Living in St.Petersburg is quite a paradise. Its aesthetics, cleanliness and entire environment is a really a beauty to bask in. With beautiful beaches, parks and various nature spots, St.Petersburg is the perfect place to experience a tropical, island-like living in the state of Florida! This city also boasts a capturing downtown area with mouth-watering restaurants and cafes as well as museums including that exhibiting the works of the great Salvador Dali. After being in St.Pete for two years, I find that many individuals are not aware of this beautiful getaway city which is just about 15 minutes away from the prominent city of Tampa. With that being said, what I’d like, is for St.Petersburg to be more properly advertised and see more visitors each year!
St Petersburg is amazing! The diversity here is an excellent upside for me. The development of the downtown area is growing fast, attracting many different residents from around the world. Gay friendly, full of color and art, and an excellent Public Transportation System.
I personally think ST Petersburg, FL is a fun and beautiful place to visit and to live. I think it's filled with many diverse cultures and respects and provides resources for each.
I moved to Pinellas County when I was 5 years old, and went to public schools. My brother even went to a school that sat right on the beach. Growing up we would drive to friends houses by boat and even would pick up McDonald's food thru a "boat-drive-thru". I absolutely love St Petersburg and all it has to offer, from the great people, great schools, and awesome things to do on any day or time and at ALL ages!
Florida is well known for a wonderful place for seniors to retire to, but they are more than just that! It is truly a wonderful place for all and I could not imagine raising my own children one day, here as well...
