Delight in this enchanting neighborhood’s Old Florida charm

Tropical Lush Scenic Historic Charming Eclectic

Situated just one mile north of Downtown Saint Petersburg, Crescent Lake is a charming neighborhood with distinctive landmarks such as a 1920s-era water tower repainted as a giant salt water aquarium and the 56-acre Crescent Lake Park. The neighborhood actually centers on Crescent Lake Park, which boasts scenic lakeside and wildlife views, tennis courts, playgrounds, a historic baseball field, and a paved pathway along the perimeter of the park.

While Crescent Lake is predominantly residential, it is also convenient to a host of shops, restaurants, and bars situated along 4th Street.

Crescent Lake is adjacent to the beautiful Sunken Gardens and just minutes away from Vinoy Park, Jannus Live, and the Dali Museum.
