Cromwell Heights

It's a quiet, established St Pete neighborhood that trades waterfront flash for a central location and a manageable pace. You're close to the rest of the city and roughly a half hour from both Tampa International Airport and downtown Tampa. Assigned schools include Campbell Park Elementary, John Hopkins Middle, and Gibbs High.

Not by St Petersburg standards — the median list price is $260,000, well below much of the waterfront market. Prices do range up to $570,000 depending on the home, and the median rent runs about $1,295 a month. It's one of the more approachable entry points into the city.

Active listings have a median list price of $260,000, spanning $259,000 to $570,000, and homes average about $259 per square foot on a median size of 1,425 square feet. Over the past year, six homes sold at a median of $315,000. For a wider set of options, it's worth browsing St Petersburg homes for sale too.

It's a small, slow-moving market — only three active listings and six sales in the last 12 months. Homes take about 85 days to sell and sellers get roughly 94% of asking on average, so a prepared buyer has genuine negotiating room. Comparing against nearby Shore Acres can help you gauge value.

There's no HOA reported for Cromwell Heights, so you avoid the monthly dues common in many Florida communities. Property taxes run about $2,875 a year at the median, which is manageable for the price point. Always confirm the exact figures for any specific home before you write an offer.
