Neighborhoods We Love: Greater Woodlawn and Crescent Heights

Are you searching for historic charm, shady tree-lined streets, and love walking/biking to your favorite destinations and nearby amenities? In that case, you won't want to miss the Greater Woodlawn and Crescent Heights neighborhoods of St. Petersburg, Florida.

These 2 neighborhoods are bound by 30th Avenue N. to the North, 22nd Avenue N. to the South, 4th Street N. to the East, and 16th Street N. to the West. The MLK Business District that spans along Dr. M.L.K. Jr. Street N. (aka 9thSt. N.) divides these two charming neighborhoods. Homeowners choose these neighborhoods for their strong sense of community and proximity to the 4thStreet thoroughfare, downtown St. Pete, and I275.
