Old Southeast sits along Tampa Bay just below downtown St Petersburg, a walkable grid of early-20th-century homes, brick streets, and water views that pull you toward the shoreline. It's the kind of neighborhood where a morning walk ends at the bay and a short drive puts you in the heart of St Petersburg, with neighboring communities like Shore Acres and Greater Pinellas Point rounding out the southeast corner of the city.
For buyers, this is a tight, high-value market: just 6 homes are active right now, with a median list price of $2,397,000 spanning everything from $419,000 to $3,900,000. Over the last year 30 homes sold at a median of $747,500, with sellers collecting about 98% of asking — a signal that well-priced listings move. With new construction and waterfront both in the current mix, it's worth comparing options here against nearby Disston Heights and Winston Park.

Old Southeast FAQs
Is Old Southeast a good place to live?+
It's one of St Petersburg's most established waterfront neighborhoods, prized for its brick streets, historic homes, and proximity to Tampa Bay and downtown. The short commute — roughly 31 minutes to Tampa Int'l Airport and 33 to downtown Tampa — makes it practical as well as scenic. Assigned schools include Lakewood High, John Hopkins Middle, and Campbell Park Elementary.
Is Old Southeast expensive?+
It skews higher than much of St Petersburg, with a median list price of $2,397,000 and four of the six active homes priced above $1 million. That said, the last 12 months of sales tell a more grounded story, with a median sold price of $747,500 — so entry points exist alongside the luxury waterfront inventory.
What do homes cost in Old Southeast?+
Active listings currently run from $419,000 up to $3,900,000, averaging about $669 per square foot on a median home size of 3,333 sqft. For a realistic read on closed values, the median sold price over the past year was $747,500.
How is the market in Old Southeast right now?+
Inventory is thin — just 6 active listings against 30 sales in the past 12 months — which keeps pressure on well-priced homes. Listings take a median of 37 days to sell, and sellers are averaging about 98% of their asking price, a sign of a steady, disciplined market.
What about HOA fees and property taxes?+
The median HOA runs about $369 per month, though that varies by property since many single-family homes here carry no association. Median property taxes come in around $18,237 per year, reflecting the neighborhood's higher-end waterfront values — worth budgeting for carefully.
