Anyone live in Trinity? (Clearwater, Largo: house, neighborhoods, buy)

[Sharon2226]

I just discovered the Trinity Shoppes (or Villages?) this week with my family...it has an Outback, video game shop, Five Guys, and a Cold Stone Creamery...oh, and an Ichaban sushi restaurant...yay! We drove around a bit through Trinity--it seems very nice in there. Think we will remain in Ballantrae, and possibly buy in there next year--but just curious if anyone lives in Trinity, and what are your thoughts?

I live in Trinity Oaks. Love it. The area is being built up very nicely! Five Guys is awesome! Bonefish is incredible. Ichiban is OK, but there is an incredible sushi bar/authentic Japanese restaurant in Palm Harbor that blows Ichiban away.

don't forget Tijuana Flats! yum!

I also live in Trinity Oaks. We have been very happy here. I was always quite negative on living in Florida until I moved here (lived previously in St. Pete, Largo, Clearwater, Clearwater Beach, Palm Harbor).

I live in Aristida which is very close to Trinity. It is a great area and the shops you are talking about are so convenient (although some have already gone out of business like Let's Eat.) I have friends who live in Foxwood, an area in Trinity and they have wonderful neighbors and there are lots and lots of kids all over the place. The Target shopping center ( a little closer to Little Rd. if you're on SR 54) is also nice and new. There is a Beef O' Brady's, Starbucks, Panera, Publix, UPS, and many other stores in there. Check it out if you haven't already.

We looked there and I do actually wish that we moved there instead of where we live now. Where we live now isnt bad but just a little out of the way. Trinity is a beautiful neighborhood and not too close but not too far from anything.

You know, I love sushi, have tried quite a few places in the area and in the International Mall...where is Palm Harbor? I guess I could check a map. Is that near Trinity?

It's hard to really get a feel for certain places, until you live near or around them. Just passing through, which is what I did a handful of times last year before choosing LOL, wasn't enough to really get a sense of neighborhoods. Now, I really really like Ballantrae...better than Concord Station--love the new schools off of St Rd 54. For passing through a handful of times, I did a good job I think. I brought my kids with me during those trips--hubby had to work and could never come, so he committed to LOL sight, unseen. But, he is very happy, too. What I personally love about Trinity, LOL, etc...is the nature of it all. I love the beach, but unless you have oodles of money to live in the perfect house near or on the beach, it just isn't a nice enough area. I think living a little further out away from a major city, personally, is the way to go, but many like the city, so to each's own, I guess.

We went to the Buffalo wings place tonight in Trinity-it was so fun, and the wings are awesome! I wonder if there are any Catholic churches in Trinity? We belong to St Timothy's in Lutz, but it's a little bit of a drive--might be nice to find another one closer to home.

I have a coworker who lives near where you mention. I actually have a Supertarget not too far from Ballantrae, off of St Rd 54...I have been shopping in Connerton Publix, because the people are so nice, and I know the store so well, now. I should possibly try to check out this other Publix you mention. I have driven past Foxwood--very nice, indeed.

I think they are building a new Publix on 54. Not sure when? so that might be close for you in LOL.
