Most Popular Historic Neighborhoods in St. Petersburg, FL

May 10, 2021 by Sharon Fennell Kennedy | St. Petersburg, FL: Pinellas County Leave a Comment

As we continue to celebrate National Historic Preservation Month, I am reminded of four beautiful distinctively historic neighborhoods in our city.

The visual charm of these communities and their ability to bring people together because of a shared pride of ownership and history makes living in these neighborhoods special.

With nearly 100 neighborhoods, the St. Petersburg’s real estate market offers an option to fit every lifestyle.

RE/MAX realtor Estelia Mesimer, with over 22 years of experience in the industry, is a neighborhood expert. She has seen trends come and go, neighborhoods change, and the value of properties increase and decrease. Here are 4 of her favorite historic neighborhoods.

4 Most Popular Historic St. Petersburg Neighborhoods

Historic Old Northeast

The Old Northeast was established in 1911 as St. Petersburg’s first residential subdivision, it is perhaps the best known neighborhood with a mix of property styles – Prairie, bungalow, colonial and Mediterranean- revival mansions. It has brick-paved streets, mature trees, charm galore and a very active neighborhood association – HONNA. The typical home value of homes in Historic Old Northeast is $684,244.

Historic Roser Park

Roser Park is one of the best neighborhoods in the city. Its charm, hilly tree-lined streets and friendly community spirit make it a great place to live. There are many green spaces and a variety of homes that range from classic American architecture to craftsman style. The typical home value of homes in Historic Roser Park is $366,440.

Historic Kenwood

Kenwood is one of the trendiest neighborhoods in St. Petersburg and it is where you will find the largest collection of American bungalow architecture in Florida. Its brick streets are lined with classic craftsman-style homes with large front porches. Monthly porch parties are a staple as well as guided walking tours given by St. Petersburg Preservation. It’s a great place for young families and professionals to call home. The typical home value of homes in Historic Kenwood is $367,856.

Historic Old Southeast

Old Southeast was established in the mid-1950s by developer C.A. Harvey and is south of downtown. The neighborhood is famous for its colored hexagon-block sidewalks. The blocks are arranged in patterns and run throughout the neighborhood. The Bayboro House, a bed & breakfast on Beach Drive, SE, is a city designated historical landmark. Many artists call the Old Southeast home. The typical home value of homes in Old Southeast is $369,550.

Bottom Line: The great thing about St. Petersburg is that it is safe place to live and raise a family. The way to choose the right neighborhood for your needs and your budget requires research, some soul-searching about your priorities and working with a knowledgeable realtor like Estelia Mesimer.
