Remodeled homes in an active neighborhood association

In the spirit of creativity and craftsmanship, many of Palmetto Park’s homes are remodels that were given new life amid the community’s 21st-century revitalization.

Tenants include photographers, painters, graphic artists, metal artists and more. Fairgrounds St. Pete is another neighborhood arts destination.

In addition to the art shops, many of which are stops on the monthly Saturday ArtWalk, the neighborhood also features large, colorful murals painted during the city’s annual SHINE Festival. Conveniently located, attractions such as Tropicana Park, home of the Tampa Bay Devil Rays, Imagine Museum and downtown St. Petersburg are nearby, as well as the bars and restaurants that populate the neighboring Grand Central District.
