St Pete Beach, Florida

It suits buyers who want beach-town life with real city access — the Gulf and Intracoastal on one side, downtown Tampa and TPA both about 39 minutes away. Neighborhoods range from historic, walkable Pass-a-grille Beach to boat-friendly canal enclaves. Azalea Elementary is the most common assigned school.

It's a premium coastal market, with an average of $587 per square foot and a median list price of $539,900. The range is wide — from $170,000 up to $7,000,000 — and 43 of the 159 active listings are priced at $1M or more. You can browse by price to find where your budget lands.

Over the last 12 months, 336 homes sold at a median price of $600,000, while current active listings carry a $539,900 median. Median home size runs about 1,258 square feet, reflecting the island's heavy condo mix. For larger or view-driven options, check the homes with water views.

It's a measured market favoring prepared buyers: homes take a median 96 days to sell and sellers get about 94% of asking on average. With 159 active listings against 336 sales in the past year, there's inventory to compare. Keeping an eye on just reduced listings can surface the best value.

Because the inventory skews toward condominiums and gated communities, HOA costs matter — the median HOA runs about $836 per month. Median property tax is roughly $5,272 per year, and median rent sits at $3,200 per month. Fees vary widely by building, so review them closely on townhomes & condos.
