22 Oct Interesting/Unique Neighborhoods: St. Petersburg

When I first start working with someone, I like to learn more about their preferences and lifestyle so that I can find homes in areas that will really compliment them. Each city and neighborhood has it’s own quirks and since buying a home is a long term investment, it’s a really important factor when it comes to making that final decision.

That’s why I wanted to break down some of my favorite neighborhoods in St. Petersburg.

EUCLID – ST. PAUL

This neighborhood was originally developed around an orange grove in the 1920’s. It is less than two miles away from some of the top areas in St. Petersburg – Downtown, Central Ave Business District and Baywalk. It also is the headquarters for the Pinellas County School system and has quick access to all major highways.

Euclid – St. Paul provides the best of both words, the neighborhood feel with city amenities!

Here’s their motto:

“We’ve been called funky, eclectic, artsy, charming, progressive, welcoming, warm, and yes, even weird. We are a small town, but we have a big heart. It’s easy to make yourself at home here. Visit us and we think you’ll agree.”
