Relaxed coastal neighborhood

Snell Isle is a primarily residential area north of St. Petersburg. Also home to a resort and golf club, the neighborhood is almost entirely surrounded by water, as its name implies. “It’s not the beachy scene that you would see over on Clearwater Beach. Here it’s more about the art, restaurants, shopping and lots of history,” says Christopher Gabbard, a local Realtor with LPT Realty and 4 years of experience. “It’s a little low-key, nice and quiet and peaceful.”
Snell Isle homes also feature dual use piers and boat docks.

Wide variety of housing styles

While residents won’t find any stores or restaurants in Snell Isle, they will find a vast collection of single-family homes displaying an array of architectural styles, which can vary spectacularly from block to block, if not house to house. Prices can range from $350,000 condos to multi-million dollar waterfront estates. Small, understated Florida ranch-style homes mingle with the iconic ornamentation of large Spanish Mediterranean homes. The gabled roofs and porches of farmhouse-style homes contrast with the clean lines and sparse facades of modern-style homes. The occasional bungalow and traditional split-level can be found, as well as Prairie-style homes, whose horizontal-focused architecture originated with Frank Lloyd Wright. “The consumers listing their houses are still getting top dollar and St. Pete is drawing a lot of people from out of state down here,” Gabbard says. “People feel the market down here is really fairly priced.”

Visit the resort and golf course

The resort and golf club take up the majority of space not occupied by houses. The Vinoy Golf Club is a sprawling complex that features a state-of-the-art hotel on the grounds of a golf course built almost 100 years ago. The resort offers 60,000 square feet of ballroom space for events and celebratory gatherings, while golf is played on a redesigned 18-hole course that covers more than 6,500 yards. Lessons, practice facilities, a full-sized clubhouse and a golf simulator are among the amenities available to members.

Non-traditional green spaces

There are no traditional parks in Snell Isle, but there is a community green space highlighted by a memorial to C. Perry Snell, the community’s founder. Nearby is the entrance to the golf course and its Spanish Mediterranean-style clubhouse – instantly recognizable for its tower and an onion dome minaret. The grounds of the green space also include numerous historical statues, and statues were a big deal to Mr. Snell. The neighborhood is filled with statues of animals – lions, tigers, panthers and mythological griffins. Coffee Pot Park is nearby, as well as the Coffee Pot Bayou Bird Preserve, described as “wonderfully loud” by visitors. Snell Isle is also home to the St. Petersburg Woman’s Club, which, like the golf course, dates to the 1920s. The non-profit organization also provides event space, but its primary mission is community outreach. Projects include volunteer work to help hospice patients, military members and at-risk children among others.

Nearby retail on 4th Street

Retail and dining options aren’t too far away, as residents only have to travel a short distance west to access the collection of stores and restaurants that line the 4th Street North corridor. “The supermarkets are right off of 4th street so there are plenty of shops and restaurants,” Gabbard says. “We have a new Whole Foods right across the street from Publix and quite a few fine restaurants. There are a lot of things up 4th Street.”

FOR THE MOST PART Your figures are off, the mean income of around 120K, scratch that it's probably more like 300K at the bottom. Well rent of 1300 if your renting a room in someone's house. Diversity is ungaugable do to the level of privacy that is insisted upon, its an island for the most part. The people there have enough money to buy the house down the street (saw it). So they have a place to stay, while their home is being crushed, and an expensive custom home is being built in it's place. All their kids go to private schools. And SPPD gives extra attention to detail out there, so it's safe. I don't live there, I've been visiting out there for 20 years.
