A historic suburb near downtown St. Pete and the beach

St. Petersburg’s Greater Woodlawn is a well-established community offering urban convenience, quaint suburban living and easy access to the Tampa Bay shoreline and St. Pete beaches. Two miles from downtown and Interstate 275, the area’s top dining, shopping and entertainment options are a short drive or bike ride away. Although small geographically, its tight-knit neighborhood association keeps the Greater Woodlawn spirit larger than life, and its diverse preserved architecture, dating back to the 1920s, continues to draw in newcomers. “It’s a very sought-after area, and people love it because you’re so close to everything,” says Elizabeth Zamora-Peña, Realtor with Florida Real Estate Associates, serving the area for over three years. “The houses around there have so much character, too, especially the old homes that have been remodeled.”

Homes usually boast lush green lawns and vary in size from 5,000 to 10,000 square feet.

Historic bungalows, Tudor Revivals and Colonial Revivals from the 1920s

Niche ranked Greater Woodlawn the 13th-best neighborhood in St. Petersburg for young professionals and the 18th-best to raise a family. Despite being a half square mile, the neighborhood has 600 homes and 11 subdivisions along brick streets. Greater Woodlawn offers Florida and Craftsman-style bungalows, Tudor Revival and Colonial Revival homes. Homes were primarily built in the 1920s and ‘30s, with some from the ‘40s and ‘50s sprinkled in. A few modern builds were constructed in 2023 in the Pinellas Addition subdivision. Prices range from the mid-$300,000s for a two-bedroom over 1,000 square feet to $950,000 for a four-bedroom close to 3,000 square feet. Because the homes are older, renovations and remodeling are common in the area; however, most have held on to their original charm with features like stately white columns, wrap-around porches and brick walkways. Most lot sizes are around 7,000 square feet but can go up to 10,000, and locals take pride in their lawns. Residents enjoy spacious front porches, large sunrooms and screened-in porches. Almost all residents have rear garages, and some have in-ground pools and paved back patios. Palms, mature oaks and tropical landscaping provide shade and bring some life to the neighborhood. Sidewalks are spacious, and walkways are wide, allowing for plenty of room.

Soucy has lived in neighboring Historic Kenwood for seven years and has served the St. Petersburg-Tampa area for just as long. The athletic complex offers tennis and pickleball courts, and the park provides regular free yoga sessions. Woodlawn Park is less than 2 miles south and is home to many adult athletic leagues. The 30-acre park also has a playground, spacious multi-purpose fields and a baseball diamond.
