Maximo sits at the southern edge of St Petersburg, close to the point where Pinellas County meets Tampa Bay and the approaches to the bridges heading south. It's a quieter, established pocket of the city, with neighboring communities like Shore Acres, Greater Pinellas Point, and the gated Bayway Isles giving the area its residential, low-key character. If you want to be near the bay without paying downtown premiums, this stretch of the city has long been a smart middle ground.
The market here is small and moves fast, so buyers should be ready to act. There are just five active listings right now, with a median list price of $464,000 — a realistic entry point for St Petersburg without the sticker shock of the marquee waterfront enclaves. Because inventory is thin, it pays to have your financing lined up and to compare Maximo against adjacent options like Disston Heights and the broader pool of St Petersburg homes for sale.
Maximo is a community in St Petersburg, Florida.

Maximo FAQs
Is Maximo a good place to live?+
It's a quiet, established part of southern St Petersburg, bordered by residential communities like Shore Acres and Greater Pinellas Point. You're near Tampa Bay and roughly 32 minutes from Tampa International Airport, which suits buyers who want calm surroundings with real commuting options.
Is Maximo expensive?+
Compared with St Petersburg's premium waterfront pockets, Maximo is moderate — the median list price is $464,000. That positions it as a middle-ground option for buyers who want to be near the bay without the highest-tier pricing you'd find in a gated enclave like Bayway Isles.
What do homes cost in Maximo?+
Right now the median list price across the active listings is $464,000. With only five homes on the market, individual pricing varies, so it's worth comparing current listings side by side before you make an offer.
How is the Maximo housing market?+
Inventory is very tight, with just five active listings at the moment, so well-priced homes tend not to linger. Buyers should be pre-approved and ready to move quickly, and it helps to also watch the wider St Petersburg homes for sale market for backup options.
What about HOA fees and property taxes in Maximo?+
Specific HOA and property tax figures aren't available for the current Maximo listings, and fees vary by community and property type. Your agent can pull the exact HOA dues and tax amount for any home you're considering before you commit.
