Our Take
St. Petersburg offers good schools and a low flood risk, but it’s heavily car‑dependent and has serious internet reliability problems. The high median age and pit bull incidents also make it less family‑friendly than it might look. If you’re comfortable with a car and can tolerate the connectivity quirks, it might work, but otherwise consider other options.
