Shore Acres

Just minutes from downtown St. Petersburg and an easy drive to Tampa, Shore Acres remains one of Pinellas County’s most desirable — and evolving — neighborhoods. With ongoing redevelopment, elevated new homes, and growing demand for modern coastal living, it’s quickly becoming a standout location for buyers and investors seeking long-term value in a prime waterfront community.

With a very nautical feel, boating and fishing enthusiasts love this waterfront community for expansive network of canals, and nearby nature preserve on the northwest corner of the island.

A walkable community with an abundance of parks for daily exercise, kids playtime, and for your fur babies to enjoy.

While Shore Acres remains one of St. Petersburg’s most scenic waterfront communities, it’s important to note that this area is also among the city’s lowest-lying. In recent years, Shore Acres has experienced several flooding events — most notably during Hurricane Helene — which served as a reminder of the neighborhood’s vulnerability to storm surge and high tides. Yet despite these challenges, Shore Acres continues to bounce back stronger than ever, with an impressive amount of new construction and renovation underway.

All throughout the neighborhood, you’ll see homes being raised and rebuilt, often incorporating modern coastal designs and elevated foundations well above current flood standards. These updates not only enhance curb appeal but also bring long-term peace of mind, lower insurance premiums, and improved resale potential. The City of St. Petersburg is also investing in flood-mitigation and infrastructure improvements to help safeguard the community and maintain its desirability for years to come.

For cash buyers and investors, this transition period has opened the door to some excellent opportunities. Older homes that need elevation or renovation are trading at discounted prices compared to nearby areas, creating the potential for strong returns once improvements are made. With its beautiful canals, close proximity to downtown, and an active, family-friendly vibe, Shore Acres continues to attract those who see both the charm — and the upside — of owning property in one of St. Pete’s most resilient neighborhoods.
