The Allure of St. Petersburg, Florida

The St. Petersburg area is somewhat of an untapped, hidden gem — where great values and immaculate properties are available at implausible prices. In the face of economic uncertainty, Tampa Bay, St. Petersburg and Clearwater continue to blossom with glittering waterfront luxury estates, condominiums and homes.

Smith & Associates cover the area and specialize in luxury, beach and bay properties. Several properties currently on the market that illustrate the appeal of the area include this magnificent Mediterranean estate located in Tierra Verde and a St. Petersburg old world-style estate with stunning ocean views. This positive, upward movement in the market coincides with the endless number of amenities the area has to offer, including a relaxed southern charm feel, beautiful parks and architecture, unsurpassed restaurants, fabulous shopping, world recognized beaches, exciting nightlife and year round outdoor activities.

The St. Petersburg area is even more attractive to new and potential residents because the local government and community are open to this growth and balance it by striving to plan and preserve the historic and resort style character of St. Petersburg in particular. In addition, St. Petersburg is considered one of the hottest labor markets in the country and one of the most cost effective regions to conduct business.
