Search Highland Oaks on the map

Highland Oaks sits in the southern reach of St Petersburg, a pocket of single-family homes surrounded by established neighborhoods like Greater Pinellas Point and Winston Park. It's the kind of spot where homes stay right-sized and the pace is quiet, with easy access to the bay-side character that defines this part of Pinellas County. Assigned schools include Maximo Elementary, Bay Point Middle, and Gibbs High.

For buyers, the market here is refreshingly attainable — the median list price is $299,900, well below much of the St Pete waterfront. There are 13 active listings ranging from $210,000 to $535,000, homes are moving in a median of 44 days, and sellers are pulling in about 98% of asking. If you've been priced out of nearby Shore Acres or Bayway Isles, this is a realistic entry point.

Highland Oaks is a community in St Petersburg, Florida.

Highland Oaks FAQs

Is Highland Oaks a good place to live?+

It's a quiet, established residential pocket in southern St Petersburg, close to bay-side neighborhoods and assigned to Maximo Elementary, Bay Point Middle, and Gibbs High. Homes tend to be modest and single-family, and both Tampa International Airport and Downtown Tampa are around a 30-minute drive. It suits buyers who want an approachable St Pete address without the waterfront premium.

Is Highland Oaks expensive?+

Not by St Pete standards — the median list price is $299,900, with active homes ranging from $210,000 to $535,000. That's a notable step down from waterfront enclaves like Bayway Isles, making it one of the more realistic entry points in the area.

What do homes cost in Highland Oaks?+

Expect a median around $299,900 on the list side and $278,500 for homes that actually sold over the past year. Prices average about $275 per square foot on a median home size of roughly 1,266 square feet, so most properties here are compact single-family homes.

How is the market in Highland Oaks?+

There are 13 active listings and 16 homes sold in the last 12 months, with a median of 44 days on market. Sellers are averaging about 98% of their asking price, which points to a steady, balanced market rather than a frenzy. Compared with tighter nearby areas like Greater Pinellas Point, buyers have room to negotiate.

What about HOA fees and property taxes?+

Property taxes run a median of about $2,291 per year, which is manageable at these price points. There's no significant HOA data on file for the neighborhood, so most homes here are likely fee-free. If renting the numbers instead, the median rent sits around $2,698 per month.
