Live in Jungle Terrace

Jungle Terrace takes its name from the Jungle, Walter P. Fuller's name for the wilderness on Boca Ciega Bay that his father's trolley reached in 1913. This guide follows the area the Jungle Terrace Civic Association serves as the City maps it, a line the association filed rather than one the City drew: 1,368 acres from 66th Street North to the bay between 22nd and 40th Avenues North, where the 2020 census counted 6,176 residents in 2,953 homes. It is also the guide that carries Tyrone: the association map's two Tyrone areas hold fewer than 700 people, while Tyrone Square Mall, opened in 1972, is inside this line and Tyrone Boulevard crosses it. Seminole and unincorporated West Lealman touch the line; Jungle Prada, south of 22nd Avenue on Park Street, is its own guide.

Walter Fuller Park was an airfield. The Piper-Fuller Flying Field, built about 1926 and in the association's history the city's first, lay north of today's 22nd Avenue; the City bought it in 1941 and made most of it a park in 1960. R. L. Piper, the history says, came from Tyrone, Pennsylvania. The association's two histories disagree about where the field was: one puts it where the mall is now, the other west of the old Seaboard railroad, now the Pinellas Trail, and so west of the mall. Neither is a survey.

Helene drew the line at Park Street. On 26 September 2024 Helene's surge, a record at every tide gauge from Clearwater to Venice, came up Boca Ciega Bay. The City assessed 110 parcels here afterward and recorded water inside 102, 84 with 12 inches or more and 15 with four feet or more, every one west of Park Street North, on the bay side. East of it, where most residents live, it recorded none. After Milton it assessed 135 parcels, 35 of them manufactured homes, and recorded water inside 3. These are assessment points, one per parcel, not a count of homes.

FEMA puts 13.1% of the area in its 1% annual chance zone, 8.3% of it the coastal high hazard zone VE along the shore, but only 619 residents on blocks inside it; the reference point on 31st Avenue is in zone X on a 2021 panel. Evacuation reads differently: the County puts the point's parcel in zone D, 739 residents in zones A and B, the first called, and 91 in mobile home areas, which leave in every order. Inside FEMA's zone the City's 49% rule applies: repairs whose cumulative cost reaches 49% of the structure's value bring the whole house under current flood rules, with no look-back period stated. A homeowners policy does not cover flood, and from 1 January 2027 Citizens requires flood cover on most homeowners policies with wind.

No price index follows the line. Zillow's typical value for ZIP code 33710, home to 5,246 of the residents, was $379,341 in August 2026, up 0.5%, but the ZIP held 33,172 people; 33709, with the other 930, was $267,044 and is mostly unincorporated county. The city's figure was $355,759 in June 2026. Every parcel pays the same 2025 stack, 19.9197 mills. A homestead at the 33710 figure owes about $6,718 a year, with $25,000 off every levy and a second, inflation-adjusted slice off all but the school levy; a landlord, about $7,556. Save Our Homes caps a homestead's assessed value at 3% a year and resets after a sale, so the seller's bill understates yours; portability can carry part of an earlier Florida homestead's benefit. The stormwater charge, $12.67 to $59.08 a month, comes on the utility bill. The arithmetic is on the St. Petersburg page.
