LOCATION. LIFESTYLE. VALUE.
Welcome to Lighthouse Bay Apartments, where laid-back South Tampa charm meets unmatched convenience. Nestled minutes from Bayshore Boulevard, Water Street, MacDill, and Downtown, this tropical escape puts you at the center of it all without the premium price tag.
Refresh yourself with our pool and hot tub, lakeside tennis court, 24-hour fitness center, and no water, garbage, or pest control bills. Yes, seriously.
Choose from spacious studios, one-, or two-bedroom layouts in a controlled-access community with 24-hour emergency maintenance, washer/dryer hookups, and even free notary and fax services (because adulting is easier when it's done for you). Got a furry roommate? We love pets here.
Whether you're active-duty military, a beach lover, or just someone who enjoys being 10 minutes from everything, Lighthouse Bay checks all the boxes. This is South Tampa's best-kept secret, but probably not for long.
