| St. Petersburg, the glamorous starlet
of Florida’s land boom of the 1920s, has entered
its second golden age offering one of the most surprising
cultural climates on Florida’s coast, a major
league sports market, and a gateway to the state’s
impressive high tech corridor. With a population
of 249,090 as of 2004, St. Petersburg is the fourth
largest city in the state of Florida. The median
age for St. Petersburg is 39.3 and is one of the
lowest in Pinellas County. St. Petersburg is no
longer regarded as a retirement city as its emphasis
on culture, sports, education, business, and tourism
have diversified its appeal and economy. There are
now more residents age 35 and younger than 65 and
older. Pinellas County, where St. Petersburg is
located, boasts the 22nd largest school district
in the nation.
St. Petersburg neighborhoods offer Mediterranean
style waterfront villas, 1920s wooden bungalows,
downtown luxury condominiums and urban-style lofts.
Older neighborhoods are making a comeback in the
midst of a city renaissance, where property values
once declining 10 percent are up in value more
than 30 percent, while downtown is emerging as
one of the city’s hottest residential markets.
An innovative Neighborhood Partnership Program
has energized the city’s neighborhood associations,
now numbering 112 - more than at any time in history.
That’s why the U.S. Department of Housing
and Urban Development called St. Petersburg a
national model for the success of its revitalization
efforts.
