Old Northeast

In the Old Northeast section of St. Petersburg, you’ll find southern charm at it’s best. It features historic homes with large porches and bricked streets lined with old oak trees.

The popularity of downtown shows no signs of stopping. There are new townhomes and condos, as well as established properties to call home. You’ll love the strollable sidewalks with shops, bars, restaurants, and a thriving arts scene. If you want to be close to downtown, invest in a property on the outskirts.
