solid-surface counters, solid wood cabinets, and modern appliances — while ceiling fans, crown molding, and built-in storage appear throughout. Common-site amenities center on outdoor living: a seasonally heated pool with cabana and grilling areas, outdoor showers, walking areas, pet-friendly green space, and assigned covered parking/carport spaces plus ample guest parking. The association maintains fully funded reserves and handles exterior maintenance; low condo fees reflect the absence of high-rise inspections. The community permits small pets, has no age restrictions, and benefits from an inland location with no flood zone designation, short drives to Clearwater beaches, nearby shopping and dining along US-19, and convenient regional access to the airport and Tampa/St. Petersburg corridors.
