John M. Sexton Elementary School

It's a practical, established part of northern St Petersburg with easy access to the rest of the city and Tampa across the bay, roughly 26 minutes to downtown Tampa. Families benefit from nearby school options including Boca Ciega High School, and the mix of older homes and 18 new-construction listings gives buyers real variety.

It sits below St Petersburg's headline prices, with a median list price of $389,900 and homes closing at a median of $400,000 over the past year. The range is wide, though, from a $70,000 entry point to luxury properties above $3 million, and 19 active listings are priced at $1M or more.

The median list price is $389,900 and the average price is about $324 per square foot, with a typical home around 1,148 square feet. There are 111 active listings right now, so buyers have room to compare across price points and styles.

It's steady and active: homes take a median of 41 days to sell, and 336 closed in the last 12 months. Sellers are getting about 97% of their asking price on average, which points to a balanced market rather than a frenzy.

The median property tax runs about $3,025 per year, and the median HOA fee is $542 per month where one applies. Many single-family homes here carry no HOA at all, so fees vary widely depending on the specific property; if you're weighing rentals instead, the median rent is around $1,900 per month.
