Westchester Lake is a large apartment community between the actual Westchester Lake on the west and Countryside Boulevard on the east. The neighborhood is located in the 33761 zip code in Clearwater, Florida. Pebble Lake Drive is Westchester Lake’s only road, splitting the apartment complexes to the east and west of the road.
The neighborhood itself offers scenic views and a number of different species of wildlife. On the other side of the lake is Countryside Recreation Center. This fairly large center provides the most recreational options in the area, especially to younger residents.
Countryside Recreation Center has several baseball fields, a basketball court, shuffleboard courts, a large playground, and a number of picnic areas. The well maintained baseball fields are often used by area youth leagues. Pavement trails around the center are used by walkers, joggers, and cyclists. For the more adventurous residents, a long powerline trail provides an excellent opportunity for additional exercise.
The best shopping in the area is the Westfield Countryside Mall, located less than one mile away off of Countryside Boulevard. This popular mall offers well over one hundred different stores and a wide assortment of products and services. The stores are mostly major national brands but there are some small local stores can be found as well. With numerous restaurants surrounding it, the mall is also a major dining destination.
The Countryside Country Club, another population recreational spot, is located directly across Countryside Boulevard from Westchester Lake. The club is best known for its golf and tennis programs.
