Downtown, the Old Northeast, Crescent Lake and Euclid-St. Paul inside Interstate 275

This area is our grouping, not a line the City draws: the old city inside Interstate 275 and north of Interstate 175, 31,228 residents in 2020. Downtown St. Petersburg is the Downtown Neighborhood Association's 631 acres on both sides of Central Avenue, 10,652 residents in 8,154 housing units, with City Hall, the Dalí Museum, the Museum of Fine Arts, the Mahaffey Theatre, Al Lang Stadium, Mirror Lake and Williams Park inside; the St. Pete Pier and Albert Whitted Airport are on the bay just outside its line, and Tropicana Field is in no association's area at all. The Old Northeast is the Historic Old Northeast Neighborhood Association's 705 acres between 4th Street North and the bay from 5th to 30th Avenues North, 7,133 residents, with the Vinoy, North Shore Park and Sunken Gardens. West of 4th Street are Crescent Lake, 1,268 residents around the lake, its park and Huggins-Stengel Field, and Euclid-St. Paul, 2,598, between Crescent Lake and the interstate. 4 guides are listed below.

Historic review is what differs most here. Most of the Old Northeast, 6,052 residents, is in the North Shore National Register district, and a National Register listing by itself adds no City review; only 330 of its residents are in one of four small City local historic districts, where exterior work needs the City's certificate of appropriateness. Downtown has two such districts, Mirror Lake and Lang's Bungalow Court, with 190 residents between them, and 2,587 of its residents are in the Downtown National Register district. Downtown is also where two of the City's redevelopment areas are, Intown with 6,293 of its residents and Intown West with 954; both capture the growth in tax revenue inside their lines and add no rate. Helene's surge reached the Old Northeast's bayfront: the City assessed 215 parcels there afterward, 47 with major damage and 115 with water inside the home. It recorded water in one parcel downtown and none in Crescent Lake or Euclid-St. Paul. A Florida homeowners policy covers wind and not rising water, so FEMA's flood map for the exact address, the elevation certificate, the seller's disclosure of past flooding and a quote for a separate flood policy belong in any offer here.
