Old Northeast, St. Petersburg


The Old Northeast neighborhood is approximately 82 years old which makes it rich in history and historical value. The Old Northeast subdivision began in 1911, by a group of men led by C. Perry Snell and J.C. Hamlett. Their goal was to establish the area as the premier residential neighborhood. The Old Northeast Neighborhood was the first neighborhood within the City of St. Petersburg and many of the original homes of the era still exist.

The historical architecture in the Old Northeast area is dominated by a wonderful mixture of predominately Mediterranean Revival, Colonial Revival, Bungalow Styles, Prairie, Williamsburg as well as vernacular style homes. Many of the homes sport front porches, horizontal wood siding, fireplaces, and white picket fences. The homes of Old Northeast neighborhood are surrounded by canopies large oaks and palms, brick streets, a mix of concrete and hexagon block sidewalks, and the beautiful waterfront of Tampa Bay.

The Old Northeast area enjoys an almost unique quality being adjacent to downtown St. Petersburg. North Shore Park runs along the entire eastern boundary which offers the neighborhood a public pool, tennis courts, a baseball field, bike trails, a children's playground and a beach with white sand.

Along Coffee Pot Bayou are privately owned docks which house colorful boats and provide the opportunity to fish, sail and boat in protected waters. The Bayou is known for the manatees which feed in its shallow waters. The historic Snell Isle Bridge crosses the Bayou to link North Shore and Snell Isle.
