Our Take
Saint Petersburg offers great walkability and solid schools, but the median home price is almost 8 times the median household income, and the area has had repeated internet outages and reports of pit‑bull attacks. If you value cheap housing and low flood risk, you’ll still face high living costs and safety concerns.
