Review of St. Petersburg, Florida

Something for everyone
Star Rating - 1/28/2017
This website is saying every town I look at has a decline in Real Estate value. That is not true. I'm a Realtor and homes are rapidly rising in price. Even foreclosures are sky rocketing in price and also declining in quantity. This used to be a high foreclosure area but there are hardly any left. The South side of St Pete still needs some work but downtown is thriving with restaurants, parks, shopping and museums. It is very lively and great for the younger crowd. The West side has the beach and great private schools, including the Admiral Farragut Academy that 2 of our astronauts attended. The weather is incredible (yes it's very hot in the summer) but winters are the best! So many events and restaurants to attend. Great area to retire to.

It’s supposed to be paradise right?? all the humidity bad infrastructure causing flooding when there are storms and not enough bug control .... can’t sit outside as the sun goes down because you will be eaten up by mosquitos and no seeums. People taking a vantage of the housing crisis increasing rents where they don’t pay enough wages to begin with in the area. Building condos for the rich that do not work here. Then you have students everywhere downtown because of SPC and USF trying to get through school and make a life for themselves where are they supposed to live with wages they get after school ????? Every city has its problems. It is definitely not paradise .

LOL everyone on this site says the same thing about every single location whether it's Seattle or St. Pete. "too expensive, mean people, no jobs"..it's either THEM or the entire US which kind of obviates their complaint about that particular place.
