Estate Tips and Trends – Buying the Whole Package

April 27, 2015 by Sharon Fennell Kennedy | St. Petersburg, FL: Pinellas County 6 Comments

It is a fact that people don’t buy just a house – they buy a whole package. This includes the neighborhood, schools, commute to work, cost of repairs and updates, among others.

For those home buyers with families, a great school is probably high on their “must-haves” list. Fortunately, St. Petersburg has many great public and private schools.

Here is a sampling of some of the best.

  • Admiral Farragut Academy: Pre K through 12. Rooted in the tradition of military and boarding schools, the academy puts character education front and center. It has a student body from across the country and around the world. Exceptional learning experiences in the classroom as well as hands on.
  • Canterbury School of Florida: Canterbury is a private school offering pre-K through high school classes, located on Snell Isle. Its strengths include a unique marine studies and diving program, and a focus the arts and music.
  • Pasadena Fundamental Elementary School: K through 5. It is one of the highest ranked elementary schools in the city. While many elementary schools have had to cut arts programs and extracurricular activities, Pasadena has active band and chorus programs.
  • Shorecrest Academy: Private – Grades K through 12. It is a college preparatory school known for its rigorous academics and enrichment programs in the arts.
  • Petersburg Collegiate High School: Charter School – Grades 9 through 12. SPHC was awarded a Bronze ranking in U.S. News and World Report’s ranking of Best High Schools for 2014. Students earn college credit while still in high school. It is located on the Gibbs campus of St. Petersburg College.

    Dinamani will wait for opportunity to blame Govt scoohls and teachers at the drop of hat.But it will not talk about lack of toilets in Govt scoohls.The so called elite private scoohls where they are minting money by making swimming compulsory even for a third std student,are also not having enough toilets for girl students.Parents who give blank cheques to these scoohls are also not bothered.

    Dommage que sa boîte à cigares soit vide, vous en auriez bien mérité au moins un, rien que pour cet article déjà, et alors pour la série…Sinon, pour les poignées de mains molles, ça me décevait aussi quand c’était ce qu’on m’offrait, mais j’ai un jour découvert que mon interprétation était trompeuse, et depuis je « perplexe » à savoir ce que ça traduit réellement. Peut-être est-ce un autre exemple de généralisation abusive où seul le particulier pourrait se montrer signifiant.

    Oh, Mary. I am still chuckling over the tamale rivalry between you and your daughter! LOL! It is a proud moment when they "outdo" us, which my daughter has in many, many ways (but, we do have to have our secrets! LOL! My lips are sealed about the scones!).Scones are hands down my choice over coffecake. And, Central Market is better entertainment than most anything that immediately comes to mind. Our nearest one is in Dallas and I have enjoyed these very scones. They are delectable! blessings ~ tanna
