Disston Heights

It's a central, established St Pete neighborhood with a genuine family feel, zoned for St. Petersburg High, Tyrone Middle, and Northwest Elementary. The location is a big draw — downtown Tampa and the airport are each about 29 minutes out — and it sits near well-known communities like Shore Acres. You get residential quiet without giving up a central address.

It's one of the more attainable parts of St Petersburg, with a median list price of $389,900 against a range that runs from $59,900 up to $1,120,000. Only one home over $1M is currently active, so this is a neighborhood built around everyday buyers rather than luxury. Compared to waterfront pockets like Coquina Key, the value here is clear.

Expect a median list price around $389,900, or about $277 per square foot on a typical 1,273-sqft home. Over the past 12 months, 337 homes sold at a median of $379,700, so list and sold prices track closely. There's a wide spread available, from starter properties near $60,000 to larger homes past $1M.

Active and steady, with 75 homes on the market and a median 27 days to sell. Sellers are averaging about 97% of their asking price, which tells you well-priced listings hold their value while there's still room to negotiate. The 337 sales over the past year point to a liquid, reliably trading neighborhood.

Most of Disston Heights is traditional single-family streets without heavy HOA involvement, though where fees do apply the median runs about $560/month. Property taxes are modest, with a median of $2,997 per year. If you're weighing renting first, the median rent in the area is around $2,000/month.
