What to know about homes in St. Petersburg
St. Pete is full of character homes, from 1920s bungalows in Old Northeast and Kenwood to mid-century block homes and waterfront properties on Snell Isle and Shore Acres.
After the 2024 storms, St. Petersburg buyers need to know whether a home took on water, how it was repaired and whether the roof and electrical system will satisfy an insurer. Andy looks for signs of past flooding, moisture in walls, storm-related roof damage and older systems such as cast-iron drains and outdated panels that commonly appear in St. Pete's older housing.
