Live Oak

It's a settled residential corner of St Petersburg with easy access to the rest of the city and quick drives across the bay — about 33 minutes to Tampa International. Families are assigned to Northwest Elementary, Azalea Middle, and Boca Ciega High, and neighbors like Shore Acres and Winston Park give the area an established feel.

It sits at a mid-range price point for St Pete, with a median list price of $459,990 and active homes ranging from $275,000 to $899,000. At an average of $312 per square foot, it's more attainable than the waterfront-heavy pockets of the city.

The median list price is $459,990 for a typical home around 1,886 square feet, and over the last 12 months 42 homes sold at a median of $382,500. That gap between list and sold prices reflects a market where offers under asking land.

It's balanced and buyer-friendly, with 13 active listings, a median of 65 days on market, and sellers netting about 97% of asking. Three of those listings are new construction, so there's genuine variety across price and condition compared to tighter areas like Disston Heights.

Property taxes run a median of about $3,073 a year, which is reasonable for Pinellas County. HOA data isn't tracked here, which typically signals many homes carry no mandatory association dues; if renting is your comparison, the median rent sits around $2,075 a month.
