East Lake is a census-designated place (CDP) in Pinellas County, Florida, United States. The population was 30,962 at the 2010 census. It was one of the last areas in the densely populated county to develop. It is often confused with East Lake in neighboring Hillsborough County.
East Lake is a Census area that consists of the separate sub-communities of East Lake Woodlands, Lansbrook, Ridgemoor, Woodfield, Boot Ranch, and Tarpon Woods. Its boundaries include Pasco County to the north, Hillsborough County to the east, the city of Oldsmar to the south, and Palm Harbor and the city of Tarpon Springs to the west. It is represented in the U.S. House of representatives by Gus Bilirakis.
The area is popular with families due to the quality of East Lake High School which has managed to rate equivalently with Palm Harbor's University High School (both A+ rated), despite not having the attraction of an International Baccalaureate program like Palm Harbor University High. Also of benefit are the top-flight youth recreational programs offered by East Lake/City of Oldsmar.
The East Lake Community Library is the public library that services the East Lake area. It is a member of the Pinellas Public Library Cooperative. The library’s outdoor space is designated as a Florida Butterfly Garden. As of January 2015, the library has established a special collection area for local, self-published authors to submit their works for circulation and display.
East Lake is located at 28°6′0″N 82°41′50″W / 28.10000°N 82.69722°W (28.099957, -82.697220). The unincorporated community is located just north of Oldsmar and east of Palm Harbor and Tarpon Springs.
