Pinellas County's largest city has a little of everything: historic bungalow neighborhoods like Old Northeast and Kenwood, downtown condo towers on the waterfront, and mid-century block ranches across the west and south sides.
St. Petersburg is home to about 262,732 residents in Pinellas County. The median home value is $371,100, 1% below the typical Pinellas community, and half of homes were built in 1969 or earlier. About 63% of occupied homes are owner-occupied.
Parts of St. Petersburg sit on or near the water, so flood insurance, elevation certificates and wind mitigation come up in most transactions.
