Historic Roser Park

Roser Park is a neighborhood that one might call “lush”, with large trees casting shade upon the cobblestone streets. It’s home to 146 historic buildings and is located roughly within the bounds of 8th Street South, 9th Avenue South, 4th Street South, 11th Avenue South, and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Street South. Within the neighborhood is the historic Greenwood Cemetery and Historic Roser Park’s Neighborhood Association.

The big draw to Roser Park, other than its historic charm and beautiful properties, is the close proximity to St. Petersburg. That means Roser Park residents are always just minutes away from grocery and convenience stores, local businesses, delicious restaurants, parks, fitness centers, and more—many within walking distance. Historic Roser Park is also close to the University of South Florida St. Petersburg Campus, Johns Hopkins All Children’s Hospital, the City of St. Petersburg: Albert Whitted Airport, and other areas of significance.

A main draw of Roser Park is Brooker Creek and Dunn' Trinity Park, which allows visitors to experience beautiful nature sights and the area’s unconventional hilly streets. Along Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Street South is where you’ll find a number of shops and restaurants. It is also just a 5-minute drive to Downtown St. Petersburg, where you’ll find even more options. Plus, Roser Park is roughly three blocks away from Bayboro Harbor, with Poynter Park right along the waterfront.

Historic Roser Park, FL Real Estate

Real estate in Roser Park is highly sought-after. This neighborhood is well-known for its great location, its commitment to maintaining the historical architectural styles, and beautiful, tree-lined streets. The narrow, winding brick roads and other preserved features (such as historical street lights) all add to the charming atmosphere of Roser Park. 

The homes in Roser Park are built in select styles, with (as previously mentioned) a great deal of emphasis on maintaining the historic feel. Therefore, you’ll find single-family homes for sale built in mainly Craftsman styles, although Prairie, Foursquare, Colonial Revival, and bungalow style homes are also commonplace. One defining feature of the area is the smaller lot sizes, as is typical of historical neighborhoods. This does, however, cut down on traffic and make the streets more walkable and welcoming.

Historic Roser Park has drawn significant attention from prospective buyers, so listings are never active for very long. However, the single-family homes for sale are often listed at lower price points than the surrounding neighborhoods. The most luxurious homes in this neighborhood are found generally in the area of Dunn' Trinity Park and along Roser Park Drive South. These homes are typically completely renovated and upgraded on the inside, and on much larger lots than other homes. 

This neighborhood has a lot to offer, and especially appeals to those who enjoy the district’s rich history, whilst also enjoying being close to the city.
