Crescent Lake is one of St. Petersburg's older residential pockets, built around its namesake park and lake just north of downtown. The streets carry the kind of established, tree-lined character that draws buyers who want walkable green space close to the city core, with easy access to the rest of St Petersburg homes for sale and nearby neighborhoods like Winston Park and Disston Heights.
The market here is small and moves fast. With just two active listings and a median list price of $815,000, inventory is tight and homes that sold over the past year did so at a median of $1,099,000 with sellers netting about 96% of asking. If you're comparing options, it's worth also watching value plays in Shore Acres and Greater Pinellas Point while you wait for the right Crescent Lake home to list.
Crescent Lake is a community in St Petersburg, Florida.
