The neighborhood

The Historic Old Northeast is St. Petersburg’s first established neighborhood, and one of its most beloved. Bordered by Tampa Bay and Coffee Pot Bayou, the neighborhood is defined by its walkable brick streets, granite curbs, hexagonal pavers, and a near-unbroken canopy of mature oak trees.
